We’re looking back at the notable public figures we’ve lost so far in 2025, from Hollywood icons to other influential stars.

2025 began on a difficult note. Toward the end of 2024, the world lost several notable figures, including former President Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100 just two days before the new year. Additionally, Linda Lavin and Jocelyn Wildenstein also died shortly before the start of 2025.
