Legendary talk show host Larry King died Saturday morning, a family member confirmed to ABC News. He was 87.
A statement from Ora Media, the parent company of Ora TV which King co-launched in 2012, read: "With profound sadness, Ora Media announces the death of our co-founder, host and friend Larry King, who passed away at age 87 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles."
King overcame several health challenges over the years, including a heart attack that led to bypass surgery -- and encouraged King to quit smoking. King also survived lung cancer and underwent surgery at Cedars-Sinai in 2017. King also was diagnosed with and treated for prostate cancer in 1999.
In 2019, he suffered a stroke that left him unable to walk on his left foot, and he was sometimes seen using a wheelchair afterward.
On Jan. 2, King was hospitalized for COVID-19 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, a source close to the King family told ABC News.
"I never thought I'd be 86," King told Page Six at the time. "My father died when he was 43, 44. I thought I would die too."
"I have no complaints. Everything that's happened to me, I'm grateful for," he told the publication. "Maybe that sounds cliché, but I'm really, really grateful."
I didn't see anything about this,

Hilton Valentine, the guitarist for British Invasion band The Animals known for his iconic guitar riff on the group's version of "House of the Rising Sun," has died at the age of 77.
Abkco Music, The Animals' label, confirmed the musician died on Friday in a statement posted to its website.
"We, along with all of the music world, mourn the loss today of Hilton Valentine a founding member of The Animals. Valentine was a pioneering guitar player influencing the sound of rock and roll for decades to come. His death was revealed by his wife, Germaine Valentine," the label said in a statement.
Born in May 1943, Valentine grew up in North Shields, Northumberland on the English coast. He began playing guitar at 13, and like many musicians of the British Invasion, gravitated towards skiffle — an English music craze infusing together several American traditions.

Hal Holbrook, the Tony and multiple Emmy winner famed for his portrayal of Mark Twain, has died. He was 95.
The actor who portrayed Watergate informant Deep Throat in 1976's "All the President's Men" opposite Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford died on Jan. 23 in his Beverly Hills home, his assistant Joyce Cohen confirmed Monday.
Holbrook, a World War II veteran who discovered his love of the stage via Army performances during his service from 1942 to 1946 while stationed in Newfoundland, would eventually be nominated for an Oscar at 82 for his haunting performance in Sean Penn's "Into the Wild."
But he was perhaps best-known for his enduring portrayal of a seminal American literary figure.
The actor first played legendary author Mark Twain in a 1954 one-man show he developed while studying at Denison University in Ohio — and continued to play the Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer writer throughout the next six decades of his career.
"There was so much to learn and it was all fun — but the best part was getting a laugh from an audience. That was like drowning in candy," Holbrook said of his most famous role in his 2011 memoir "Harold: The Boy Who Became Mark Twain."
Holbrook would go on to win a Tony Award in 1966 for Broadway's "Mark Twain Tonight!" as well as four Emmys for his work on television.

I know who he is, but I can't recall seeing him in any movies.
