Former Bride and Prejudice Australia star Dannii Erskine has put an end to rumors of her death following a supposed fatal car accident.
Erskine allegedly confirmed her well-being after her social media accounts posted a memorial message that led many to believe she had passed away.
Her sister was rumoured to have spoken about her sibling’s supposed death, saying that she had injuries that were “beyond repair.”

However, Erskine’s supposed demise turned out to be a hoax.
The police confirmed that there were no fatal or serious collisions in North Melbourne in the past month, and the coroner had no record of Dannii Erskine’s death.

“I couldn’t believe it when I saw the message on Instagram,” said one of Erskine’s fans.
“I was so sad that she had passed away. But when I heard that it was a hoax, I was relieved and happy that she was still alive.”
A statement from Erskine herself was later sent to the SoDramatic! podcast, denying the rumours of her death and claiming that her social media accounts had been hacked and she was in the hospital, being treated for a broken ankle.

Podcast host Megan Pustetto shared that a friend of Erskine’s had reportedly shared a statement from her that showed the star was furious about the rumours, which were also rumoured to have come from “a friend.”
Pustetto read from Erskine’s statement: “’In psych. Because of all this s**t, and my foot got infected.
“‘My account was hacked, and my family would never confirm to the media or post on my Instagram.”
The statement continued, with Erskine furious that her sister was being blamed and blaming the alleged source:
“No, my sister did nothing, and you can screenshot this to her. I have been in a hospital bed all week. I was told to focus on getting my foot better. That’s just another lie from her end. Tell her to get her f**king facts straight.”’
Denton Ansley, Erskine’s former fiancé who appeared on Bride and Prejudice with her, revealed that Erskine had previously claimed to have died.
