Legendary Hollywood actor Val Kilmer has passed away at the age of 65. His daughter, Mercedes Kilmer, confirmed the news on Tuesday night. According to The New York Times, Kilmer died in Los Angeles after a long struggle with pneumonia.

Kilmer gained fame for his role in Top Gun and was well known for playing Jim Morrison in The Doors, Doc Holliday in Tombstone, and Batman in Batman Forever. He also starred in movies like Heat (1995), The Saint (1997), and Willow (1988). More recently, he made an appearance in Top Gun: Maverick.

During the 1990s, Kilmer was one of Hollywood’s top actors. However, reports of conflicts with directors and co-stars, along with some unsuccessful films, affected his career. He was known for being passionate, perfectionistic, and sometimes difficult to work with.

In 2014, Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer, but he later recovered. His passing marks the end of an era for Hollywood fans who admired his incredible performances over the years.
