American actor Ryan O'Neal, best known for his Oscar-nominated role in 1970 romance Love Story, has died at the age of 82, his son said.

His family did not share a cause of death, but O'Neal was diagnosed with chronic leukaemia in 2001 and prostate cancer in 2012.

He also starred in 1970s hits What's Up, Doc?, Paper Moon and A Bridge Too Far.

His son said his father was "a Hollywood legend. Full stop."

"My dad passed away peacefully today, with his loving team by his side supporting him," Patrick O'Neal wrote on Instagram on Friday.

He added that his father had always been his hero.
