Family sources tell us the mogul passed Wednesday morning in Los Angeles from heart failure.
For nearly 50 years, Flynt's been one of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry. He launched "Hustler" magazine in 1974, which brought him fame and fortune as it skyrocketed in popularity ... and also brought countless legal issues.
Many of these First Amendment battles were chronicled in the Oscar-nominated 1996 film, "The People vs. Larry Flynt," starring Woody Harrelson.
Getty Flynt's magazine and notoriety also led to him being shot in 1978 in a murder attempt by serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin. The shooting left Larry paralyzed from the waist down and confined to a wheelchair, and he suffered from constant pain and other medical issues as a result.
Along with being the name behind the Hustler brand, Flynt's the president of Larry Flynt Publications ... which produces other magazines like "Barely Legal," pornographic videos and Hustler TV.
He also opened the famous Hustler Casino near L.A. in 2000.

Good riddance. I hope he repented.
Finally!
“He launched “Hustler” magazine in 1974, which brought him fame and fortune as it skyrocketed in popularity...”
I can’t say I didn’t look at it when I was a young man. Aside from the primary reason, it also had some hilarious cartoons.
He was a bad man no question
May God have mercy
He was nasty before that but I think losing his Johnson abilities made him worse
I will give him that
The rest is may god have mercy
His deceased wife Althea was a basket case too
I knew someone who knew him
He duck hunted our camp....I just thought he made women look garish
I preferred Guccikne gauze
Of Hefs girl next door pert looks
Both more appealing ways to photograph nude beauties
Passed what?
He offered 10 million bucks to anyone who could provide info leading to Trump’s impeachment.
Not sure if he ever paid up.
Agreed. His one-handed magazine was basically gutter trash. Hefner was First Class.
Larry was a Grade A douche bag. I’m assuming he is burning in hell.
