Tanya Roberts, star of the James Bond movie A View To A Kill, is said to be still alive despite reports to the contrary.

Earlier today the actress was reported to have died at the age of 65 following a collapse at her home on Christmas Eve.

The star's representative Mike Pingel is said to have sent out a press release confirming her death at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, having been informed of her passing by husband Lance.

According to TMZ, Pingel has now revealed that he received a call from the hospital today confirming that Roberts - also known for That '70s Show and Charlie's Angels - is still alive.

The publication also says that multiple friends of Roberts had got in touch to allege that they too had been informed of her death by Lance on Sunday.

The reason for the mix-up - as well as Roberts's current condition - is unknown.
