Miley Cyrus laughs atonline death hoax

London: Pop star Miley Cyrus posted a topless photograph on Instagram to dispel an internet death hoax. The 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, who was subject to the internet hoax this week, had been unusually quiet on her social media accounts and decided to come back with a bang to slam the rumours, reported Daily Mirror.

In the picture, the 21-year-old star shows off her legs in a pair of denims and is seen putting her bare back towards the camera against a backdrop of a desert. She also posted a number of selfies with colourful accessories in her hair.

"#ladytonguecontroller. We're not sure what that means, but at least she's not on the way to the mortuary," she wrote, slamming fake stories about her death circulating online.
