Legendary actor Val Kilmer has passed away at 65.

The actor, best-known for his roles in Batman Forever and The Doors, has passed away in Los Angeles on Tuesday. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed the news and shared that her father died from pneumonia.

Kilmer was also diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014.

He was last seen in the blockbuster film Top Gun: Maverick, where his illness was included into the film’s plot and also involved the death of his character, Iceman.

We send our thoughts and prayers to his family during this difficult time.
