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)

What “they’re” saying is largely wrong.
We’re seeing light from the past because light takes time to travel to us from where it is. but the star is almost certainly still there. We pretty much exclusively see with our eyes only stars in our own galaxy which are at most 100,000-150,000 light years away. Stars typically live for millions of years and can even live up to trillions.
