Right now, a rising search on Google is, 'Did Jaden Smith die?' The question stemmed from Facebook posts, YouTube videos, and fake news websites that falsely claimed Will Smith announced the death of his son.

On the morning of Jan. 23, 2023, a rising search on Google was users asking,"Did Jaden Smith die?" This was nothing more than a death hoax that stemmed from Facebook posts, YouTube videos, and fake online news websites that falsely claimed actor Will Smith announced the death of his son, Jaden Smith.

We found no credible news articles that mentioned anything of Jaden Smith being dead or hospitalized, nor did we locate reporting that said he had been involved in an accident or come down with an illness.A search of Facebook showed that many suspect users were posting links to fake online news websites that claimed,"5 Minutes Ago/ Will Smith Reveals His Heart 'Shattered' When son Jaden Confirmed To be.

The picture associated with the posts showed Will crying next to a photo of a candle and the letters"RIP" and words"rest in peace.""Is it true that Jaden Smith is dead?," one Facebook user posted.We also found users who claimed Jaden Smith had died in an"accident." This was similar to something else that we noticed. We typed Jaden's name in the Facebook search bar.

Some of these hoaxes led to fake online news websites much like the one for Jaden, which showed scammy ads that asked users to install various kinds of software. One of those pieces of software was Adobe Flash Player, a product that wasin 2020. Some of these ads appeared to contain malware that could infect reader's devices. We strongly discourage visiting any of the websites that result from these kinds of death hoaxes.

In addition to the Facebook posts that falsely claimed Jaden was dead, we also noticed the same thumbnail image of Will Smith and the"rest in peace" candle associated with a YouTube video. That video was embedded at the bottom of the aforementioned scammy articles that may have contained malware-filled ads.
