Jaden Smith is the latest celebrity to fall victim to a vile death hoax online following a prank that left many fans concerned for his safety.
The son of action hero Will Smith has been the subject of cruel rumours that he has committed suicide, with a 'video' being uploaded to Facebook which claimed to feature him saying goodbye to his famous dad.
The hoax - which involves getting permission to post on the user's page on the social media site - has been spread by people noticing it on their newsfeed as more and more people click on the fake link.

The spam apps lured many users in, but Jaden - who is yet to respond to the rumours - is alive and well four years after a similarly cruel prank.
As well as recently appearing alongside his dad Will on the red carpet for comic book blockbuster Suicide Squad, he is working on an upcoming Netflix show of his own.

It comes weeks after fans of School of Rock star Jack Black were shocked by rumours of his own demise  when Tenacious D's account was hacked.
After a tortuous few hours for fans the "announcement" that the singer and actor had passed away in the early hours of Sunday morning proved all to be a hoax, when the hacker admitted the actor, 46, is still alive: "Calm down guys! It's just a prank bro, look there's the camera...
Jack Black
Jack Black has also been the victim of a hoax
"The Legend is still alive, it is ok guys :)"
After admitting it was a joke the hacker appeared to out himself, retweeting a message from the account @Ruthless claiming: "RT if I fooled you all!! XDDDD"

Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j...

Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards   CREDIT:  HBO   O h now, that was VERY impressive. And by “impressive” we mean gruelling, cathartic and upsetting. By the end of the Battle of the Bastards and the Jon Snow v Ramsay Bolton showdown over Winterfell   we felt as if we’d crawled through a freezing quagmire, climbed a wall of cadavers and gasped for breath as a dozen dying men sat on our faces .  Which, oddly enough, is exactly what befell Jon as the grumpy saviour negotiated the grandest mass battle Game of Thrones has yet mounted for our enjoyment/terror/disgust Tormund Giantsbane in Game of Thrones season 6, episode 9, Battle of the Bastards A  cast of hundreds, a budget of millions, flayed men roasting on an open fire – season four’s penultimate episode had it all.
