The entertainment industry has already had to say goodbye to several actors, singers, performers, creatives, executives and all-around industry legends this year.

The Hollywood Reporter is highlighting some of the most well-known names who have died in 2024, including Carl Weathers, Chita Rivera, Richard Lewis, Chance Perdomo and Toby Keith.

Weathers, who was best known for his role as boxer Apollo Creed in the first four Rocky films as well as roles in Predator, Happy Gilmore and The Mandalorian, died in his sleep at his home in Los Angeles in February. He was 76. “Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life,” his manager, Matt Luber, wrote at the time.

Rivera, who was a showstopping legend of Broadway for more than a half-century, died in January following a brief illness at age 91, her daughter, Lisa Mordente, said in a statement to THR.

Lewis was a self-deprecating comedian who made his way from stand-up to starring on Anything but Love and Curb Your Enthusiasm. He died at his home in Los Angeles after suffering a heart attack in February, his publicist told THR at the time. He was 76.

Curb creator Larry David wrote in a statement following Lewis’ death, “Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital, and for most of my life he’s been like a brother to me. He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob, and for that I’ll never forgive him.”

Keith, a country music singer and songwriter, died in February at age 62 following a battle with stomach cancer. Some of his biggest hits included “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” “Who’s Your Daddy?,” “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” “Beer for My Horses” and “Made in America.”

Perdomo, who starred in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Gen V, died at age 27 as a result of a motorcycle accident. “His passion for the arts and insatiable appetite for life was felt by all who knew him, and his warmth will carry on in those who he loved dearest,” his rep wrote in a statement.
