Billiat, through his agent Godfrey \u2018Vokal\u2019 Bakasa, later released a statement rubbishing the social media report. The statement read:<\/p>\n

Bad journalism got people writing unverified and fake news! All in the name of click-baiting! Utterly disappointed with people who write and circulate fake stories especially about a kid\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

As grown-ups, we can do better. Kimberly Billiat is alive, the only harm that can come her way is the rubbish some adults post for hype.<\/p>\n

Adams has since issued a public apology to the Warriors and Kaizer Chiefs star for his initial post. He tweeted:<\/p>\n

Very sorry to everyone here for the news I tweeted about Khama Billiat and his daughter.<\/p>\n

I got the news from a very reliable source but there is no iota of truth.<\/p>\n

My apologies to Khama Billiat and his family and everybody who was affected and all South Africans.<\/p>\n
