Hollywood
is
mourning
the
loss
of
a
beloved
figure
in
entertainment
news.
KTLA
anchor Sam
Rubin
has died,
the
Los
Angeles-based
news
station
confirmed
on
May
10.
He
was
64.
“KTLA
5
is
profoundly
saddened
to
report
the
death
of
Sam
Rubin,”
read
a
statement
shared
on
X,
formerly
known
as
Twitter. “Sam
was
a
giant
in
the
local
news
industry
and
the
entertainment
world,
and
a
fixture
of
Los
Angeles
morning
television
for
decades.
His
laugh,
charm
and
caring
personality
touched
all
who
knew
him.”
Rubin’s manager Jamie
Gruttemeyer
also
confirmed
his
passing,
telling
E!
News
in
a
statement, “Morning
news
will
never
be
the
same.
I
think
we
all
feel
that
losing
Sam
is
like
losing
a
close
family
friend.
Someone
who
could
always
lift
your
spirits,
someone
who
was
welcome
in
your
home
and
always
showed
up
with
a
smile
on
his
face.
Sam
will
be
forever
missed.”
The

passed
away
after
suffering
a
heart
attack
at
his
home,
according
to
TMZ,
which

report
the
news.
