Help, My Facebook Account Got Hacked Into And Disappeared! I Need To Recover It!

My Facebook, Hotmail and Gmail accounts all got hacked yesterday. My Facebook account's default email add was changed to the hacker's, and after numerous password reset attempts (I did not get any email with the password reset code), I reached the limit. When I tried again the next day, I realised that my account had disappeared from Facebook. When I tried to sign up for a new account with my original email add (linked to my original Facebook account), I realised that there was nothing left in there and it is a completely new account. Is there any way I can get Facebook to restore my original account, which had disappeared?? The account contents are extremely important to me and contains 5 years worth of messages, contacts/friends, photos and memories :((( Please help!
