A heartbroken Eddie McGuire has paid tribute to TV star Duncan McKenzie-McHarg, describing his protégé as his 'sunny, optimistic friend' after his death in Los Angeles.

The former Channel Nine, Triple M and Stan sport reporter was found dead after falling from the top of a building in Downtown LA, according to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.

Official records show his body was found on a roof.

McKenzie-McHarg began his media career in January 2010 as a reporter for Triple M's Hot Breakfast with McGuire, and remained with the station for almost three years.

'Like everyone who was exposed to the sunny, optimistic, quirky joy of our friend and colleague Duncan McKenzie-McHarg, the news was heartbreaking and devastating,' McGuire said in a statement.

'That he turned his natural happy and kind disposition into a skill set that disarmed the world's biggest stars and built his international career from scratch brought great admiration from his old mates.

'Our deepest condolences to Duncan's family and friends. We are all so sad.'

McKenzie-McHarg previously said he was inspired to become a sports presenter after watching his idol McGuire present on TV.

'I loved how the reporters on TV got to talk about sport, almost in a performative way,' he told Radio Today in 2023.

'Eddie was so quick and versatile,' he continued.

'Funny, but could also deliver serious news.'

Stan also paid tribute to McKenzie-McHarg.

'We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Duncan McKenzie-McHarg. Duncan was a valued contributor to Stan Sport, and our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time,' a Stan spokesperson said.

After moving on from Triple M, the talented reporter worked as a presenter for both Channel Seven and Channel Ten, before becoming the US correspondent for Fox Sports Australia in 2017, remaining with them until May 2022.

In August 2022, he accepted his dream role as a Los Angeles-based sports presenter with Stan, a role he remained in until his tragic passing.

Some of the A-listers he worked with include Australian tennis star Todd Woodbridge and US athlete Madison Keys.

During his time in the role, he interviewed many world-famous stars including Shaquille O'Neal, Tom Brady, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.

His sudden passing has left a profound sense of loss within both the Australian and US sports communities.

He was renowned for his enthusiastic and engaging presenting style, through which he developed a rapport with some of the world's most renowned athletes.

Fans have taken to social media to pay tribute to Duncan.

'RIP Duncan. We all love you so much,' one heartbroken fan wrote.

'Why, just why?' a second asked.
