' erratic behavior, RadarOnline.com can exclusively report the TV legend's dementia is so advanced, she no longer recognizes her closest friends — and the tragic end could be near.
Whoopi Goldberg Opens a New Window. recently paid a visit to her former co-host, but 89-year-old Walters couldn't remember her at all, an insider claimed.
And even worse, Goldberg's presence triggered a screaming fit from the reclusive star, the insider said.
"Barbara's eyes were opened wide, and she was terrified," the insider spilled. "Barbara screamed: 'Who is she? Get out, get out! Help me! Get out.'"
"She wouldn't stop. No one could calm her down. Whoopi excused herself from the room. She was heartbroken by what she saw."
And while a rep for the veteran journalist said Walters is doing fine, the insider revealed her dementia is now at such a stage that insiders fear she could die any day.
Walters' loved ones have been making subtle arrangements for visitors, and devoted friends have been saying their final farewells.
The insider added: "The family is hoping the sight of familiar faces brings her some comfort in her final stretch. They have not said anything specific about the end, but many of the meetings have been solemn and teary."

"It's driving her pals crazy. But he's a trusted member of Barbara's team who has known her for years," another source said.

According to Vulture Opens a New Window. , former View cohost McCarthy accused Walters of alternating between screaming at her and being loving and kind during their time together on the show before the star's retirement.
In one incident, McCarthy said Walters forgot who she was, and asked, "Who is Jenny McCarthy?"
McCarthy's stories will appear in Ramin Setoodeh's upcoming expose Ladies Who Punch: The Explosive Inside Story of The View Opens a New Window.. .
