Larry King’s sons are mourning the loss of their father. In a statement on King’s Facebook page on Saturday evening, Larry King, Jr., Chance King and Cannon King said they were “heartbroken” by King’s death.
The legendary TV and radio host died early Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 87.
“We are heartbroken over our father’s death, and together with our extended family mourn his passing. The world knew Larry King as a great broadcaster and interviewer, but to us he was ‘dad,'” Larry, Chance and Cannon’s statement read. “He was the man who lovingly obsessed over our daily schedules and our well-being, and who took such immense pride in our accomplishments — large, small, or imagined. And, through it all, we knew without a doubt in the world that he loved us more than life itself. He was an amazing father, and he was fiercely loyal to those lucky enough to call him a friend. We will miss him every single day of our lives.”
“The outpouring love and the remembrances of his remarkable career have touched us deeply and we are so thankful. In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask consideration of a donation to the American Heart Association or the Beverly Hills Fire Department EMS, to which a debt of gratitude is owed for the wonderful care they provided to our dad in his final years. With deep appreciation,” they concluded.
