Seinfeld star Jerry Stiller has died at the age of 92 from natural causes, his son Ben Stiller has announced.

The comedian played George's cantankerous father Frank in Seinfeld and was also known for his role in The King of Queens in a career that spanned almost 70 years.

In the 1950s Stiller formed a comedy double act with his wife Anne Meara, who passed away in 2015.

In a post on Twitter, Ben paid tribute to his father, writing: "He was a great dad and grandfather, and the most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years. He will be greatly missed."

Stiller is survived by Ben, daughter Amy and Ben's two grandchildren.
