Charlie Murphy, esteemed comedian and actor, has died Wednesday morning (April 12) at age 57 according to TMZ. The reports came from his manager, who stated he lost his battle with leukemia. Publicist Domenick Nati later confirmed the news to The Hollywood Reporter. Murphy was allegedly going through chemotheraphy and passed away in a New York City hospital.

The Brooklyn native famously starred in classic films like Harlem Nights, Jungle Fever, The Players Club, Roll Bounce, The Perfect Holiday and more. His was most notable for his stint on Chappelle's Show from 2003-2006, where he was also a writer.
