James Avery, who played Philip Banks–or Uncle Phil–on the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” died on New Year’s Eve.

He was 65.

“Fresh Prince” star Alfonso Ribeiro confirmed Avery’s death on Twitter.

“I’m deeply saddened to say that James Avery has passed away. He was a second father to me. I will miss him greatly,” he wrote.

The cause of death is unknown.

Sources told the TMZ website that he died in a Los Angeles-area hospital last night. He recently underwent surgery for an illness that was not disclosed.

His wife, Barbara, said that she was with Avery at his bedside on Tuesday night. When she went out to get something to eat, he had passed away, a source told the website.

On Twitter, people expressed their condolences.

“James Avery has passed away and I’m freaking devastated he was so amazing,” wrote one.

Another added: “R.I.P james avery you were one of the greats.”

Ah that's a massive shame, although to be honest for some reason I thought he died last year, must have been getting people mixed up. RIP.

Probably my all-time favourite tv-show, and his performances were always glorious. R.I.P., my favourite villain.
