US actor and playwright Sam Shepard has died at the age of 73, according to US media.

Shepard wrote more than 40 plays and won the Pulitzer Prize for drama for Buried Child in 1979.

He went on to be Oscar-nominated for 1983 film The Right Stuff and starred in films like Black Hawk Down as well as co-writing 1984's Paris, Texas.

He died at home in Kentucky on Thursday, his family told The New York Times.

His first major film role was in Terrence Malik's Days of Heaven in 1978, in which he starred alongside Richard Gere.

Shepard also appears in psychological thriller Never Here, which had its premiere last month.
