In the wake of "James Bond" and "That 70s Show" actress Tanya Roberts’ death, many celebrities have taken to social media to eulogize the late star.
The actress’ publicist, Mike Pingel, confirmed the news of her death on social media Monday.

Roberts had been hospitalized since Dec. 24 after she collapsed while walking her dogs, Pingel told The Hollywood Reporter. Her death was not COVID-19 related, reports said. She was seen conducting live chats with fans as recently as Dec. 19 and was said to be in good health.
