LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Zach Braff posted an apology on Twitter for comments he made about the outfit Pharrell Williams wore during his Grammy performance.

Braff, 39, was live-tweeting the award show when he compared the singer's Chanel bell boy costume, to the one he wears as a monkey in Oz the Great and Powerful.

After the tweet sparked backlash form those who thought the comparison was racist, Braff deleted the post and apologized.

I love Pharrell. I thought the outfit he wore was similar to that of my bell hop outfit in Oz. I apologize.
