Larry King, legendary American talk show host has been hit with a double dose of tragedy following the deaths of his two oldest children.

The former talk show host who himself is recovering from a stroke, lost his son, Andy, 65, to a sudden heart attack in July, while his daughter Chaia  52, died on Wednesday, August 19th following a battle with lung cancer.

King’s granddaughter Jillian, 31, said the 86-year-old TV show host was still recovering from his stroke and unable to travel from Los Angeles due to coronavirus, and so he had to watch his Florida-based son be buried on video.

“Everyone’s feeling pretty bad and broken. 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.” Jillian told DailyMail in an exclusive interview.

Larry King adopted Andy, whose full name was Louis Andrew King, in 1962 after marrying his mother Alene Akins. The couple wedded in 1961, divorced in 1967, and remarried again from 1967 to 1972. They had daughter Chaia together in 1969.

The 86-year-old television legend will not be attending the funerals scheduled to hold in Florida. He is unable to fly from his Los Angeles residence as a result of his ill-health.
