Hollywood action star Chuck Norris has died aged 86, his family says.

Norris, best known for playing Cordell "Cord" Walker in the long-running television series Walker, Texas Ranger, died "at peace" on Thursday, surrounded by his family - read their statement.

"He may have a warrior exterior, but his heart was so full of love," his daughter Danilee says.

Born in Oklahoma in 1940, he served in the US Air Force before rising to fame as a martial arts star and later secured his big screen break alongside Bruce Lee in 1972's Way Of The Dragon.

Norris was the real deal, and he utilised his expertise in martial arts to help him launch a decades-long screen career, writes the BBC's entertainment reporter

Norris also featured in a range of memes that made light of Norris' tough-guy image, one shows a picture of his face with the slogan "in an emergency, 911 calls him".
