Talk show legend Larry King’s daughter, Chaia, has reportedly died aged 52 after losing a battle with lung cancer.
The death comes just weeks after his son, Andy, “died suddenly.”
The 86-year-old US television icon is currently recovering from a stroke, which means he’s unable to fly from Los Angeles to Florida for the funerals, according to Daily Mail.
Larry’s granddaughter, Jillian, 31, told the publication that the star’s 65-year-old son died unexpectedly on July 28 from what they believe was a heart attack.
And only three weeks later, his 52-year-old daughter passed away from lung cancer.
Jillian told the publication that the family is “feeling pretty bad and broken.”
She added: “Larry is really hurt and upset. He was very sick last year.
“His kids were all taking very close care of him. He’s upset that he’s lost them now.”

Larry suffered a near-fatal stroke in March 2019 that left him in a coma for two weeks, which he is currently still recovering from.
Jillian, who is Andy’s daughter, said she was out of town when her father unexpectedly passed away.

She said: “We’re assuming it was a heart attack but there wasn’t ever an autopsy.
“I was in disbelief when I heard. Chaia, with everything she was going through, was more expected.
“At least we had time to prepare. But there was no warning with him. It was a shock.”
Chaia co-wrote a children’s book with her famous father in 1997 – titled Daddy Day, Daughter Day.
