Avril Lavigne has released a statement of apology after clashing with paparazzi in Los Angeles last week.

A video currently making the rounds online shows Lavigne and her husband, Sum 41 front-man Deryck Whibley, pestering photographers as they get into an SUV.

Lavigne is shown spitting and laughing at the media throng from the inside of the car. According to reports, she also spat at photographers in a second incident.

Reuters reports that, in the statement, the pop singer says she “meant no offense” to fans, but stopped short of saying the same for the paparazzi.

She went on to say that her behaviour was “a reaction to the persistent attack from the paparazzi” and that “it’s trying, at best, dealing with their insistent intrusions.”
