The Hollywood acting legend died on Wednesday, February 5, at the age of 103, at his home in Beverly Hills, California. His son Michael, 75, shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram.

“It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103. To the world he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to,” he wrote. “But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband.”

“Kirk's life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet,” Michael continued. “Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true.

Hours after news broke of Kirk’s death, fans found the last photo of him with his loving family. The shot was posted on August 19, 2019, by Kelsey Douglas, the daughter of Peter Douglas, one of Kirk's three living sons. Eric Douglas died in 2004.

“A table of strong jaw lines, large appetites and a shared love for attention #FAMILY," she captioned the post.

Kelsey shared various other photos of her and Kirk after August, but fans believe the shots were taken prior to the day she posted them, making the family post the last photo taken of Kirk before his death.
