Longtime KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, a larger-than-life figure in Los Angeles television, has died suddenly at the age of 64.
Rubin’s colleague Frank Buckley announced the news on-air Friday.
“We have some news from the KTLA family, which is shocking and hard to comprehend at the moment. We have the profoundly sad duty to report that our friend and colleague Sam Rubin has died,” Buckley said. “Our hearts, as you can imagine, are broken. Quite simply, Sam was KTLA.”
