How Do I Get Twitter To Restore My Account?

My account has been hacked.  The password and email have been changed.  I can't log into the account.  Twitter says my email account doesn't exist any more.  How do I contact Twitter to restore my account to me?  Everything I see requires I log into my twitter account which I can't do.  I have over 8k followers which i do not want to lose. I cannot find any way to contact twitter without logging into my account which I cannot do.

They'll work with you to verify it is your account and restore it rather quickly.

Your account has probably been deactivated which means it cannot be restored. You are going to have to create a whole new account.
