LOS ANGELES: Model-actor Paris Jackson has apologised for her "insensitive" tweet in the wake of a mass shooting in Texas in which 26 people were killed.

"Why the f**k do people keep dying," the 19-year-old actor had posted on Twitter before the shooting incident in Texas.

The actor, however, apologised for her "insensitive" tweet and clarified that it was not related to the shooting incident.

"Whoa just now hearing about Texas, and realised how insensitive to the families my last tweet must seem... to clarify, that was about a friend," wrote Jackson.

"My heart is with everyone affected and in pain during this tragic time," she added.

A court-martialled former US Air Force airman armed with a powerful assault rifle sprayed bullets on worshippers at a Sunday service at a rural church in Texas, killing at least 26 people, including 12-14 children in the latest gun-related massacre to shock the country.
