Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell prove they're still alive after TV set gunfire [photo]

Reports of the death of actor Don Cheadle have been greatly exaggerated. Gang-related gunfire broke out yesterday around the South Central Los Angeles set of “House of Lies,” which Cheadle and actress Kristen Bell were working on together. Last night, the pair took to Twitter to joke about Cheadle’s premature obits.

I am like 99% sure he’s not dead…wait a min… #zombiedon @IamDonCheadle pic.twitter.com/JVLnmlICIN

I’m sitting right next to him, he’s definitely not dead. “@IamDonCheadle: Holy sh*t, I’m dead (TMZ)”

— Kristen Bell (@KristenBell) November 16, 2013

Holy. Schnikies. “@BuffyLord: @IMKristenBell @IamDonCheadle maybe you both are?”

It’s “House of Lies” meets “The Walking Dead.”

@IMKristenBell are you confirming twitter works in the afterlife or did you set up hootsuite for this exact reason. #savekristenbell

All kidding aside, we’re glad the cast is safe.
