The British star, who played 007 in seven films, died in Switzerland
after a short battle with cancer, Moore's children said on his social
media accounts.
"It is with a heavy heart that we must announce our loving father,
Sir Roger Moore, has passed away today in Switzerland after a short but
brave battle with cancer," Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian Moore wrote.
"The love with which he was surrounded in his final days was so great
it cannot be quantified in words alone," the trio added. "Thank you
Pops for being you, and for being so very special to so many people."
Moore shared Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian with his third wife,
Italian actress Luisa Mattoli. He is also survived by wife Kristina
Tholstrup, whom he married in 2002.
"Our thoughts must now turn to supporting Kristina at this difficult
time, and in accordance with our father's wishes there will be a private
funeral in Monaco," the actor's children said. Moore first played James Bond in Live and Let Die (1973), and last portrayed the character in A View to Kill (1985). He later appeared in The Man Who Wouldn't Die, Spice World and Boat Trip, and was also known for his humanitarian work with UNICEF.
