Celebrities are mourning the loss of comedy legend Betty White.
On Friday, December 31, TMZ was the first to report the beloved pop culture icon had passed away at her home mere days before her 100th birthday.
"Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever," her agent Jeff Witjas said confirming the sad news to People. "I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much."
