This has been a pretty rough year in terms of losing our icons, and losing them at ages that are far from what one would consider "old." After losing George Michael, Ricky Harris and Carrie Fisher in a span of days at the tail end of the year, Twitter users are more than disappointed -- they are pretty frightened. People started saying that precautions need to be taken to look out for the icons we have left, whose work we've grown up with and followed. Here is a list of stars Twitter users said we need to keep a 24/7 eye on as this disappointing year comes to a close.

A man in South Carolina went as far as to set up a <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/help-protect-betty-white-from-2016?ssid=854367614&pos=1" target="_blank">GoFundMePage</a> to protect the 94-year-old comedian. He surpassed his goal of $2,000 in 20 hours.
"Help 2016 catch these hands if it goes anywhere near Betty White!" Demetrios Hrysikos wrote in the fundraising description. "If she's okay with it I will fly to where ever Betty White is and keep her safe till Jan 1 , 2017."
