Tim Conway (shown above left, beside actress Carol Burnett) passed away on Tuesday morning in Los Angeles, California, after a long illness. Howard Bragman, his rep, shared the news with various media outlets.

He was 85.

Conway is survived by his wife of 35 years, his stepdaughter, his six biological children and his two granddaughters, according to Fox8.com.

The longtime actor and comedian is best known for his work on the TV comedy ensemble program, “The Carol Burnett Show,” for which he won four Emmy Awards.

He was a staple of TV variety programs and comedy shows for roughly half a century.

He also won a Golden Globe Award and other accolades over the years.

His daughter, Kelly, told Fox News on Tuesday that her father is “at peace now.”

“The love he gave us, and the laughter he gave the world, will never be replaced, but will be remembered forever,” Kelly told Fox News. “He is at peace now but I will miss him every second of every day until we meet again in heaven.”

Carol Burnett herself, who worked closely with Conway for years, told Fox News, “I’m heartbroken. He was one in a million, not only as a brilliant comedian but as a loving human being. I cherish the times we had together both on the screen and off. He’ll be in my heart forever.”
