Like, yeah, people are gonna die. Which is terrible, but like – inevitable?”

One day after saying it’s “inevitable” people will die from the pandemic on Instagram Live, Hudgens tweeted the following statement: “I’m sorry for the way I have offended anyone and everyone who has seen the clip from my Instagram live yesterday. I realize me words were insensitive and not at all appropriate for the situation in our country and the world are in right now. This has been a huge wake up call about the significance my words have, now more than ever. I’m sending safe wishes to everyone to stay safe and healthy during this crazy time.”
