“The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great it cannot be quantified in words alone,” read the statement from Debora, Geoffrey and Christian. “Our thoughts must now turn to supporting Kristina [his wife] at this difficult time.”

Moore reportedly died in Switzerland and will have a private funeral in Monaco. During his lifetime, he was the star of some of the most iconic films in the James Bond franchise, including “Live and Let Die” and “The Spy Who Loved Me.”

Rest in peace, Sir Roger Moore!
