Many fans were upset the iconic house was torn down.
“This is terrible! Why demolish such a beautiful icons home not even a full year after her passing?! 😢,” one fan wrote.
“Why in the world would they tear it down? 😢,” another saddened fan replied.
This person was extremely peeved about the demolition writing, “Unless this is being rebuilt into an animal rescue of some sort in honor of our Queen White … WE DONT WANT IT! This is such a sad and disheartening thing to post in her ‘honor.’”
Betty White Fans Don’t Approve Of Her House Demolition
However, there was always a plan to tear down Betty’s house following her death at 99-years-old.
Earlier year, Betty and Ludden’s home sold for $100,000 over the $10.6 million asking price.
The home, which boasts five-bedrooms, six-bathrooms, a swimming pool and has views of the Getty Museum and Hollywood sign, was originally listed for $10.57 million.
The home is located at 506 N Carmelina Ave.
According to TMZ, several offers were made on the home. The buyer of the property is unknown, but the outlet notes it’s not another celebrity.
Betty’s property was sold by Marlene Okulick of Sotheby’s International Realty – Pacific Palisades Brokerage.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the former couple bought the home for its proximity to the studios in Hollywood.

A spokesperson for the estate shared with WSJ that the two-story home includes a sunroom where the actress reportedly enjoyed the view of the yard, which features flower-filled garden beds, old growth trees and a swimming pool.
“Betty White was a California girl through and through,” the star’s estate told WSJ. “Despite living in New York when she and Allen Ludden were first married, she longed to be ‘back home’ in Los Angeles where she grew up.”
The Sothesby listing states, “This property with huge parklike grounds, views of the Getty Museum and mountains has been lovingly cared for. Gated and set back from the street on over 3/4 of an acre, the setting is peaceful with flower filled gardens and old growth trees. This is the first time the property is on the market in over 50 years. This is a unique opportunity to build your dream home on a flat lot in a serene country setting. The property is being sold for land value. There will be no interior access of the home. All showings are of the exterior only. Shown by appointment only to financially qualified Buyers.”
