Former talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is once again the victim of a short-lived death hoax that began trending on Twitter on August 30.

Social media was in a frenzy after a string of tweets were posted claiming the 65-year-old television personality had died.

Luckily for fans, Ellen is very much alive and well – but has since not commented on the recent death hoax.

‘I just realized Ellen Degeneres isn’t dead’ one user said on Twitter.

Another person tweeted: ‘Why did I think Ellen was dead?’

This has been one of several death hoaxes Ellen has dealt with over the years on social media.

The hashtag #RIPEllen was trending back in July 2020 – with several users tweeting their ‘condolences.’

‘Is Ellen dead or not?! Y’all confusing tf out of me #ripellen’ wrote one confused Twitter user.

The tweets began after a rumor that the then 62-year-old comedian died after she jumped off the roof of a house.

However, that was proven to be false, and the hashtag eventually became a way for Twitter users to mock her ‘death’ with fake obituaries and photos of celebrities who look like her.

People on Twitter fueled the rumors again in 2022 with more premature tributes.

‘I cannot believe it what happened,’ tweeted one user.

Another user said: ‘I know everyone hated her during her last years but Ellen DeGeneres did so much for the queer community in her life it’s kinda sad how she passed away #ripellen.’

A recent tweet stated: ‘RIP to my dear friend Ellen DeGeneres – All my friends are dead…’

The 2020 death hoax began three months after she shared words of encouragement from her living room that social media didn’t find funny.

‘One thing I’ve learned from being in quarantine is that people — this is like being in jail, is what this is,’ said DeGeneres.

‘It’s mostly because I’ve been wearing the same clothes for 10 days, and everyone in here is gay.’

One user tweeted: ‘Oh the jokes that you have…. my son is in prison facing a charge of Coronavirus infecting him. Yep it’s such a joke… haha.’

DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary on August 16, to which Ellen posted a lovely tribute to Portia on her Instagram.

She’s also been acting as a ‘chicken influencer,’ and she answered questions involving the care for her chickens in an Instagram video on August 26.
