Here's one Oscar night Miley Cyrus will never forget. Unfortunately, it's not for all the right reasons.

Just before stepping out with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth to attend a couple of award show bashes on Sunday, the 19-year-old starlet was busy lashing out against a hater on Twitter who wished her...dead?!

"U have nothing better 2 do than hate?" Miley tweeted in response to hurtful remarks that she "dresses like white trash" and is "so f--king hideous."

"That saddens me," she added. "Im surrounded by love Im sorry 4 whatever happened 2 make u so bitter."

And while the alleged death threats have since been deleted, Miley's response to them remains up.

"I wont tolerate someone telling me 2 die," she wrote while insisting that "Twitter needs to take some responsibility and make it a safe environment."

Thankfully, the evening eventually turned out OK.

"Thank you Sir Elton John for such a lovely night!" Miley tweeted after departing the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party. "Now to Vanity Fair. I love all the glitz & glam of the oscars & celebrating such talent!"
