Flynt was a giant in the adult entertainment industry after Hustler, which he launched in 1974, skyrocketed in popularity.
The controversial publisher had been paralyzed from the waist down since 1978, when Joseph Paul Franklin attempted to assassinate him.
Franklin, an admitted white supremacist who was executed in 2013 after murdering an interracial couple, admitted that he shot Flynt because of a spread Hustler ran that featured a black man and a white woman.
