Burns, who was also known for his countless plastic surgeries, was last seen in public on an episode of the show “Celebrity Botched Up Bodies.”

He once said he had lost count of all the times he had gone under the knife.

“The number of surgeries I’ve has is probably 300,” Burns said. “I hope when I’m 80 and I get to heaven, God doesn’t recognize me.”
