The New York Post reported over the weekend that two of the legendary broadcaster’s children died within three weeks of each other.

On Sunday, the legendary broadcaster spoke about their passing for the first time.

In a post on Facebook, King wrote: “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.”

Chaia was 51 and Andy was 65.

“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,” he wrote.

“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,” he added.
