The world has lost an iconic actress and a classy lady.

Betty White, who was famously known for her TV stint on The Golden Girls, has passed away at the age of 99.

White was just a few weeks away from a milestone birthday, her 100th birthday.

She was the last one to survive from the hit TV show of The Golden Girls, as Bea Arthur, Estelle Getty and Rue McClanahan all passed away.
