Alongside the video, White’s team thanked fans who honored the late TV legend by donating to animal shelters and rescues as part of the #BettyWhiteChallenge that went viral following her death.
“She could never have imagined such an outpouring of love and would have been so grateful to everyone,” they wrote.
“She was using the occasion of her 100th birthday to celebrate YOU — her fans,” they added. “She knew how lucky she was; she felt the love, and she never took it for granted. I think it’s appropriate to post today as a thank [you] from Betty and the animals.”
