Curb Your Enthusiasm star Bob Einstein has tragically died at the age of 76.
The actor passed away at his home in California not long after he was diagnosed with cancer, reports Deadline.
Einstein, best known for playing Marty Funkhouser on the Larry David sitcom, appeared in Curb Your Enthusiasm from 2004 to its most recent season.
The Emmy-award winning star was also a writer for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour and Van Dyke and Company.
I’m in shock.

I knew him forever. ♥️to his loved ones. His long career is hard to match. His role on #curbyourenthusiasm was excruciatingly brilliant! Our cast and crew will be devastated.
He was so loved. He told me how much he loved LD and Curb. RIP buddy. @HBO pic.twitter.com/G8f5PoffuF
