Action film icon and martial artist Chuck Norris has died at the age of 86.
The Walker, Texas Ranger star passed away on Saturday in Hawaii after a sudden illness.
Norris was born in Oklahoma in 1940 and began his martial arts journey while serving in the US Air Force in Korea.
He went on to become a six-time undefeated world karate champion and later founded his own style, Chun Kuk Do.
After leaving the military, Norris turned to acting - making his debut in The Wrecking Crew - and went on to become one of Hollywood’s most recognisable action stars.
In a statement, his family said they were sharing the news with “heavy hearts,” describing him as a symbol of strength to the world — and at home, a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
They honoured his life of faith, purpose and unwavering love, saying he inspired millions and leaves a lasting legacy.
Vale, Chuck Norris.
