Betty White’s beloved pet bear Bam Bam dead just months after Golden Girls actress & sweet pair will now be ‘reunited’

BETTY White's beloved pet bear, Bam Bam, has died just months after the actress passed away.

The animal lover is now reunited with her beloved bear friend after they met in 2018, her former assistant said.

Betty is known for her roles in Golden Girls, Hot In Cleveland, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and many more, but one aspect of her life was far more important to her: animals.

Bam Bam was a bear that Betty met just a few years ago while filming a documentary.

It is unclear where the bear resided before his death.

Her official Instagram page, which is now run by her personal assistant Kiersten Mikelas, shared the news of the bear's passing.

"Returning from hiatus with a bittersweet post. This boy has been reunited with this lady, who loved him so dearly," they wrote, adding rainbow emojis.

Ending the post with three hearts emojis, she said, "Bam Bam was just a spectacular creature. He will be dearly missed by all those who loved him."

Kiersten shared the news in the early morning hours of June 14 and added four photos to the post.

The first three showed Betty cuddling the bear, talking to him, and rubbing up against him.

In the last one, she was sitting next to her friend, the late Georgia Engel, who died in April 2019.

They both smiled and cuddled up to the bear as he sat on a wooden bench.

Fans and followers of Betty's page commented their condolences and said that he was in good hands with Betty now.
