Only half the year has gone by, and we have already bid farewell to some of the biggest names in music, sports, entertainment, and more.
From an Oscar-winner found lifeless in a house with three bodies, to a child star who was pregnant at the time of her passing, to a musician who lost his life in a plane crash, there were grim details to some of this year’s celebrity losses.
These are the stars we lost in the first seven months of 2025.

#32 Phil Robertson
Phil Robertson’s family announced on May 25 that the reality TV star had “gone to be with the Lord.”
The ‘Duck Dynasty’ star’s passing took place months after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (a brain disorder that results in memory loss).
“He will be missed but we know he is in good hands, and our family is good because God is very good! We will see him again!” his son Jase Robertson said at the time.
Jase spoke about the patriarch's diagnosis last December.
“According to the doctors, they’re sure that he has some sort of blood disease that’s causing all kinds of problems,” he said on the Unashamed with the Robertson Family podcast. “It’s accelerated and it’s causing problems with his entire body.”
Phil was also in the “early stages” of Alzheimer’s and was “really struggling,” Jase added at the time.

#33 Hulk Hogan
The wrestling world lost legend Hulk Hogan this week.
The icon, whose real name was Terry Bollea, suffered a cardiac arrest and lost his life at the age of 71.
The passing came on the heels of his wife Sky slamming rumors about him being in a coma.
“He’s definitely not in a coma! His heart is strong, and there was never any lack of oxygen or brain damage… none of those rumors are true,” she said this month in response to recent speculation about his health.
