What a life!” [VIDEO] [INTERVIEW][INSIGHT] And another user, seigeceej, replied: “I’m absolutely distraught. “I adored her so much. She was my golden girl. May she Rest In Peace.” Caitriona’s post was met with plenty more comments from her 526k fans. Elizabeth Smith said: “A devastating loss for not only the entertainment industry but for everyone around the world.”  “She made us laugh consistently for many years. RIP Betty White.” And SA7AH replied: “I can't believe we'll be starting 2022 without this one-of-a-kind legend. “Not only comedy personified, but just a beautiful human being.” Caitriona will soon be back on screens herself, with the sixth season of set to finally arrive early next year.
