Chamberlain died late on Saturday in Hawaii from complications from a stroke, publicist Harlan Boll said in a statement on Sunday.
Chamberlain was an instant hit, and became a teen idol, as the handsome Dr James Kildare in the series that ran from 1961 – 1966.
Martin Rabbett, Chamberlain’s longtime partner, said in a statement: “Our beloved Richard is with the angels now.
“He is free and soaring to those loved ones before us. How blessed were we to have known such an amazing and loving soul.
“Love never dies. And our love is under his wings lifting him to his next great adventure.”
