French screen siren Brigitte Bardot has personally stepped forward to quash widespread rumours of her demise, confirming to fans that reports of her death are completely fabricated.
The 89-year-old cinema legend felt compelled to issue an official statement after false claims circulated that she had passed away in hospital, causing alarm among her global fanbase.
The Truth Behind the Rumours
Contrary to the malicious online speculation, Bardot remains very much alive and in good health at her home in France. The iconic actress and animal rights activist took the unusual step of making a public declaration to set the record straight.
'I am alive and well!' the statement emphatically declared, putting to rest the concerning gossip that had gained traction across social media platforms and various websites.
A Legacy That Lives On
Bardot, who rose to international fame in the 1950s and 1960s as one of cinema's original sex symbols, has largely retreated from public life in recent decades. However, her enduring legacy continues to capture public imagination, making her particularly vulnerable to such morbid falsehoods.
The star of classic films like 'And God Created Woman' has faced similar death hoaxes in the past, though this latest episode appears to have gained significant momentum before being debunked.
Celebrity Death Hoaxes: An Unfortunate Trend
This incident marks another entry in the disturbing trend of celebrity death hoaxes that regularly sweep across the internet. Other high-profile figures have fallen victim to similar false reports, often causing unnecessary distress to family, friends, and admirers.
Bardot's representatives have reinforced her message, confirming that the screen legend continues her animal welfare advocacy work from her home in Saint-Tropez, where she has lived for many years.
Fans of the French icon can breathe easy knowing that one of cinema's most enduring stars continues to enjoy her retirement, far from the spotlight but very much among the living.
