Washington
(ANI):
Hannah
Montana
star
Miley
Cyrus
was
a
victim
of
an
Internet
hoax,
which
claimed
that
she
had
died
on
September
5
morning
in
a
car
accident.
Cyrus,
who
had
been
reported
as
dead,
was
seen
alive
and
healthy
on
Sunday
morning,
and
the
news
has
been
proven
to
be
fake,
Fox
News
reported.
According
to
MyFOXLA,
the
report
was
made
up
to
look
like
a
Yahoo
News
post
via
Reuters
and
was
then
posted
on
the
Wikipedia
entry
for
Miley
Cyrus.
The
news
of
her
death
circulated
quickly
even
though
Cyrus
had
performed
at
New
York's
Fashion
Week
"Fashion
Rocks" later
that
day.
The
fake
news,
which
contained
numerous
misspellings,
showed
a
fake
screenshot
of
the
teen
star,
and
claimed
that
the
she
was
on
her
way
to
film
scenes
for
"Hannah
Montana"
when
her
vehicle
collided
with
a
large
truck.
MyFOXLA
denied
the
rumor,
noting
that
Cyrus
is
"alive
and
kicking."
