Betty White Death Hoax, 'Golden Girls' Star NOT Found Dead! Twitter Fans Respond To Humorous 'Dyes Peacefully In Home' Goof, Sparks #RIP Rumors

Betty White is NOT Dead - just another victim of the morbid celebrity death hoax that recently went viral on Twitter.

Disclaimer - Empire News is a SATIRICAL website. Therefore, this "shocking" headline regarding 92-year-old White's passing is totally fabricated.

In fact, the entire report is totally ridiculous (and quite funny) if fans pay close enough attention.

"Die" and dye" are two totally different things!

The title reads - "Actress Betty White, 92, Dyes Peacefully In Her Lose Angeles Home."

The boguse report then explains how the beloved "Golden Girls" starlet is "not a natural blonde" - because she DYES her hair. Get it?

Apparently, some Twitter fans didn't get the humorous play on words:

@ae4life10: "RIP Betty White. You brought a lot of laughter to people. And will contribute to do so with reruns. Your legacy will never die."

@_geebay_ : "Aw man Betty White passed away, RIP she seemed so wonderful."

@FancysPicks: "What sad news...my favorite 'Golden Girl' Betty White has died at the lovely age of 92! She was hysterical in everything. RIP #bettywhite."

@MarkDeBaca: "RIP Betty White. Your vibrant positive attitude rubbed off on a lot of people."

@staceypenza: "The last golden girl has gone home... RIP Betty white you were an amazing actress and a huge part of my childhood."

But as one clever fan puts it:

‏@drkcutie736: "RIP Betty White trending is a PERFECT example of how ppl jus follow what they see & have no common sense to do their own research #sheep."

Yes - White is still alive and well. Apparently the only thing "dying" is her roots.
