Britney Spears has been claimed dead in her own Twitter page, after hackers got into her account and posted a fake message.
The pop singer's Twitter page was targeted by hackers on Saturday. One announced her death to her two million followers, saying: "Britney has passed today. It is a sad day for everyone. More news to come."
After the fake tweet, the rumor quickly spread across the Internet.
A Twitter statement made by Britney's representatives soon after said: "Britney's Twitter was just hacked. The last message is obviously not true. She is fine and dandy spending a quiet day at home relaxing."
This is the second time Spears's Twitter page had been hacked this year. TMZ reports that in January, pranksters posted a series of vulgar "tweets" using her account.
The social networking site's executives have shut down part of the service as they tried to uncover how the system was being hacked.
