“We have received confirmation from Christopher, Tony’s son, that Tony passed away earlier this morning, with his loving family at his side to see him through this journey,” the statement from his representatives told TMZ.

Tony was diagnosed with liver cancer in May.

Our thoughts are with Tony and his loved ones during this time. RIP.

This is not the first time this has happened to a celebrity. Tanya Roberts‘ death was reported in January of 2021 prematurely. Tanya unfortunately passed a few days later.
