Veteran US television host Larry King has tested positive for COVID-19 and is being treated at a Los Angeles hospital, reported his former employer CNN.
Citing an unidentified person close to the family, CNN said the 87-year-old has been undergoing treatment at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre for more than a week.
Hospital protocols have kept Mr King's family members from visiting him.
The Peabody Award-winning broadcaster was among America's most prominent interviewers of celebrities, presidents and other newsmakers during a half-century career that included 25 years with a nightly show on CNN.
"Larry has fought so many health issues in the last few years and he is fighting this one hard too, he's a champ," an unnamed source told the US broadcaster ABC News.
Mr King has had medical issues in recent decades, including heart attacks and diagnoses of diabetes and lung cancer.
Last year, he lost two of his five children within weeks of each other.
His son Andy King died of a heart attack at 65 in August, and daughter Chaia King died from lung cancer at 51 in July, Larry King said then in a statement.
