Iconic actress Betty White has died at the age of 99.
Her longtime agent Jeff Witjas said in a statement, “Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever.”
He added, “I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much. I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again.”
White would have celebrated her 100th birthday on January 17.
The actress was known for her roles in “Golden Girls” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show.”
Several took to Twitter to react to White’s passing, including President Joe Biden.
“Betty White brought a smile to the lips of generations of Americans. She’s a cultural icon who will be sorely missed. Jill and I are thinking of her family and all those who loved her this New Year’s Eve,” Biden said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement, “Today, we lost a beloved TV icon. Betty White was a pioneering actress, who blessed generations of Americans with her talent and humor for 8 decades.”
She continued, “May it be a comfort to her loved ones and many admirers that so many mourn with them during this sad time.”
