The announcement of Gottfried's death came from his family via Twitter. "We are heartbroken to announce the passing of our beloved Gilbert Gottfried after a long illness," the post read.
Gottfried's family went on to call Gottfried an iconic voice in comedy, before concluding, "Gilbert was a wonderful husband, brother, friend and father to his two young children ... [T]oday is a sad day for all of us."
