"To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to.”
The photos of the family event, which was hosted by Kirk, were posted on Instagram by his 40-year-old grandson Cameron, who is the son of 74-year-old movie star Michael Douglas
The Spartacus star posed for photos with his wife Anne, 100 at the time, his sons Michael, 74, Joel, 72, and Peter, 63, along with their extended family including Michael’s wife Catherine Zeta Jones, and great-grand child Lua.
Cameron Douglas captioned the photo of the 14 members on Instagram with: “#Familyfirst”
Anne, who turned 100 last April, married Kirk in 1954 after he divorced first wife Maria Webster.
Their marriage had produced two sons - Michael Douglas and film producer Joel Douglas before Kirk and Anne had two sons together- Peter, a producer, and Eric, an actor who died in 2004 from an overdose of alcohol and drugs.
The photos has become even more poignant after the passing of Kirk.
In the statement shared by Michael, he continued to pay tribute to his centenarian father: “But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply Dad, to Catherine, a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchild their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband.”
“Kirk’s life was well lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet.
"I can’t condone his behaviour. I think the court recognised his drug addiction as well as the crime that he committed and it’s an adequate, I think, amount of time for anybody to spend in jail.
And the best part of it is, he will be able to start his life afresh.”
Cameron Douglas was released early from prison on 1 August, 2016.
