EXCLUSIVE

Actor Conrad Bain -- who famously played father figure Phillip Drummond on "Diff'rent Strokes" -- has passed away. He was 89.

Bain family sources tell TMZ, Bain died Monday night in Livermore, CA. So far, details surrounding his death are unclear.

We spoke with Bain's daughter Jennifer who tells us, "He was an amazing person. He was a lot like Mr. Drummond, but much more interesting in real life. He was an amazing father."

Bain -- who became a household name starring opposite Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges on the iconic 80s series -- is survived by his three sons and one daughter. He also has a surviving twin brother Bonar Bain.

Bain's daughter says he spent his last few days with his family. Bain would have turned 90 on February 4th.

I honestly didn't know he was still alive. I'd have guessed him as dead. But I was still sorry to hear about his death.

Liked the quote from his daughter about him being more interesting than Mr. Drummond.

Interesting name his brother has there. And I thought I got teased about my name as a kid.

RIP, Mr. Drummond.
