Legendary talk show host Larry King has broken his silence after the recent deaths of two of his children.

King’s son, Andy King, 65, died unexpectedly of a heart attack on July 28, and Chaia King, 51, died due to lung cancer on August 20.

“Losing them feels so out of order,” King said in a Facebook post. “No parent should have to bury a child.”

King thanked the public for their support and well-wishes, but asked for time and privacy to heal.
