- Beloved actor Alain Delon passes away at the ripe age of 88.

Legendary French film actor Alain Delon, aged 88, bid farewell to this world peacefully at his residential abode in Douchy, situated south of Paris. His offspring, Alain Fabien, Anouchka, and Anthony, shared this somber news with the press through a joint communique to AFP on a Sunday morning.

The loved ones of the late cinematic icon humbly request solitude "during this deeply distressing phase of grief".

I'm not attending any interviews or public events at this time due to our family's profound grief. I'm not going to make any further statements beyond what we've shared through the communique.
