He died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to a statement by Ora Media, a production company he co-founded.

Although the statement did not specify the cause of death, King was recently hospitalized with Covid-19 and had endured health problems for many years, including a near-fatal stroke in 2019 and diabetes.

“With profound sadness, Ora Media announces the death of our co-founder, host, and friend Larry King, who passed away this morning at age 87 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles,” the company said.
