Chuck Norris’ Loved Ones Slam Fake Death Reports, Set the Record Straight

Chuck Norris’ family is warning the public not to trust online claims about the actor’s passing. The martial arts legend and star of films like Missing in Action and the TV series Walker, Texas Ranger died last month in Hawaii at the age of 86.

In a statement shared via Norris’ official Instagram account, the family addressed AI-generated videos and posts that have circulated since his death. “We are aware that since Chuck’s passing, there have been a number of AI-generated videos and posts circulating online that contain false and misleading information regarding the circumstances of his passing, his health history, and who was present,” they wrote.

The family emphasized that these reports are completely false. “These claims are entirely untrue. This includes fabricated reports of past medical issues, as well as false narratives surrounding family relationships,” they said. They asked fans to only trust information coming directly from the Norris family or official family representatives. “We kindly ask that you do not believe or share any information unless it comes directly from the Norris family or an official family representative,” they added.

Some of the AI-generated posts included fake photos of Norris’ funeral, showing celebrities like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Bruce Willis, and Mel Gibson attending. The family did not comment specifically on these images but made clear that they were not real.

Norris’ family reflected on his life and legacy in the statement. “He lived his life with faith, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to the people he loved. Through his work, discipline, and kindness, he inspired millions around the world and left a lasting impact on so many lives,” they said. “While our hearts are broken, we are deeply grateful for the life he lived and for the unforgettable moments we were blessed to share with him. The love and support he received from fans around the world meant so much to him, and our family is truly thankful for it. To him, you were not just fans, you were his friends.”

The family also confirmed that Norris was surrounded by his loved ones at the time of his passing and was at peace. Survivors include his second wife, Gena, whom he married in 1998, and his children Mike, Dina, Eric, Danilee, and Dakota.

It’s clear that even after his death, Norris remains a figure whose life and legacy capture the attention of fans and media worldwide. The family’s message is a reminder to check facts carefully and avoid spreading misinformation.
