King’s broadcasting fame began in the 1970s, he then went on to have his own television show, Larry King Live on CNN, between 1985 and 2010, where his guests included politicians and celebrities.
In the digital era, King has 2.4 million followers on Twitter, with his most recent tweet posted on 27 November for Thanksgiving.
Two of King’s five children died within weeks of each other. Andy, 65, suffered a heart attack in late July, while Chaia, 52, died from lung cancer.
In 1988, Larry King founded his own charity, the Larry King Cardiac Foundation, to help fund the treatment of patients with no medical insurance.
