2016 has been one long, excruciating year of celebrity deaths.
What started with the loss of David Bowie continued with the subsequent passings of legends like Prince, Muhammad Ali, Gene Wilder, and George Michael.
Now with the news of Carrie Fisher‘s devastating death, Twitter is hoping 2016 doesn’t taken yet another beloved treasure before the year’s end — Betty White!

In the wake of the Star Wars legend’s passing, hundreds of social media users sent hope for the 94-year-old actress to make it through the bitter year.
Sending the positive vibes sure isn’t hurting — though it IS scaring people by making #BettyWhite trend…
See the virtual pleas (below):
Dear 2016,
If you take Betty White from us this year, we will riot.
Sincerely,
The Human Population

Someone needs to hide Betty White until 2016 ends

Y’all, we gotta find Betty White and put her in a secure storage facility with 24/7 maximum protection security. 2016 will NOT take her too. pic.twitter.com/h45tHsL44d

Can we cover Betty White in bubble wrap and protect her forever?

That’s enough 2016. You don’t get to claim Betty White too. She is invincible!

Betty White must hate how she starts trending any time another celebrity dies. Like, “yes, I know. I’m old.”

Yikes!
Amid all the panic and frustration, we’re keeping positive and thinking like this guy:
Betty White hit the dab earlier this year. She definitely gonna make it to 2017.pic.twitter.com/0TS7If1T5n
