Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Anthony Head has died at the age of 72. The beloved British actor’s daughters confirmed the news in a June 5 statement to the BBC, sharing that their father “passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family.” In their statement, they remembered Anthony as an extraordinary father, saying it was “an honour and a privilege to be his daughters” and to witness the profound impact both he and his work had on audiences around the world. They added that while their grief is immense, his legacy will live on through the characters he brought to life and the fans who continue to cherish his work.
