Longtime television hostLarry Kinghas been hospitalized with COVID-19.
A source close to King’s family toldABC Newsthat everyone is hoping for the best.
Both of them were good and kind souls and they will be greatly missed.
Losing them feels so out of order.
No parent should have to bury a child.
My family and I thank you for your outpouring of kind sentiments and well wishes.
In this moment, we need a little time and privacy to heal.
I thank you for respecting that."
King also toldPeoplethat at the age of 86, he no longer worried about death.
“I’m 86 and it is what it is.
I just want to keep working until the end.
I’d like to die at work I’ll retire right there!”
