Bond film legend Tanya Roberts has died aged 65.
TMZ report that the actress died on Monday night at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA.
They add that her partner Lance O’Brien has confirmed the news after doctor’s called him shortly after 9pm to confirm her passing.
Roberts found mainstream fame after bagging roles in James Bond and Charlie’s Angels.
On Sunday night widespread reports incorrectly stated Roberts had passed away after Lance told her publisher she had died.
The mistake caused widespread confusion.
TMZ now report that Lance has told them the mix-up happened after he visited Tanya in hospital.

He thought his long-term partner had ‘faded away’ and left without speaking to medical staff.
Tanya’s rep Mike Ping says Lance told him that Tanya ‘died in my arms’.
Lance was then told by the hospital, whilst filming a TV interview, that his wife was still alive.
He said on camera: “Now, you are telling me she’s alive?” he asked.
