“From the bottom of my heart, I apologise to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage – I’ve let the Jewish community down and it devastates me,” he added. “I don’t ask for anyone’s forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake.”
More recently, Osment has continued to act in television and film projects like Poker Face and Blink Twice.
In January, Osment’s sister Emily, also an actor, announced on her verified Instagram that he as well as their parents lost their homes in the Eaton wildfire that destroyed much of the Altadena neighborhood north of central Los Angeles.

CNN has reached out to Osment’s representative for comment.
