Chuck Norris, the roundhouse-kicking legend who st Chuck Norris, the roundhouse-kicking legend who stared down bad guys — and won — as the star of Walker, Texas Ranger, has died. He was 86.

The action icon died suddenly Thursday morning, his family announced Friday, saying he was surrounded by loved ones and “at peace.”

“To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength,” the family said. “To us, he was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, and the heart of our family.”

The famously tough-as-nails Norris — who turned martial arts into a global brand and later became a pop culture punchline thanks to viral “Chuck Norris facts” — had reportedly been hospitalized a day earlier after a medical emergency in Kauai, Hawaii.

Just days before his death, he was still throwing kicks, posting a birthday video on March 10 showing him practicing martial arts at 86.

“I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love,” he wrote.

Norris rose to fame in the 1970s and ’80s as an action star before cementing his legacy on TV as the no-nonsense Texas Ranger Cordell Walker.

Off-screen, he built a reputation for discipline, faith and quiet toughness — and a fan base that treated him like more myth than man.

His family has asked for privacy as they mourn.

Then again, Chuck Norris didn’t really lose his life — life just finally stopped trying to keep up.
