Construction is underway at the former site whereBetty White’s beloved Brentwood, California home once stood.
New photos show workers moving dirt and framing buildings on the nearly three-quarter acre property, which White called home for more than 50 years.
Last June, the site sold for $10.678 million after just one month on the market.
TheHollywood legendand her late husbandAllen Luddenbought the property in 1968, according toThe Wall Street Journal.

According tothe listing, the property was sold for “land value,” meaning it was always set to be torn down once bought.
In December, the late actress' assistant, Kiersten Mikelas, posted a photo announcing that the home had been torn down.
“This is such a busy time of year and coming up on the anniversary of Betty’s passing is hitting in ways I hadn’t anticipated,” she wrote of White,who died on Dec. 31, 2021. “Her Brentwood home is no more (save the fireplaces which will be gone in short order).”
In the photo, the dirt took the place of where the home previously stood, and an excavator sat near one of the fireplaces, which was still intact.
She added: “I promise a wonderful tribute to our most wonderful lady very soon!!!!”

The sunny two-story home was a seeming source of happiness for the actress. It included a sunroom where White reportedly enjoyed the view of the yard, which featured flower-filled garden beds, old growth trees and a swimming pool, a spokesperson shared with theWSJ.
