Longtime talk show host Larry King said Saturday that two of his children have died within roughly three weeks of each other.

"Both of them were good and kind souls and they will be greatly missed," he wrote.
"Losing them feels so out of order. No parent should have to bury a child," King said. "My family and I thank you for your outpouring of kind sentiments and well wishes. In this moment, we need a little time and privacy to heal. I thank you for respecting that."
Both children were from King's 1961 marriage to Alene Atkins. The

Getting interviewed by Larry was like playing the palace. Rest in peace, Mr. King.
