If you've been on Twitter over the last few days, there have been quite a few targeted Twitter hacks aimed at celebrities and other major accounts.

From Lana del Rey tweeting that "Bush did 911," to Kylie Jenner posting, "my sex tape with Tyga was trash," Katy Perry calling people derogatory names and the several unlikely death announcements, we've all been really confused.

However, we can now rest (somewhat) easily as Twitter is aware of the problem, issuing a statement to E! News on Wednesday.
