CBS has the report.
"My father passed away very peacefully last night at the fantastic age of 86 years old... He kept moving, working and making us happy until the very end. We loved him so very much! We will miss him forever."
- Hope, Fred's daughter.

Fred portrayed Phil Dunphy's dad, Frank, on Modern Family. Fred also portrayed Ed Harken, Ron Burgundy's boss, in the Anchorman movies. Simply put, Fred Willard has been around media for majority of his life, may it be live-action and/or animated projects.

His last role would be in an upcoming Netflix comedy, Space Force, on 5/29/20. Steve Carrell, said show's creator and leading actor, gave his utmost respect to Fred.

Rest in peace, good man.
