Will Smith's father Willard Carroll Smith Sr has died.

The 48-year-old actor's ex-wife Sheree Fletcher - who he was married to from 1992 to 1995 - confirmed the passing of Willard Carroll Smith, Sr., on Monday.

Posting a picture of Will and his father along with Will and Sheree's son Trey, 23, she paid a touching tribute, while Will is yet to confirm the news himself.

She wrote on Instagram: 'We're gonna miss you Daddio! You lived & played by your own rules...

'You truly were 1 of a kind! You instilled discipline, and a work ethic that has created a legacy in your honor!'

The picture shows Hollywood actor Will on the right of his father, and 23-year-old Try in the middle. 

Will also has two children Jaden, 18, and Willow, 16, with his second wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Willard was a refrigeration engineer and a former member of the US Air Force. 

In the book Will Smith: A Biography, it claims Will's dad put him off doing drugs when he was younger by driving him to tough neighbourhoods in Philadelphia to show him what it was like for people on such substances.

On the fear of his father if he ever took drugs, he is quoted as saying: 'I felt my father would kill me. Literally.' 

Will has also previously praised his dad as a 'steady and positive figure' in his life. He once said: 'Dad was tough but not tyrannical. 

'He kept me in line. He'd get this look that said, 'One more step, Will, and it'll get ugly. 'He was an independent businessman - he set up refrigeration in supermarkets - and he always provided for us. He's a steady and positive figure in my life.'

ARE WILL SMITH AND JADA PINKETT SMITH UNDER INVESTIGATION

Are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith under investigation by child protection services over that Willow Smith picture

According to RadarOnline, Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith are under investigation by the child protection services over a picture of their 13-year-old daughter Willow Smith lying on a bed with her friend, Moises Arias, 20.
The black and white photo, which appeared on social media two weeks ago and has now been taken down, shows former Hannah Montana star Moises slouched on a bed shirtless, while Willow lies clothed in front of him.
Now it’s been reported that the Los Angeles Department of Children And Family Services has launched a probe.
RadarOnline claims the investigation was launched last week and that Will, 45, and 42-year-old Jada have been 'extremely cooperative’.

A source told the website: “Social workers will also be talking separately with Willow, and they also want to talk to the young man in the picture with her as well.  
“This won’t just be one or two visits with the family, and it will likely be an open investigation for at least a month, out of an abundance of caution.”
Will and Jada have not made any comment about an investigation. But when asked about the photo, Jada lashed out as she arrived at Los Angeles Internation Airport on 7 May.
Speaking in a video on TMZ she said: “Here's the deal. There was nothing sexual about that picture of that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it … and your acting like covert paedophiles and that's not cool.”

On the same day Willow's brother Jaden Smith, 15, made a show of solidarity to his sister when he was spotted out and about with Moises.
