The legendary actor and martial artist had remained active on Instagram, sharing moments from his life with fans, including throwback photos from his past projects and films.

However, today it was announced that Norris passed away after being hospitalised following a medical emergency in Hawaii.

The circumstances surrounding his death are yet unknown, and the details have not been made public as of yet.

On March 10, the actor commemorated his birthday by posting a video to his Instagram.

In the video, you can see Norris sparring with a partner as he tells the camera: “I don’t age. I level up.”

In the caption, he said he was ‘grateful’ for his ‘good health’ and ‘another year’ of life, writing: “I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love. Thank you all for being the best fans in the world. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know.”

Sadly, the legendary actor passed away less than 10 days later.

Following news of his death, fans continued the long-running meme portraying Norris as someone who answers to no one, with one person commenting under his final post: "He didn't die, he told death he was coming."

Just last week, someone else wrote: “Chuck Norris doesn’t blow out his candles. He suffocates them with the weight of his stare.”
