Miley Cyrus's representatives have been forced to confirm she is still alive after an Internet hacker broke into the teen superstar's YouTube account and falsely claimed she had died in a car crash.

Miley Cyrus's representatives have been forced to confirm she is still alive after an Internet hacker broke into the teen superstar's YouTube account and falsely claimed she had died in a car crash.

A video was uploaded onto Cyrus' official page on the video sharing website on Sunday, which told fans: "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. RIP Miley, we'll never forget you!"

The video, set to the 'Hannah Montana' star's sad new song 'Goodbye', upset the singer/actress' friends and family, who had to quickly deny the claims - insisting it was the work of a twisted hacker.
