Betty White's agent on Monday debunked the COVID-19 booster-related rumors surrounding the actress' death, reiterating that the "Golden Girls" star died of natural causes.

In a statement to Associated Press, Jeff Witjas, White's agent and close friend, debunked the rumors that the actress received a COVID-19 booster shot on December 28 and that her death may have been related to it.

There's also images shared on Twitter and Facebook containing a quote that read, "'Eat healthy and get all your vaccines. I just got boosted today.' - Betty White, Dec. 28th, 2021."

Addressing the false quote, White's agent noted that White did not receive a booster on December 28.

"People are saying her [Betty White] death was related to getting a booster shot three days earlier but that is not true. She died of natural causes," Witjas said, adding that her death should not be politicized.

"That is not the life she lived... Betty died peacefully in her sleep at her home," Witjas added.

Vicki Lawrence Reveals Betty White's Last Word

On Monday, Vicki Lawrence, Betty White's co-star on the hit series "Mama's Family," revealed Betty's last word before her death.

Lawrence told Page Six that White's last word was "Allen," which was her late husband's name. Lawrence noted that she learned about what White said when she texted her friend and co-star Carol Burnett about the actress' passing.

"I texted Carol and said 'This just sucks.' I hate this,'" Lawrence said. She then mentioned that Burnett replied to her message claiming that White's assistant said the very "last words" that came out of the actress' mouth was her husband's name.

Lawrence further noted that she does not recall a moment when Betty White came on the set unprepared or ever messing up her lines.
