Chuck Norris’ Family Urges Fans to Ignore Fake Death Stories

Chuck Norris’ family is speaking out after false reports and AI-generated posts about the action star’s death began circulating online. The family shared a statement on Norris’ official Instagram, asking fans not to trust unofficial sources.

The martial arts legend passed away on March 19 in Hawaii after being hospitalized. Since then, numerous online posts have appeared claiming to show details about his death and funeral. “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,” the family wrote.

They stressed that these claims are entirely false. “This includes fabricated reports of past medical issues, as well as false narratives surrounding family relationships,” they said. The family urged fans to only trust information directly from 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 misleading posts included AI images claiming to show famous actors like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Bruce Willis, and Mel Gibson at Norris’ funeral. These images were entirely fabricated.

Norris rose to fame in the 1980s with films like Missing in Action and later starred in the long-running CBS series Walker, Texas Ranger. He died at the age of 86. The family described him as a man of faith and purpose who inspired millions through his work and kindness. “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.

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