Hacker Says Miley Cyrus 'Dead' In Web Post

'Death' Claim Yanked From Singer's YouTube Account

Here's proof that you can't believe everything you read on the Internet: Miley Cyrus is alive.

Cyrus was the victim of a hoax over the weekend when someone hacked into her YouTube account and posted a video saying she had been killed by a drunken driver.

According to TMZ.com, the video the hacker posted read, "Miley died this morning after being hit by a drunk driver. She always told us if anything ever happened to her then tell her loyal fans first before the public. R.I.P Miley, we'll never forget you!"

The video claimed to have been posted by Cyrus' friend, Mandy Jiroux, who denied she had posted the video.

The post has since been pulled offline.

Cyrus was in Los Angeles over the weekend doing interviews for the new animated film "Bolt," which opens Friday.
