Veteran American broadcaster Larry King is breathing on his own and has even video chatted with his three sons following his hospitalization for COVID-19, his spokesman said.

The broadcast legend, 87, was moved out of the ICU on New Year’s Eve 31st December 2020, according to David Theall, a spokesman for Ora Media, a production company formed by King.

“King, who has been hospitalized for more than a week at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, shared a video phone call with his children,” Theall said. “He required oxygen but can now breathe on his own” Theall added.

King’s family told CBS News in a statement that he “continues to improve. He and his sons thank everyone for the outpouring of support and can’t wait to get him home.

They also thank the medical workers and staff at Cedars-Sinai and hospitals elsewhere who are providing care to so many people under extraordinary circumstances.”.

The 87-year-old broadcasting legend has survived multiple health scares in the past. These include a heart attack, a stroke, prostate and lung cancer and diabetes. He spent his 87th birthday, in November 2020, hospitalized with a blood-flow issue.
