Kiersten posted an Instagram photo of the property to announce that the house had been demolished with only debris and a fireplace remaining from the previous structure, Daily Mail reports. "Hello all! I owe a post (or two) I know. 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 in the caption. "Her Brentwood home is no more (save the fireplaces which will be gone in short order). I promise a wonderful tribute to our most wonderful lady very soon!!!!"

The beautiful two-story property, which was 3,029 square feet in size, featured five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a pool, and a gorgeous view of the Getty museum. Betty kept the Brentwood mansion as her residence even after Allen's death, for about four decades till her own death last year. Her Carmel seaside mansion sold for $10.775 million this April, about $3 million above its asking price, as per Architectural Digest.

The Brentwood home was on the market in the same month with an asking price of $10.575 million, according to Los Angeles Times. The Los Angeles property also managed to surpass projections, eventually selling in June for $10.678 million, according to TMZ. When Betty's Brentwood home was sold, it was widely rumored that the new owners intended to have it demolished and replace with a new structure.

The original house was constructed in the 1950s, but Betty and Allen didn't move in until the late 1990s, five years into their marriage. Betty described Allen, a game show host, as the "love of my life," and they were married for almost 20 years when he died in 1981 from stomach cancer, only four years before she made her television debut on 'The Golden Girls'.

She jokingly said to Piers Morgan on CNN that her first two marriages were "rehearsals," adding that back then, "you didn't sleep with a guy until you married him." She didn't meet Allen until 1961 when he was already in charge of New York City's wildly popular game program 'Password'. The week before he met Betty, Allen's previous wife, Margaret McGloin, died from cancer, leaving him a single parent to three kids.
