Sharon Stone has apologized again for her controversial comments about the Chinese earthquake.

The ‘Basic Instinct’ star - who suggested the devastating natural disaster in the Sichuan province on May 12 was "karma" for the Chinese government’s treatment of Tibet - issued another apology on Wednesday following her original statement of regret last week.

In her latest backtrack, she said: "There have been numerous reports about what I said in Cannes. I would like to set the record straight about that I feel in my heart and end all of the misunderstandings.

"Yes, I misspoke. I could not be more regretful of that mistake. It was unintentional. I apologize, those words were never meant to be hurtful to anyone. I am deeply saddened by the pain that this whole situation has caused the victims of the devastating earthquake in China."
