Here’s an example paper estimating the number of years of life expectancy lost is ~10 years.

Note that in the UK for example the average age of COVID deaths is around 80 with many of those from care homes where their life expectancy is particularly low. This statistic makes the figure of ~10 years of life expectancy lost fairly plausible.
