On Friday, Jackie Chan said that he has been receiving calls from his family and friends checking on him after they read the said reports on the popular social networking site.

"These few years, there have repeatedly been false news which has caused my fans and friends who care about me, to worry if I am dead!," he wrote. "If I am really dead, I will definitely announce it."

The Asian superstar attached a photo of himself holding a newspaper dated June 21st to prove that he is alive.

"Tell everyone! Ha ha! To make people believe it, please look at the photo! Thank you for everyone’s concern and love!," he added.

Last week, a message that claims Jackie Chan died after falling from a 12-floor building while performing a stunt went viral on Facebook.

"Hollywood Breaking News - Jackie Chan died after perfecting a deadly stunt. Jackie Chan falls from a building of 12 floors. Police are currently investigating. Watch the original video of the deadly stunt and their effort to save Jackie Chan," the message reads.

The Facebook message is linked to an application, which automatically shares the fake report on one's timeline when allowed.

This is not the first time that the Hong Kong actor fell victim of death hoax online. In the past couple of years, there had been recurring false reports that he died. Again, Jackie Chan is alive and kicking!
