Broadcasting legend Larry King is hospitalized in Los Angeles with COVID-19, a source close to his family told ABC News on Saturday.
“Larry has fought so many health issues in the last few years and he is fighting this one hard too. He’s a champ,” the source said.
The 87-year-old former television host is hospitalized at L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Details of his condition were not immediately disclosed.
Hospital protocols have kept King’s family members from visiting him.
The Peabody Award-winning broadcaster was among America’s most prominent interviewers of celebrities, presidents and other newsmakers during a half-century career that included 25 years with a nightly show on CNN.
He has had medical issues in recent decades, including heart attacks and diagnoses of diabetes and lung cancer.
