The Rocky actor fell victim to bogus claims on the internet earlier this week which said he had died after suffering from prostate cancer.
The 71-year-old actor took to his Instagram to post a light-hearted video of himself messing around with his two daughters Sophia, 21, and Sistine, 19, appearing to be outside their home.
Sylvester’s clip showed his girls running around outside in the cold, before he panned the camera back to himself and said: "That'll teach them."
He captioned the video: "Locking my daughters outside during a slight hail storm… It’s so great to be back from the dead!!!"

The Creep actor was forced to confirm that he wasn’t dead on his Twitter account after learning that many had believed the sick rumours.
In his tweets, he told his 2.76 million followers to ”ignore this stupidity" and confirmed he is "alive and well”.
He added: “Remember to always grab LIFE by the throat and do not let go until you succeed."
His younger brother Frank Stallone, 67, also took to his social media page to slam the false rumours in which he branded the trolls “sick people”.

The actor also questioned today’s society and ranted that “things must change”.

The film veteran first fell victim of a death hoax in 2016.
Facebook users reported seeing a fraudulent message on the social media in September 2016 which claimed Sylvester had been found dead at his LA home.
The false claims were later linked to a website known for creating and sharing celebrity death hoaxes.
