All the stars we lost in 2023

2023 has unfortunately already brought with it heartbreaking celebrity deaths. In February, we lost iconic actors Richard Belzer and Raquel Welch, South African rapper AKA and "Days of Our Lives" star Cody Longo. Meanwhile, January brought the loss of these beloved celebrities: iconic composer, songwriter and musician Burt Bacharach; Earth, Wind & Fire drummer Fred White; Three 6 Gangsta Boo mafia members; model Tatjana Patitz; legendary guitarist Jeff Beck; Elvis Presley's only daughter, Lisa Marie; and rock icon David Crosby.

Their deaths came just after the end of 2022 with some shocking celebrity deaths including those of legendary news anchor Barbara Walters, football legend Pelé, retired Pope Benedict XVI, Anita Pointer , a member of the Pointer Sisters, and Modest Mouse drummer Jeremiah Green.

In September 2022, the world was shaken by the loss of Queen Elizabeth II; before her death, she was the longest-serving monarch in British history. Hollywood also lost many stars far too soon in 2022, including "Full House" star Bob Saget and beloved comedian Leslie Jordan. The music world has been rocked by the death of rapper Migos Takeoff and PnB Rock.
