US actress Tanya Roberts, best known for her roles in the James Bond film A View to a Kill and the final season of Charlie's Angels, is still alive, her representative has told the BBC.

She was mistakenly announced, including by the BBC, as having died on Sunday.

But Mike Pingel said she remained in a serious condition in hospital in Los Angeles.

Roberts, 65, appeared with Sir Roger Moore in his final Bond film and had a recurring role in That '70s Show.

She collapsed while walking her dogs on 24 December and was admitted to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre.

Mr Pingel told media outlets he mistakenly announced Roberts' death based on information he received from her partner. But a call from the hospital confirmed that she was still alive on Monday morning.

She remains in the ICU in a serious condition, he said.

"It does not look good," he told the PA news agency.

The earlier announcement of Roberts' death was met with tributes from fans and former colleagues.
