Haven’t seen any official articles yet, but Ingrid Carlberg on X/Twitter announced that Liv Ullmann had passed away.

If true a great loss

I would assume Carlberg is telling the truth, I don’t see any reason she would say otherwise unless given faulty information.

That post came ten hours ago, so it is indeed strange that news hasn't spread elsewhere. Maybe the family wants the media to hold off for the moment, but then I wonder why Carlberg went ahead and broke the news?

Hugues Peysson (a family friend of hers) and Dheeraj Akolkar (director of her documentary, Liv Ullman - A Road Less Travelled) state that this is misinformation and her family has confirmed this is fake news.

That clinches it, but FWIW I dug a little more - Carlberg has an official website, and it has social media links on it. The Twitter (or "X" blech) link goes to a different account. The one with the misinformation is an account that opened back in October, and it looks fake for a variety of other reasons.
