Oops! Michael J. Fox was forced to reassure fans he’s alive and well after CNN accidentally published a tribute video and article suggesting he had died.

“I’m OK,” the 64-year-old Back to the Future star quickly told followers on Threads after the erroneous report — ominously titled “Remembering the Life of Actor Michael J. Fox” — briefly appeared.

A CNN spokesperson later explained per TMZ, “The package was published in error. We have removed it from our platforms and extend our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”

Michael, ever the good sport, responded with humor, joking about how one might react to seeing their own obituary on TV — before reassuring fans once again that he’s just fine.
