Tanya Roberts fans are erupting with joy — and confusion — after it was discovered that the actress is still alive. On Sunday, news began circulating that the former That ’70s Show actress had died at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, after collapsing at her home on Christmas Eve. Her boyfriend and her representative both confirmed the news. The world collectively mourned her passing, but then things took a turn on Monday.

According to Inside Edition, while Roberts’ boyfriend, Lance O’Brien, was being interviewed by the outlet, he received a phone call letting him know that she was, in fact, not dead. “Now, you are telling me she’s alive?” he said, before breaking down in tears. “The hospital is telling me she is alive,” he continued. “They are calling me from the ICU team.” He went on to explain that, while Roberts did not have coronavirus, due to protocols in place by the hospital, he could not be at her side.
