Several celebrity Twitter accounts have been hacked - including Kylie Jenner, Keith Richards, Tame Impala and Bon Iver.

Tenacious D's account was hacked yesterday, posting that Jack Black had passed away. They've since deleted the tweets and confirmed Jack is alive and well.

More accounts were hacked this morning, and hoax tweets included claims about celebrity deaths and a bomb threat.

A now deleted tweet from Bon Iver's account showed a derogatory comment about Muhammad Ali's death, while Kylie Jenner's account posted "I love being famous with no talent" - which has also since been deleted.
