If stars we see are billions of years dead, what is really out there now?

They say that when we look up to see stars, we’re actually seeing the light from dead stars. So technically, we can’t see what’s out there in the present? What do you think is out there now? is it just new, modern stars or we don’t get to see anything at all? (since by now, everything has expanded billions of miles apart from each other that light is far from anything to reach)

None of the stars you can see with the naked eye are dead, except maybe (one in a million chance) Betelgeuse, an appropriate star to name a living-dead demon after.
