His family shared a statement on Gottfried’s Twitter account, confirming his passing after a battle with “a long illness.”

The statement does not indicate what illness Gottfried was suffering from, but encourages fans to “keep laughing as loud as possible in Gilbert’s honor.”

You might recognize Gottfried’s voice, as he lent his iconic vocal rasp to the character Iago from Disney’s Aladdin and continued to do so for sequels and other Disney productions.

Our thoughts are with Gilbert Gottfried’s family and loved ones at this time.
