$GL_1(\mathcal{E}'(\mathbb{R}))$ open in $\mathcal{E}'(\mathbb{R})$?

Let $\mathcal{E}'(\mathbb{R})$ be algebra of all compactly supported distributions on $\mathbb{R}$, equipped with the strong dual topology $\beta(\mathcal{E}',\mathcal{E})$, and with the usual operations of addition and convolution.

Is the set ${{\textrm{GL}}}_1(\mathcal{E}'(\mathbb{R}))$ of invertible elements open in $\mathcal{E}'(\mathbb{R})$?
