President Donald Trump's younger brother Robert passed away Saturday, after being hospitalized in New York City. He was 71 years old.
"It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight. He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again. His memory will live on in my heart forever. Robert, I love you. Rest in peace," the President said in a statement.
President Trump had traveled to New York to see his brother on Friday. "I have a wonderful brother. We have a great relationship for a long time, from day one, so long time ago. And he's in the hospital right now," Trump said when asked about Robert prior to the trip."Hopefully he'll be alright, but he's—he's pretty—he's having a hard time."
Trump was not the only person to memorialize Robert publicly. On Saturday night Ivanka Trump posted about her uncle on Twitter, writing: "Uncle Robert, we love you. You are in our hearts and prayers, always."
Uncle Robert, we love you. You are in our hearts and prayers, always.

Robert's ex-wife Blaine Trump also shared a tribute on social media. "Always and always Robert....thank you for the wonderful memories, we had a great run until the painful ending. You will always have a place in my heart and Christopher’s," she wrote in the caption of a photo on Instagram. Christopher is Blaine's son, whom Robert helped to raise.
While funeral plans were not immediately shared publicly, the President is expected to attend.
