Legendary TV and radio host Larry King has died after battling COVID-19.

According to Ora Media (a company King co-founded), he passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

He interviewed public figures such as: Former President Barack Obama, Mike Tyson, Lady Gaga, Snoop Dogg, Jerry Seinfeld, Prince, Former President Bill Clinton, Elizabeth Taylor, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
