Miley Cyrus dead, claims hacker on her YouTube account

Melbourne, November 17 : Miley Cyrus' YouTube account has been infiltrated by a hacker who uploaded a video clip claiming the 'Hannah Montana' actress had died.

The death rumour, which has now been trashed, depicted the teen star's "message" to fans while her song lingered in the background.

"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 Daily Telegraph quoted it as saying.

The incident came soon after the FBI raided the house of a teen hacker, who had boasted to his buddies about flooding the Internet with the personal pictures of the young actress.

The 15-year-old Disney starlet had reportedly feared another hacking attempt after the investigators informed her that a hacker might have circulated her personal information in her email.
