"Pawn Stars" star Chumlee has taken to social media to prove that he is, in fact, not dead.

Chumlee, born Austin Russell, fell victim to a death hoax earlier this week when rumors began to circulate that he had died from a heart attack.

"May we live long, Rich forever," the reality star tweeted amid a sea of condolences on social media.

Russell's co-star and boss Rick Harrison also debunked the rumors on Twitter.

"Pawn Stars" airs on the History channel and follows the daily operations of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas.

The shop is family-owned, and Russell is the childhood friend of Corey Harrison, owner Rick Harrison's son.

You can see Chumlee alive and well on "Pawn Stars" at 9 p.m. ET on Thursdays.
