Pioneering US TV broadcaster Barbara Walters has died aged 93 after a career spanning half a century.

In 1976, she became The First US female network news anchor when she joined Abc News .

Walters - Born in Boston at the outset of The Great Depression in 1929 - won 12 Emmy awards.

" Barbara Walters Passed Away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones, " said publicist Cindi Berger in a statement on Friday Night .

" She lived her life with No Regrets . She was a trailblazer not only for female journalists, but for all women. "

The showbusiness booking agent's daughter began her career in journalism in 1961 with NBC, where she became a segment producer of women's interest stories.

She rose through the ranks of the male-dominated industry to make history in 1974 by becoming The First female co-host of a US news programme, on NBC's morning-time Today Show.

" I have been blessed with A Life I never expected, " Walters said back in 2000 as she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
