Contrary to the internet rumor mill, Oklahoma native and country music star
Reba McEntire is alive and well.
McEntire quickly became a top-trending topic across the web after Global Associated News reported she fell off a mountain while filming a movie in Australia.
Tuesday afternoon, one of her reps posted to her official Facebook page: "Global Associated News, who devised this latest celebrity hoax, is an entertainment site that generates 'totally fake articles based on zero truth.' Reba is alive and well, but would like to thank her loyal fans for their concern."
As if that wasn't enough to quell fanatic postings from fearful fans, McEntire then took to her Facebook and her official website to clear things up, too.
"There is a rumor going around that I died after falling off a mountain in Austria yesterday while shooting a movie. While I would love to be shooting a movie in Austria, I definitely did not fall off a mountain! Nor am I dead! I am alive and kicking!!! Most of you know this already because I've been giving you daily accounts of Shelby's race.
"Oh well. Have a great day," she wrote.
