Our love goes out to Natalie and their 3 incredible daughters Edie, Ines and Bunny.”

On Tuesday, Bill’s family confirmed the news of his death on Instagram account.
The statement read, “It is with great sadness that the family of Bill Granger announce he has passed away on 25th December at the age of 54. A dedicated husband and father, Bill died peacefully in hospital with his wife Natalie Elliott and three daughters, Edie, Inès and Bunny, at his bedside in their adopted home of London.”
Bill had three beautiful daughters Edie, Inès and Bunny with his wife Natalie Elliott.
The late Australian native was a self-taught cook who became a celebrated global restaurateur and food writer with a career spanning over 30 years.
In 1999, he and his wife started a professional partnership that launched the business globally.
“He will be remembered as the ‘King of Breakfast’, for making unpretentious food into something special filled with sunshine and for spurring the growth of Australian informal and communal eating around the world. He will be deeply missed by all, with his loss most profoundly felt by his adored family, who are grateful for all the love and support that has been given,” the post concluded.
