David Lynch, the stylish director behind mega-hits like Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and Eraserhead, has died. He was 78.

Variety reported the news today, citing a Facebook post from Lynch’s family announcing his death, which comes not long after the filmmaker shared that he had been diagnosed with emphysema.

“It is with deep regret that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole,'” the post shared. “It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.”
