Jackie Chan's son was arrested for marijuana possession earlier this week, and his movie star father has spoken up about the said drug bust. In an official statement published by TMZ, Jackie Chan said he is "very ashamed" of his son, Jaycee, and apologizes to the public for his behaviour.

According to a Daily Mail report, Jaycee Chan was reportedly arrested at his Beijing home for possession of more than 3.5 ounces of marijuana. Chinese police have confirmed the discovery of drugs at the home of Jackie Chan's son.

Arrested along with Jackie Chan's son was his friend Kai Ko, a 23-year-old Taiwanese movie star. The two also tested positive for marijuana use.

Jackie Chan's son Jaycee, 31, was born and raised in the U.S. He is also an aspiring actor and singer.

The martial arts expert Jackie Chan has released his official statement regarding Jaycee Chan's drug arrest through his official website, and the letter was published by TMZ.

"When I first heard the news, I was absolutely enraged," Jackie Chan said.

"As a public figure, I feel very ashamed; as his dad, I'm very sad and disappointed," the "Rush Hour" star admitted.

Jackie Chan added that "the person who feels heartbroken the most is (Jaycee's) mom."

The action star says his son's arrest should serve as a lesson to the youth. "I hope our younger generation will learn from Jaycee's mistake and stay far away from drug abuse," said Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan's son is still being supported by his movie star father in the middle of the drug issue. "I would like to take this opportunity and say to Jaycee: you've done something wrong and you have to be responsible for the consequences. I'm your dad and I'll always be with you. We will face the road ahead of us together."

The beloved martial arts star admits: "I should also take some of this responsibility because as his dad, I didn't teach him well."

Jackie Chan closed his official statement with an apology: "Therefore, on behalf of Jaycee and myself, I extend our deepest apologies to everyone for the negative impact this has caused on society. Thank you."
