Playboy Enterprises announced earlier yesterday that Hugh Hefner had passed away of natural causes at the Playboy Mansion. He was 91 years old.
His son, Cooper Hefner, paid tribute to his father when he said that Hefner would be "greatly missed by many". He also hailed his dad for his "exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer", calling him a huge advocate for not only sexual freedom, but for civil rights and free speech as well.
