Elizabeth Taylor has died from congestive heart failure at the age of 79.
The legendary actress died Wednesday morning. She had been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Taylor’s son, Michael Wilding, issued a statement saying, “My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest with great passion, humor and love. Though her loss is devastating to those who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world, her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a business woman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV/Aids all make us incredibly proud of what she accomplished.”
Taylor is survived by four children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren.
