David Lynch, the surrealist artist who plumbed the darkness lurking underneath American normalcy in the landmark television series "Twin Peaks" and the dreamlike films "Blue Velvet" and "Mulholland Drive," has died.

He was 78.

Lynch's family confirmed his death in a post on his official Facebook page. They did not specify a cause of death. He revealed last year that he had been diagnosed with emphysema, a chronic lung condition that causes shortness of breath.

"It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch," the post said. "We would appreciate some privacy at this time."

"There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us," Lynch's family added. "But, as he would say, 'Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.' It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way."
