Chuck Norris’s family is upset about artificial intelligence-generated videos spreading inaccurate information after his recent passing, which occurred almost two weeks ago.
The actor passed away on Thursday, March 19th, at the age of 86. His family announced his death the next day, after he experienced a medical issue while in Hawaii.
Norris’ family recently used his Instagram account to publicly deny claims made in videos created using artificial intelligence, calling them false.
We know that since Chuck passed away, many fake videos and posts created by AI have been shared online. These posts contain incorrect and misleading details about how he died, his medical background, and who was with him at the time.
They strongly denied the claims, stating they are completely false. This includes made-up stories about previous health problems and inaccurate accounts of their family life.
His family requested that fans only trust information shared directly by them or their official representatives, and not to spread anything else.
The message ended with a thank you for everyone’s support, asking them to continue keeping the family in their thoughts and prayers.
Norris’ family announced his death on March 20 in a statement to the late star’s Instagram account.
I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Chuck Norris yesterday morning. It’s a truly difficult time for his family, and my heart goes out to them. It was completely unexpected, and they’re understandably devastated.
They shared that while they prefer to keep the details personal, he passed away peacefully with his family by his side.
Those who knew him remembered him as a truly dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, as well as a wonderful brother and the central figure in their family.
They expressed deep sadness about his passing, but also shared their appreciation for his life and the wonderful memories they created together.
Tributes flooded in from fans and celebrities as the news of his shock passing came to light.
As a lifestyle expert, I’ve seen so many people touched by Chuck Norris’ incredible life and work. It was truly heartwarming to see legends like Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, Priscilla Presley, and even Jean-Claude Van Damme take the time to reflect on his legacy – it really speaks volumes about the impact he’s had.
President Trump responded to the news of the actor’s passing at the White House, describing him as both strong and a good person.
Dakota and Danilee Norris, the 24-year-old twins of the late Chuck Norris, each posted heartfelt messages honoring their ‘amazing’ father.
He welcomed his two youngest children with wife Gena O’Kelley.
He is survived by his sons, Mike, age 63, and Eric, age 60, from his marriage to Diane Holechek. He also discovered later in life that he had a daughter, Dina, age 61, from a past relationship.
In a heartfelt tribute, Dakota described Norris as both the best father anyone could ask for and an exceptional person.
He shared how incredibly proud he was to be his son, and fondly remembered the moments they shared.
Thank you for all your love and support, and for being such a wonderful role model. I hope to live a life that would make you proud, and I’ll always cherish your memory. I love you, Dad, and I’ll miss you terribly.
Oh my gosh, Danilee shared something so raw and real on Instagram. She said losing a parent just completely blindsides you – like, you can never truly prepare for that kind of pain. It just broke my heart to read it, honestly. She’s so brave for sharing, and it really resonated with me.
She then reflected on her ‘sweet dad’ and ‘the amazing man he is.’
Danilee shared how thankful she is for her father, Norris, and vowed to continue his kind and caring spirit by spreading compassion to others, just as he always did.
She later said that her father’s love for her ‘made me learn to love myself.
I’ll always do my best to make you proud, even though you often told me it felt impossible. I love you always and forever. Love, Danilee.
Norris posted his last video on Instagram only a few days before he passed away on March 10th, which also happened to be his 86th birthday.
A martial artist was spotted boxing outdoors while exercising, and playfully told his fans, ‘I don’t get older, I just get better!’
Oh my gosh, he turned 86 today! And can you believe he says being active and enjoying the sunshine makes him feel young? It’s just… amazing. He’s so grateful for another year of good health and getting to keep doing what he loves, and honestly, it makes me feel good just hearing him say it! He’s an inspiration, truly.
I want to thank all of you – you’re truly the best fans anyone could ask for. Your support over the years has meant the world to me. All the best, Chuck Norris.
Throughout his acting career, Norris appeared in many popular films, including “The Way of the Dragon” (1972), “The Delta Force” (1986), and “The Expendables 2” (2012).
For nine seasons, from 1993 to 2001, I had the incredible experience of playing the lead role in the CBS series, Walker, Texas Ranger. It was a huge part of my life, and I’m so grateful for the journey!
Norris held black belts in karate, taekwondo, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and also Tang Soo Do.
