“We’re so proud of our extraordinary father…”

— A touching farewell from the Kilmer family

On April 1st, the world lost not just a Hollywood icon — but a beloved father, a warrior, and an unforgettable soul.

Val Kilmer, known for legendary roles in Top Gun, The Doors, and Batman Forever, passed away in Los Angeles at the age of 65. While fans around the globe mourned, it was his children — Mercedes (33) and Jack Kilmer (29) — who delivered the most heartbreaking tribute.

🚨MYSTERY REVEALED: Val Kilmer wore the legendary Batman mask one last time before passing away – you won’t be able to stop thinking about the significance of this moment in his life.

“Thank you for honoring the memory of our extraordinary father. We are so proud of him and humbled to see his legacy celebrated. At this time, we kindly ask to grieve in private,” they said in an official family statement.

The message wasn’t posted on Instagram or any social media profile.
Instead, it came through a direct statement to People Magazine, preserving the family’s grace, dignity, and privacy during their time of deep sorrow.

 Val Kilmer was more than a movie star.
To Mercedes and Jack, he was the dad who never stopped fighting — even after battling throat cancer, losing his voice, and transforming the pain into art, poetry, and love.

They stood by him. And now, they stand united — honoring him in the most heartfelt way possible.

 A Father. A Fighter. A Forever Legend.
Our thoughts are with the Kilmer family in this devastating moment.

Rest in peace, Val. Your legacy lives on — in film, in love, and in the hearts of your children.
