Miley Cyrus victim of online death hoax
Rumours of Miley Cyrus' demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The Hannah Montana star, who is alive and well, was the victim of an internet hoax over the weekend when someone hacked into her YouTube account and posted a video alleging she'd been killed by a drunken driver.
The video, which has been taken down, had a fake message from Cyrus' friend Mandy Jiroux, who swiftly denied the rumour in a posting on her official MySpace page.
Wrote Jiroux: "MILEY IS OK!! Some1 hacked our youtube account."
More proof: The Associated Press interviewed Cyrus at the Los Angeles junket for the Disney animated film Bolt.
