Ariana Grande has apologised to fans after making a joke about JonBenet Ramsey.
Ariana commented on a pals picture, which showed a stack of magazines carrying JonBenet’s image.
“Cant WAIT for this to be your Halloween look” she appeared to write, in a screenshot captured by social media users.
Wait WHAT?? an 8-year-old girl who was violently killed, strangled and suffocated cannot be anyone’s costume… pic.twitter.com/MwaAXavyBE

Many were unhappy with the singer’s joke, and Ari soon deleted the comment.
“Yeah no i deleted it very quickly and understand that it’s not at all funny,” she replied to a follower.
“This was out of pocket and i sincerely apologize.”

However, fans claim that the comment was not deleted “quickly,” and that it remained visible for 24 hours.
JonBenet was murdered in her home Boulder, Colorado in 1990 when she was aged just six years old.
Her murderer has never been caught, and the mystery has been the topic of many documentaries since.
