Fred Willard has died aged 86.
His agent Michael Eisenstadt confirmed the sad news on Saturday just one day after the star had died.
The Everybody Loves Raymond actor died of natural causes on Friday night.
His daughter Hope Mulbarger paid a loving tribute to her father as she lamented her family would "miss him forever".
In a glowing message, the actor's daughter spoke fondly of how her father was always "moving, working and making" everyone happy until he died.
She said in a statement: “My father passed away very peacefully last night at the fantastic age of 86 years old.
"He kept moving, working and making us happy until the very end. We loved him so very much! We will miss him forever.”
Fred was famed for his high-flying acting career which spanned over 50 years.
The actor turned his hand at any role as he nailed acting as an art form.
He appeared in genres from cartoons to comedies, soaps to sitcoms.
His death comes two years after his wife Mary Willard died in 2018.
The couple wed in 1968 and they were married for 50 years until Mary died aged 71.
They leave behind their now grown-up daughter Hope.
Among his catalogue of famous roles, Fred played Frank in Modern Family in all 11 seasons.
His character Frank died of old age earlier this year.
Also, he got an Emmy nomination for outstanding guest actor in a comedy series in 2010 for the role.
Fred was catapulted into fame in 1977 and went onto have a flourishing career for more than five decades.
He had a breakthrough with his role on late-night comedy Fernwood 2 Night.
Often Fred appeared in countless sketches on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
American TV host Jimmy explained Fred was a natural entertainer with a "twinkle in his eye" and he was well loved "right off the bat".
“Everybody of every age seems to know him,” he said in a previous interview.
“I try to set his appearances — these fake satellite remotes — up as seriously as I can so we have that great moment of recognition when you see him. Now, we’ve reached the point where people expect it to be him.
"He’s got that twinkle in his eye, and people love him right off the bat. He’s this unique combination of approachable Midwestern guy and someone weird. Behind that very friendly face, there’s a slightly off-kilter brain.”
