However, his son Chance in a statement released on Saturday morning confirmed that his father has passed away.

“For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry’s many thousands of interviews, awards, and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster,” the statement said.

Before his death, King hosted “Larry King Live” on CNN for over 25 years.
