The 65-year-old actor, who died Tuesday from pneumonia, rose to stardom in the 1980s and was famed for his roles in films ranging from 'Top Gun' to 'Tombstone' to 'The Doors.'

The Hollywood star’s children have thanked friends, family and fans for “honoring our extraordinary father’s memory.”

Val Kilmer sought stardom but remained ambivalent about it, even as he was indelible in movies from "The Doors" to "Tombstone" to "Wonderland."

Actor Val Kilmer, 65, died of pneumonia this week, his daughter confirmed. Dr. Marc Siegel discusses common causes and risks of the respiratory virus.

A wide-ranging leading man who earned critical praise, he was known to be charismatic but unpredictable. At one point he dropped out of Hollywood for a decade.

Val Kilmer's kids are sharing a statement in the wake of the Hollywood legend's Tuesday death. Mercedes Kilmer, 33, and Jack Kilmer, 29, released a statement to People magazine Thursday mourning the "Top Gun" star's loss.

Charismatic and versatile, he also won praise for memorable roles as Iceman in 'Top Gun' and Doc Holliday in 'Tombstone,' but his unpredictable behavior ruffled some feathers in Hollywood.

"I trust he is somewhere idyllic now in Sun God robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at him," Martha Coolidge says

"I'm remembering Val Kilmer today with great admiration for him as a man and as a generational talent who left us an enviable legacy of indelible acting performances," Carrey said
