The bearded bass player's death was announced by his bandmates of more than 50 years.
"We are saddened by the news today that our Compadre, Dusty Hill, has passed away in his sleep at home in Houston, TX," Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard said in a statement posted to the band's Instagram account.
"We, along with legions of ZZ Top fans around the world, will miss your steadfast presence, your good nature and enduring commitment to providing that monumental bottom to the 'Top'. We will forever be connected to that 'Blues Shuffle in C'."
They ended the note: "You will be missed greatly, amigo."
Hill's cause of death has not been announced.
The Missourian reported on Wednesday that a hip injury suffered last month would cause him to miss an August 7 show at the Washington Town & Country Fair, although the Texas band had planned to perform songs from its extensive catalog, which includes the 1975 rocker Tush and the 1983 hit Sharp Dressed Man with a different bass player.
The band last recorded new music in 2012.

Women who received the Pfizer vaccination are reporting an unexpected side effect, with claims that their boobs have grown up to two cup sizes larger!
In Australia, Pfizer is one of two COVID vaccination options being rolled out, with AstraZeneca the alternative.
Common side effects of the Pfizer vaccine include pain at the site of injection, headache, muscle ache and fatigue, however there's been a growing trend of women noticing 'swelling' in their breasts.
“at first i thought those ‘pfizer boob job’ memes were a joke but i don’t think it’s a joke anymore”

It's being dubbed the 'Pfizer boob job' but don't fret - there's a logical solution, with many simply confusing swollen lymph nodes in the region for boob growth.
It's also temporary, with the Australian Government Department of Health listing enlarged lymph nodes as a less common - but certainly possible - side effect of the vaccine.
"These side effects are usually mild and usually go away within one or two days. Some recipients will experience more significant flu-like symptoms from this vaccination compared to other common vaccinations and may require time away from normal activities. These symptoms may occur after either dose but are more common after the second dose."
Dr. Laura Esserman, the Director of UC San Francisco's Breast Care Centre, admits there's been an influx of calls from women who are mistaking the inflamed lymph nodes as a breast cancer scare.
Thankfully, it is usually nothing to worry about and swollen lymph glands "if you have an infection, are just doing their job."
Dr. Esserman continues, "In the case of a vaccine they are manufacturing the antibody for your body which is what you want."
Sorry ladies, the 'Pfizer boob job' might not be all you had hoped for.

Phillip Island's successful penguin parade livestream is making a comeback to help get millions of Australians through lockdown.
Over 112 nights in 2020 people could tune in to watch a parade of little penguins waddle to their burrows after a day of fishing.
The nightly livestreams began almost a year ago to help get Victorians through lockdown, but they ended up amassing 25 million viewers across 100 countries until the streams stopped on December 2020.
Now, with an estimated 13 million Australians back in lockdown, Live Penguin TV is making a comeback.
The penguin parade will be streamed every night from 6pm on Tuesday for "at least a couple of weeks", Phillip Island Nature Parks said.
Chief executive Catherine Basterfield said the park had received requests to bring back penguin TV from fans locked down in NSW, Victoria and South Australia.
"We were blown away by the success of Live Penguin TV last year and we hope it provides some extra nightly entertainment for homes across Australia - especially those with kids looking for new stay-at-home activities," she said.
"People of all ages can enjoy watching the nightly parade of little penguins as they emerge from Bass Strait after a day of fishing and waddle back to their burrows, with expert commentary from our rangers."
Fans can watch the parade on Phillip Island Nature Parks' YouTube and Facebook channels.
