HOLLYWOOD icon Zsa Zsa Gabor’s adopted son has died following a road smash on the same day the star lost her own life at the age of 99.
Oliver Prinz von Anhalt, adopted by Zsa Zsa with ninth husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, died following a motorcycle accident on Mulholland Drive, Los Angeles on December 18.
The 45-year-old son of Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt was critically injured in the accident in Los Angeles on December 18, the very same day that Zsa Zsa passed away at home at the age of 99.
He reportedly lost his life on Christmas Day after being struck by a car the Sunday before.
Oliver had been knocked unconscious and remained in a coma for a week, reports TMZ.
It is unknown if he was ever aware of the tragic news of his adoptive mum’s passing.
But his father reportedly knew nothing of his accident until the coroner contacted him on Boxing Day.
He told the showbiz news site he thought his adopted son was away in Germany.
Oiver was reportedly in a car accident a week before Christmas Day
Oliver’s brother Prinz Marcus von Anhalt paid tribute to Oliver, writing: “RIP Prince Oliver Leopold von Anhalt (my Brother)
Rest In Peace? Nein!! Live the Afterlife in the fullest, like you did before.
“We had some good times and experienced a lot together – memories are the most precious!!
“Prince Oliver of Anhalt, My brother!!! You will stay forever in my heart. I can’t understand the world!!! Why???”
Oliver, a well-known socialite in LA, was one of several adult men who bought their royal titles from Zsa Zsa’s husband through adoption.
Frederic Von Anhalt, formerly known as Hans Georg Robert Lichtenberg, changed his own name after paying Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt to adopt him when he was an adult.
According to the Associated Press, von Anhalt acknowledged making millions of dollars by passing the family title to at least 10 other people.
“If someone offers you $2 million, you do it,” von Anhalt reportedly said.
The legendary Hungarian actress suffered a heart attack and passed away after years of health troubles, just two months shy of her 100th birthday.

According to German site Bild - who was the first to report Oliver's death - Frederic had disinherited his late adopted son in 2010. It is not reported why.
Oliver had moved to the US 20 years ago and was living in Beverly Hills.
His mansion is currently on the market for $4.795 million (£3.8m).
It's now been revealed Zsa Zsa suffered a cerebrovascular accident (also known as a stroke), and then fell into a coma where she went into cardiopulmonary arrest.
Medical documents also state coronary artery disease and cerebral vascular disease played contributing factors in her death.
Her husband Frederic cared for her in the later years.
Her publicist has confirmed she passed away at her Bel Air mansion after spending the last five years on life support.
She is survived by husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, while her only natural child, daughter Francesca Hilton, to second husband Conrad Hilton, died in January 2015.
Starring in films such as Moulin Rouge, The Girl in the Kremlin and Queen of Outer Space, she span the gamut of Hollywood from A-list star to B-movie queen.
