Beloved Father of the Bride director and Oscar-nominated writer, Charles Shyer died on Dec. 27 following a brief illness his daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 83.
A day later, Meyers-Shyer shared a throwback photo of Shyer on her Instagram Stories, alongside a heartfelt message. “1941-2024 🤍 A complete original,” she wrote.
Shyer and ex-wife Nancy Meyers welcomed daughter Annie Meyers-Shyer in July 1980, followed by Hallie in July 1987. The late star was also a father to daughter Sophia Shyer and son Jacob Shyer.
“It’s with an indescribably heavy heart that we share the news of our beloved father Charles Shyer’s passing,” the Meyers-Shyer family said in a statement to Deadline,
“His loss leaves an unfillable hole in our lives, but his legacy lives on through his children and the five decades of wonderful work he’s left behind,” they continued. “We honor the extraordinary life he led and know there will never be another quite like him.”
