Viral internet star Lil Tay is not dead, but rather the victim of hackers who allegedly posted a phony announcement on her social media page, according to a new report.

The 14-year-old rapper and online sensation emphasized both she and her brother were safe and healthy Thursday, a day after their deaths were announced online.

“I’m completely heartbroken, and struggling to even find the right words to say,” she said in a statement to TMZ. “It’s been a very traumatizing 24 hours. All day yesterday, I was bombarded with endless heartbreaking and tearful phone calls from loved ones all while trying to sort out this mess.”

She continued: “My Instagram account was compromised by a 3rd party and used to spread jarring misinformation and rumors regarding me, to the point that even my name was wrong. My legal name is Tay Tian, not ‘Claire Hope.’”

Tay also thanked Meta — the company that operates both Facebook and Instagram — for helping her regain control of her account and scrubbing the phony death announcement from her page.

It’s not clear why the teen waited as long as she did to dispute the claims.

On Wednesday, an Instagram post appeared on Lil Tay’s grid, announcing both her death and the death of her brother.

“It is with a heavy heart that we share the devastating news of our beloved Claire’s sudden and tragic passing,” it read. “We have no words to express the unbearable loss and indescribable pain. This outcome was entirely unexpected, and has left us all in shock.”

The post also noted the “circumstances surrounding Claire and her brother’s passing are still under investigation,” but authorities in Los Angeles — where Tay allegedly lives — quickly shut down the claim. The police department and its medical examiner told Insider they “had no information on an investigation into the death of anyone named Claire Hope.”

Police in Vancouver — where Tay is reportedly from — similarly denied having any knowledge of the case.

The hoax started to unravel quickly thereafter, with both her father, Christopher Hope, and her former manager, Harry Tsang, declining to confirm Tay’s death.

Lil Tay shot to fame in 2018 at just 9 years old with rapping videos and clips of her “flexing” money and expensive possessions. She quickly racked up more than 3 million followers on Instagram, but her account has not been updated in recent years. Her most recent post prior to the death hoax was in June 2018 to mourn the loss of “father figure” and rapper XXXTentacion, who was fatally shot outside a Florida motorcycle shop while he was being robbed of $50,000 in cash.
