The family of O.J. Simpson announced his death this afternoon at the age of 76.
The one-time NFL running-back was most infamously known for standing trial for the double-murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman, in the '90s.
The ordeal was coined the 'Trial of the Century' and the low-speed car chase across Los Angeles that led to his arrest is considered one of the most dramatic, shared experiences in live television history.
His family stated in a social media post that he was joined by his children and grandchildren at the time of his death.
The controversial sportsman was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, and had apparently been spending the last few months in hospice care.
His last post on Twitter came back in February, when he publicly backed his former team, the San Francisco 49ers, to win. In the video, Simpson can be seen seated in a lawn chair next to a swimming pool, wearing a 49ers jersey.
Following the announcement of his death, Caitlyn Jenner posted a brutal two-word response to the news.
Jenner's ex-wife Kris was a close friend of OJ's and his late wife Nicole.
Kris was also married to OJ's attorney Robert Kardashian Senior.
Taking to X in the immediate aftermath of the news, Jenner simply wrote: "Good riddance."
In the past Jenner has said that OJ "got away" with the murder of Nicole Simpson. Speaking on Big Brother VIP she said: "Obviously he did it and got away with it. At one point he even told Nicole 'I'll kill you and get away with because I'm OJ Simpson."
