Larry King Fans Offer Condolences After He Breaks His Silence Over Children’s Deaths
Broadcasting legend Larry King confirmed his son Andy and daughter Chaia died less than a month [...]
Oh Larry. I’m so very sorry. I know how you loved them. I remember Chaia so fondly. One particular memory: you, Chaia & I shared car in LA to some event. You BEAMED the whole way, just talking w/ her. I could feel you literally radiated your love for her.

My deepest condolences.
King adopted Andy, the son of his third wife Alene Akins, in 1962. Chaia was born in 1969, during King's second marriage to Akins. King has three surviving children, Larry Jr., 58, from his marriage to Annette Kaye; and sons Chance, 21, and Cannon, 20, from his marriage to Shawn King. A source close to King told the Daily Mail he is "truly devastated" by Chaia and Andy's deaths. "He barely survived last year through his own ill health; now he's lost two kids just weeks apart," the source said, adding that the last time King was with his children was on Father's Day.

King has faced numerous health issues in recent years, including a stroke in March 2019. In November, he told Page Six his doctors thought he was going to die. "I had a sepsis infection, I had a new stent put on the heart," the former Larry King Live host said. "It's been amazing – everyone tells me they can't believe I made it through."
