Hayes Grier Assures Fans: I"m Okay!!!

Listen closely. Do you hear that sound?


It’s the sound of millions of young teenage girls letting out a sigh of relief.



How come?


BECAUSE HAYES GRIER IS OKAY, FOLKS!


The Internet sensation still has a long road to go before he is in prime physical condition, but the 16-year old used social media on Friday to assure fans that he’s up for the challenge.


On Thursday, Grier was involved in a serious dirt biking accident.


It’s unclear exactly what went down, except that the crash took place in North Carolina and Grier’s brother was VERY concerned soon after it went down.


He tries to keep fans apprised of his sibling’s condition, but the concern came through loud and clear from Nash Grier.


“He can move & talk (thank god) but he’s coughed up a lot of blood. That’s all I know,” Nash originally Tweeted, later adding:


“Praying he has a quick recovery… Damn I hate hearing s–t like that on the phone, scared me to death.”


But now Hayes has taken to Twitter to calm both his brother down and his legion of followers down.


“Doing good guys, little banged up but we’ll be alright. Part of having fun,” Grier wrote along with the photo above, which was obviously snapped of him in the hospital.


In a subsequent message on Twitter, he added: “thank you for the good wishes.”



In addition to his own social media, Hayes re-Tweeted a number of media reports about his crash.


Soon after word spread that Hayes had been injured, the hashtag “#PrayForHayes” proceeded to spread on Twitter.


It’s understandable why.


Just 16, Grier has amassed 3.53 million Twitter followers… 5.3 million Instagram followers… 4.4 million Vine followers … and 848,000 YouTube subscribers.


Hayes had been back home in North Carolina, filming his new comedic docs-series, “Top Grier,” when the accident occurred.


The program centers around him returning to Mooresville, where he attempts to run his family’s 19-acre farm.


It is schedule to consist of 12 half-hour episodes that can be viewed on Verizon’s Go90 via mobile devices.


He competed on Season 21 of Dancing with the Stars (see below) and made it to Week 7.


We wish him a speedy recovery!

Hayes Grier: Seriously Injured in Dirt Bike Accident

Hayes Grier has been hospitalized.


The Internet sensation, who is one of the most popular stars in Vine, got into a serious accident yesterday while riding his dirt bike.



News of the crash and of Grier’s tenuous condition was first made public in a Tweet by his brother, Nash Grier.


“Just got a call on set that said Hayes was in a crash. He’s now in the hospital,” Nash tweeted to his 5.63 million followers, adding the hashtag “#PrayForHayes” to his message.


It didn’t take long for this hashtag to go viral.


In follow-up a series of follow-up Tweets, Nash kept fans as informed as he could be, writing of his sibling:


“He can move & talk (thank god) but he’s coughed up a lot of blood. That’s all I know. Praying he has a quick recovery.


“Damn I hate hearing s–t like that on the phone, scared me to death.”


About an hour later, Nash actually shared a screenshot of a text exchange (which he captioned with “Phew”) with more specific news regarding Hayes’ health.


It’s unclear who was on the other side of the exchange, but it appears to be someone at the hospital and it reads as follows:


“Your brother is pretty busted up right now. Luckily no major stuff. All scans came back negative for any internal bleeding.


“He does have a concussion, fractured top two ribs and bruised lung on one side. He is in a lot of pain.”



Hayes Grier is only 16 years old.


But he sky-rocketed to Internet fame due to his Vine and YouTube videos.


At he moment, Grier has 3.53 million Twitter followers… 5.3 million Instagram followers… 4.4 million Vine followers … and 848,000 YouTube subscribers.


He competed on Season 21 of Dancing with the Stars.


He was the second-youngest contestant to ever appear on the show and he teamed with Emma Slater to reach Week 7.


A few hours after news of Grier’s crash went public, a rep for the famous teenager released the following statement to Us Weekly:


Earlier today, Hayes Grier was involved in a dirt bike accident and immediately transported to a local hospital.


Hayes suffered a concussion, broken rib, bruised lung, and multiple skin lacerations.


Thankfully, he is OK and currently resting and recovering in the hospital surrounded by his family, where he will remain for the next few days.


We can’t thank you all enough for the outpouring of prayers and support for Hayes!
