Larry King reportedly left behind a “handwritten will” that would advise a couple of his fortune to his five children in the event of his death.
The legendary journalist died of sepsis on January 23 at the age of 87 in Los Angeles after fighting COVID-19.
His last will was written on Oct. 17, 2019, about two months after he filed for divorce from his seventh wife, Shawn Southwick, which was completely off the mark, according to TMZ.

He told Entertainment Tonight, “It was an infection, it was sepsis. Well, at last it was ready, I’ll tell you.
“You know, he never wanted to go there, but his small, sweet body was fair, he had just been hit so many times with so many things, and once we heard the word Covid, all our hearts sank.
“But he beat it, I knew it, he beat it, but it took its toll, and finally the unrelated infection is what brought him down, but boy, wouldn’t it go down easily.”
Shawn said she was grateful to be able to talk to Larry, the father of her children Chance, 21, and Cannon, 20, in a video call before his death.
