King's company, Ora Media, shared the news on social media and revealed that he passed away on January 23 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The cause of his death was not revealed.

"For 63 years and across the platforms of radio, television and digital media, Larry's many thousands of interviews, awards and global acclaim stand as a testament to his unique and lasting talent as a broadcaster," the statement read.
