"&lt;img alt=\"0515-kurk-kerkorian-getty\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/05/15/0515-kurk-kerkorian-getty-3.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kirk Kerkorian&lt;/strong&gt; -- the billionaire mogul who once owned the MGM Hotel in Las Vegas and United Artists -- is MIA, in dire shape and needs court protection from those who are holding him hostage -- this according to allegations in new legal docs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 95-year-old Kerkorian hasn't been seen in public since June, 2012, according to his ex-wife and the mother of his 15-year-old daughter,&lt;strong&gt; Kira&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;#160; The ex, &lt;strong&gt;Lisa Kerkorian&lt;/strong&gt;, claims in legal docs the managers of Kerkorian's company, Tracinda Corp, have been controlling him and keeping him from his daughter for the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0515-lisa-kira-kerkorian-rob-rich\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/05/15/0515-lisa-kira-kerkorian-rob-rich-2.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And get this ... according to the docs, Kerkorian was a fixture for years at the legendary &lt;strong&gt;Polo Lounge &lt;/strong&gt;at the &lt;strong&gt;Beverly Hills Hotel&lt;/strong&gt; -- in fact, the Polo Lounge kept a table specifically for Kirk, but the table hasn't been occupied for months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa says their daughter hasn't had any contact with Kirk since 2008 and all attempted communications were thwarted by Kirk's handlers.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisa and Kirk were possibly in the nastiest celebrity divorce in Hollywood history, yet now Lisa has gone to court on behalf of her daughter to seek the appointment of a conservator to manage Kirk's affairs and pave the way to re-establish a relationship between Kirk and Kira.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The legal docs make it clear -- Lisa feels Kirk could be at death's door and Kira wants to see him before he passes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And one more twist ... Kira isn't even Kirk's biological daughter, but he raised her as his own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A rep for Tracinda tells TMZ, \"There are no facts to support Bonder&amp;#8217;s claims and therefore no merit whatsoever to the allegations she has made.&amp;#8221;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
