Legendary and longtime host of “The Price is Right” Bob Barker passed away Saturday in his Los Angeles home at age 99. 

Barker's representative told TMZ that Barker died of natural causes.

The show host won 15 Emmy awards and received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1976. 

He was also very well known for his animal rights activism.

“I think that it would be nice if people remembered me as a guy who loved all living things and did as much as he could to make ours a better world for animals — and also did quite a few television shows,” Barker said in a 2007 interview. 

He hosted “The Bob Barker Show,” for six years, “Truth or Consequences," for 21 years and is most well known for hosting "The Price is Right."
