Miley Cyrus is the latest star to fall victim to internet rumours of her untimely demise.

The Hannah Montana star - who is alive and well - received morbid condolences on her YouTube page in response to a prank death announcement.

The message 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 was pulled down immediately.

Miley is no doubt relieved that it wasn't another photo scandal...

Last month, Tom Cruise's publicist was forced to dismiss internet rumblings that the actor had died falling off a cliff whilst filming.
