US television personality Larry King has suffered a terrible tragedy.
The New York Post reports that two of the legendary broadcaster’s children have died in the past three weeks.
According to the publication, sources say this son Andy passed suddenly a couple of weeks ago, and his daughter, Chaia, died Thursday after battling a chronic illness.
Chaia was 51 and Andy was 65.

Larry, 86, adopted Andy in 1962 after he married his mother, Alene Akins. Larry and Akins had Chaia in 1969.
“Larry and his three remaining children are distraught, and Larry’s still recovering from his own health issues from last year,” said an insider, referring to his stroke last year.
The Larry King Live host is also the father to Larry Jr., from his second marriage, and university-age sons Chance and Cannon, from his most recent marriage to Shawn King, 60.

Larry wrote a children’s book, Daddy Day, Daughter Day with late daughter Chaia in 1997, in which they both gave their perspectives on his divorce from Akins.
Akins herself died in 2017, with Larry tweeting at the time, “ So very saddened over the passing of Alene Akins, who died peacefully with our children Chaia and Andy by her side. She was a grand lady.”
Larry suffered a stroke last year, telling the New York Post that despite his illness, he was extremely happy to be spending time with his children.
A rep for Larry couldn’t be reached.
