In a statement, Cooper Hefner, Playboy Enterprises' chief creative officer and Hugh's son said, “My father lived an exceptional and impactful life as a media and cultural pioneer and a leading voice behind some of the most significant social and cultural movements of our time in advocating free speech, civil rights and sexual freedom.”

Hefner was survived by his wife, Crystal, his sons, Cooper, David and Marston, and his daughter, Christie.
