“Survivor” host Jeff Probst has lost a beloved member of his tribe.
One of the television personality’s brothers, Brent, announced via Instagram on Monday that their other brother, Scott, had died.
“Some sad news, our brother Scott is no longer with us,” Brent wrote. “He was a great brother, son and friend. I will miss him so much 
I’m so sad he is gone.”
A cause of death was not revealed.
Page Six has reached out to representatives for Jeff, but did not receive an immediate response.
According to his IMDb page, Scott previously worked with Jeff on ‘Survivor,’ working in the art department, the property department and the camera and electrical department in various roles between 2006 and 2012.
He also worked in video games, serving as production coordinator on 2003’s “Medal of Honor: Rising Sun” and as producer on 2005’s “Medal of Honor: European Assault” and 2010’s “Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight.”
This isn’t the only way “Survivor” has been a family affair over the years.
Brent’s daughter, Abigail, joined the “Dream Team” — the group of crew members who test the CBS reality show’s challenges and assist in various departments — in 2024 and is back for the landmark 50th season, currently airing.
“She kicks ass,” Jeff told People of Abigail’s efforts. “She came in with a last name that put a little bit of a spotlight on her, but she got the job on her own. She got asked back on her own.”
“And I know it’s a little weird because the last name is Probst, but had she not earned it, she wouldn’t be back,” he added.
Though Jeff rarely speaks about his family in interviews, he has opened up about how being raised in Kansas, before his family moved to Washington state when he was 15, influenced his life.
“I’ve lived in Seattle, New York and Los Angeles and traveled all over the world with ‘Survivor,’ but there is nowhere else I would have rather grown up than Wichita, Kansas,” he told the Topeka Capital-Journal in 2016.
“I had great friendships. I made great memories, and I was raised with strong values,” he added. “I choose to believe those early years gave me the foundation I would later need to withstand the challenges of Hollywood.”
“Survivor” paid tribute to Jeff’s mother, Barbara, after her death in 2024.
“Dedicated to Barb, the biggest ‘Survivor’ fan of all time,” an on-screen in memoriam read at the end of a Season 47 episode. “See you on our next adventure.”
In a tribute shared to Instagram at the time, Brent revealed their mother “had full-time care for dementia” over the past few years and “died one week before her 86th birthday.”
“She was the best mom, grandma and just a fantastic person full of love and life,” he wrote. “She had a great life and I am certain that I am a good person because she and my dad raised me with love and humor. I will miss her every single day for the rest of my life.”
