The discovery of a Higgs boson with a mass of about 125 GeV has prompted the question of whether or not this particle is part of a larger and more complex Higgs sector than that envisioned in the Standard Model. In this talk, recent results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider will be presented. These latest results include both precision measurements on the recently discovered Higgs boson, as well as a summary of searches for additional Higgs bosons beyond the Standard Model such as those predicted by the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) and more generally Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDM).
