Rick Harrison memorialized his son in a brief Instagram post after his death was reported on Friday. Harrison shared a photo of his son, Adam, and himself at a restaurant.
Adam Harrison, the son of "Pawn Stars" creator and star Rick Harrison has died at 39 years old, according to CBS affiliate KLAS.
"You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam," Harrison wrote, alongside a broken-heart emoji.
The post drew tributes from stars including from Donald Trump, Jr.
"I'm so sorry man," the son of former president Donald Trump wrote. Rick Harrison appeared at a get-out-the-vote rally for Trump in Las Vegas in 2016.
Corey Harrison, Adam's older brother, shared a childhood photo of the two of them in a bathtub.
"I will always love you bubba," he wrote.
KLAS said that they obtained a statement from the Harrison family saying that they were "extremely saddened by the death of Adam." Laura Herlovich, a Harrison press representative confirmed to the Las Vegas Review-Journal that Harrison's death was from an overdose. The family asked for privacy as they grieve.
