Jackie Chan Dead 2013: Top 10 Celebrity Death Hoaxes: Chris Brown, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Ryan Gosling, and More [PHOTOS]
Jackie Chan is dead? Not so fast! The rumors that have been circulating on Facebook and social media are all false.
Chan has once again become the victim of a celebrity death hoax.
A Facebook page titled "R.I.P. Jackie Chan,' which has since been deleted, alleged that the 59-year-old Chan had died while performing stunts for an upcoming film.
This is not the first time he's had to deal with a death hoax. A similar rumor last month prompted Chan to take to his Facebook in order to prove he was, in fact, alive.
"If I died, I would probably tell the world! I took a photo with today's date, just in case you don't believe me! However, thank you all for your concern. Kiss kiss and love you all," Chan wrote with an accompanying photo (above).
The power of social media is causing many stars like Justin Bieber, Chris Brown and Jon Bon Jovi to become victims of death hoaxes.

Bieber has reportedly "died" more than fifty times in 2013 -- making him the most often reported celebrity to be dead, according to a study of death rumors on Twitter. The pop superstar's death is falsely reported roughly every two weeks, according to Synthesio, a global social media and analysis company. Second on the dead-but-not-reall-dead list was Zayn Malik of One Direction. Rihanna and Chris Brown also were regularly reported deceased in the past three months.
Denzel Washington's death hoax started when rumors swirled that he had victim to a freaky snowboarding accident. But his publicist shot down the reports. "He is working on location in Atlanta currently," his rep said.
Country singer Reba McEntire took to Twitter to tell her fans she was alive and well and didn't die in Austria. "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!!!" she tweeted.
After facing a death hoax, Jon Bon Jovi posted a picture as physical evidence that he had not died via cardiac arrest. In the photo, he's holding a sign reading, "Heaven looks a lot like New Jersey," dated Dec. 19, 2011 at 6 p.m., along with the message, "Rest assured that Jon is alive and well! This photo was just taken."
