Pop up on iphone 6 screen that says iphone has a virus?

Hi, i was surfing the web on my iphone 6, then all of a sudden I clicked on something, it opened another window/tab and then a pop up read "
Your iphone has a virus" i then clicked OK, so it redirected me to a page that said, "you have 5 minutes to get rid of the virus or all of your data will be gone. Click to remove virus" so I just closed all my tabs and restarted my phone instead of clicking on it, because it seemed suspicious. Should I be worried that I will lose my data or my phone is being hacked? I'm kinda scared. What can i do? Or was it nothing to worry about?
Thanks!
