Country legend Loretta Lynn fractures her hip
The singer is doing well and thanking fans on her website for their thoughts and prayers.
Loretta Lynn hit back at rumors she's in ill health using her sense of humor.
After a tabloid reported that the "Coal Miner's Daughter" singer was near death, Lynn, 87, responded with a video on her Facebook page.
Scrolling through the report on her iPad in the clip, Lynn scoffed, “Hey, this says I’m in a nursing home and I’m on my deathbed. You’re kidding me! I’m not dead and neither is Willie [Nelson]! Both of us are coming back to life and we’re gonna raise hell.”

Lynn referred to reports that fellow country legend Willie Nelson, 86, was ailing.
She captioned the video, “Well, through the years they’ve said I’m broke, homeless, cheating, drinking, gone crazy, terminally ill, and even dead! Poor things can’t ever get it right. I guess if those old pesky tabloids are harassing me then they’re giving someone else a break……but I’m about an inch from taking ’em to Fist City! #raisinghell #yourmommashouldataughtyoubetter #tellthetruth #fistcity #trashtalkingtabloids #fakenews #liarliarpantsonfire.”
