Betty White's home has been torn down just a few months after it was sold for $10.678 million.

The California property went on the market earlier this year, following the actor's death on New Year's Eve at the age of 99.

Dating back to the early 1950s, house was made up of five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool and a guesthouse.

White moved in with her third husband, Allen Ludden, in 1968 because it was situated close to several studios where she worked but also afforded her some privacy.

But now, just months after it was sold for around $3m over the asking price, the property has been demolished.

The news was announced on White's Instagram page, with a photo of what was left.

"Hello all! I owe a post (or two) I know," the caption reads. "This is such a busy time of year and coming up on the anniversary of Betty’s passing is hitting in ways I hadn’t anticipated.

"Her Brentwood home is no more (save the fireplaces which will be gone in short order). I promise a wonderful tribute to our most wonderful lady very soon!!!!"

Since the post was shared, it has been liked over 50,000 times, with fans distraught by the news.

"Huge disrespect!!!! People have no heart," wrote one user.

Another asked: "Why did they tear it down?"

It's approaching the first anniversary of White's death.

The much-loved actor's passing was confirmed by agent and close friend Jeff Witjas to Variety. Los Angeles Police Department were called to a death investigation on 31 December 2021 at 9.30am local time. White would have turned 100 on 17 January.

"Even though Betty was about to be 100, I thought she would live forever." Witjas said.

"I will miss her terribly and so will the animal world that she loved so much.

"I don’t think Betty ever feared passing because she always wanted to be with her most beloved husband Allen Ludden. She believed she would be with him again."

Celebrities and fans from around the world took to social media to pay their respects to the trail-blazing comedian, including President Joe Biden, who tweeted that White ‘brought a smile to the lips of generations of Americans’, and told reporters, ‘who didn’t love Betty White?’
