Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is being criticized for posting a tweet about Philip Seymour Hoffman's death and referring to it as "stupid."

After the Supernatural star deleted his previous statement, he clarified with another tweet.
"I didn't mean PHS is stupid or that addiction isn't a reality. I simply meant I have a different definition of 'tragedy.'"
Padalecki added another tweet that read: "When I think 'tragedy,' I think of St. Judes, of genocide, of articles I read in the paper. But, yes, either way, a death is sad."
Yet, the actor's latest tweet didn't help the situation, it only added to even more critical responses.

On Jan. 29, the actor spoke about Justin Bieber's legal troubles and wrote: "Deport @justinbieber and save us from the constant douchebiebery!!! #signthepetition."
There is currently no official word on Hoffman's cause of death although he was reportedly seen with a needle next to his arm when he was found dead on Sunday morning from what is believed to be an overdose.
