\n\tChuck Norris<\/a>\u2019 family is urging everyone to not believe everything they see online regarding his death.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement shared in a story on Norris\u2019 official Instagram, the family criticized the AI-generated posts circulating about the actor following his death on March 19<\/a>. The martial arts champion and action star died suddenly in Hawaii after being hospitalized, his family\u00a0announced in a statement<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are aware that since Chuck\u2019s 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,\u201d the family wrote.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe statement continued: \u201cThese claims are entirely untrue. This includes fabricated reports of past medical issues, as well as false narratives surrounding family relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe kindly ask that you do not believe or share any information unless it comes directly from the Norris family or an official family representative,\u201d they ended their statement with. \u201cThank you for your understanding and for continuing to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe family did not specify which posts they were referring to. However, following Norris\u2019 death, AI photos claimed to be taken during Norris\u2019 funeral circulated online. In the\u00a0fake images<\/a>, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Bruce Willis, and Mel Gibson are shown gathered in front of the casket during an alleged memorial service for Norris.<\/p>\n

\n\tNorris, who found stardom after starring in 1980s action movies like\u00a0Missing in Action\u00a0and the long-running CBS drama\u00a0Walker, Texas Ranger,\u00a0died last month at the age of 86. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHe 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,\u201d the Norris family said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhile 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThey noted that though they \u201cwould like to keep the circumstances private\u201d Norris \u201cwas surrounded by his family and was at peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSurvivors include his second wife, Gena, whom he married in 1998, and his children, Mike, Dina, Eric (a stunt coordinator who also directed\u00a0Walker\u00a0episodes), Danilee and Dakota.<\/p>\n
