Former Fox News executive Roger Ailes has died. His wife of nearly 20 years, Elizabeth Ailes, released a statement Thursday confirming the broadcast magnate's death to the Drudge Report.

"I am profoundly sad and heartbroken to report that my husband, Roger Ailes, passed away this morning. Roger was a loving husband to me, to his son Zachary and a loyal friend to many. He was also a patriot, profoundly grateful to live in a country that gave him so much opportunity to work hard, to rise and to give back. During a career that stretched over more than five decades, his work in entertainment, in politics and in news affected the lives of many millions. And so even as we mourn his death, we celebrate his life," Elizabeth Ailes said.

Roger Ailes celebrated his 77th birthday on Monday just days before his death. No cause of death was given.

A former NBC news executive, Elizabeth Ailes (maiden name Elizabeth Tilson) married Roger in 1998, just two years after he became the founding CEO of Fox News. He had been married twice before, to Marjorie White and Norma Ferrer.
