Hugh Hefner

Late last year, Playboy's controversial founder Hugh Hefner passed away at 91.

Part of his legacy could include, somewhere, a record of the crimes of the world's most infamous octegenerian: Bill Cosby.

Following the private funeral of Hugh Hefner last weekend, the Playboy founder's death certificate has confirmed the cause of his demise.

Hefner was buried in Los Angeles after passing away last month at the age of 91. As you'd expect, many factors contributed to this.

In the wake of Hugh Hefner's death, nearly everyone that was close to the Playboy founder issued some kind of sorrowful statement.

Nearly everyone except the woman married to him, that is.

Last week, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner died. He was 91.

He was an intensely controversial man, but he had no shortage of admirers.

When the news first broke that Hugh Hefner had died, our first thought was to wonder what Kendra Wilkinson had to say. 

Our second thought was of Holly Madison and her long, very complicated history with Hef.

As noted in the slideshow below, a host of celebrities have gathered on social media to say goodbye to Hugh Hefner.

The Playboy founder, who died this week at the age of 91, came into contact at various points with nearly everyone in Hollywood, while helping to shape the careers of such stars as Kim Kardashian, Kendra Wilkinson and Pamela Anderson.

As you've likely heard by now, iconic Playboy founder Hugh Hefner passed away last night at the age of 91.

Sources say Hef, as he was known to so many, passed peacefully, at home in his famous mansion, surrounded by loved ones.

As we all learned either late last night or early this morning, Hugh Hefner has passed away. Overall reactions could not be more mixed, but the man was a legend and has left a lasting legacy on American culture.

The very first thing that crossed our minds when we heard the news was: What has Kendra Wilkinson said?

Hugh Hefner, the magazine mogul who brought sex to the newsstands in the 1950s and went on to embody the archetypal male fantasy, has passed away at the age of 91.  

According to a statement issued by his publicist, Hefner passed peacefully at his famous Holmby Hills mansion Wednesday evening.

Kendra Wilkinson is not the type of celebrity to forget her roots. 

After becoming a hit with viewers as one of Hugh Hefner's three girlfriends on The Girls Next Door, the reality TV star took to Instagram to wish Hefner a happy birthday, while thanking him for being the person to get her to where she is today.
