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."

"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."

The devestating news comes just after the actress announced that her birthday bash was set to be filmed for the upcoming documentary Betty White: 100 Years Young - A Birthday Celebration.

Following the tragic news, celebrities like her pal Ryan Reynolds, as well as Seth Meyers, and Ryan Seacrest paid tribute to White on social media.
