Larry King has confirmed the cause of death for both his son and daughter after they died unexpectedly within three weeks of each other. The devastated US talk show host, 86, paid tribute to daughter Chaia King, 51, and 65-year-old Andy King after their sudden deaths within the last month. Opening up for the first time about his heartbreaking losses, Larry said in a statement: "It is with sadness and a father's broken heart that I confirm the recent loss of two of my children, Andy King, and Chaia King.

"Both of them were good and kind souls and they will be greatly missed. Andy passed away unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 28th, and Chaia passed on August 20th, only a short time after having been diagnosed with lung cancer."
