Larry King's last known will has surfaced and it requests that his entire estate be left to his children.

As per reports, a handwritten note, which was dated October 17, 2019, sees the late, great TV icon state that he wants his fortune divided equally among his children: Chaia, Andy, Larry Jr., Chance and Cannon. Last year, Andy, 65, and Chaia, 51, both passed away. TMZ reported that his divorce documents from Shawn King, which were filed two months prior to the handwritten will, states that his estate is worth around $2 million.

In January, King admitted that her husband did not die from the COVID-19. "It was an infection, it was sepsis," she detailed in an interview with ET. "Well, he was finally ready to go, I will tell you that. You know, he never wanted to go but his sweet little body was just, it had just been hit so many times with so many things and once we heard the word COVID, all of our hearts just sunk. But he beat it, you know, he beat it, but it did take its toll and then the unrelated infection finally is what took him, but boy, he was not gonna go down easily."

King died on January 23 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 87. Shortly after his death, Chance and Cannon took to Facebook to remember their father with a heartwarming message. “We are heartbroken over our father’s death, and together with our extended family mourn his passing. The world knew Larry King as a great broadcaster and interviewer, but to us he was ‘dad,'” the pair wrote on his Facebook page. “He was the man who lovingly obsessed over our daily schedules and our well-being, and who took such immense pride in our accomplishments — large, small, or imagined. And, through it all, we knew without a doubt in the world that he loved us more than life itself. He was an amazing father, and he was fiercely loyal to those lucky enough to call him a friend. We will miss him every single day of our lives."
