Danny DeVito's daughter said she received messages asking if her father was having a stroke after he tweeted out-of-context quotes from their show "Little Demon."

Last year, DeVito and his 39-year-old daughter Lucy starred together in the adult animated sitcom "Little Demon." When the series first aired, DeVito decided to live-tweet quotes from the series.

However, the actor did not add any hashtags to indicate his tweets were quotes from the show, leaving fans confused as he posted tweets such as, "Get ready for some Hot Sauce."

In now-deleted tweets, DeVito also shared more explicit quotes from the show, including, "I'd rather fist a dog than be in a relationship. Piss my pants!" and "Peepeeepoopoo. Let's head over there and boil their firs born alive." 

During a joint appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden" Tuesday night, DeVito and Lucy explained how the incident came about.

"First of all, I must say I'm technically impaired," the 78-year-old actor said, referring to his ignorance when it comes to using social media. "So I don't know that you're supposed to tag everything. I was getting into the show and I just started texting lines from the show."

Lucy then corrected her father that he was "tweeting."

After Corden showed the tweets to the audience, Lucy added: "My friends were texting me like, 'Is your father having a stroke? What is wrong with him?'"

At the time, DeVito eventually explained the out-of-context tweets, saying: "Everyone on the a west coast wondering if I'm insane. Watch Little Demon at 10 PM tonight on FXX or tomorrow on Hulu . All your questions will be answered."

Also in the interview with Corden, Lucy was asked about the perks of having celebrity parents. Lucy said that she got to meet Leonardo DiCaprio after he became famous for starring in "Romeo + Juliet."

"I was a big fan of 'Romeo + Juliet' growing up and had a thing for Leo," Lucy recalled. "[Danny] knew it and he said to me over dinner one night, 'You wanna meet him.' And I think I literally threw my chicken parmesan at his face. And he took me and my sister to a party where we met Leonardo DiCaprio."

Lucy continued: "Leo knew that we liked him and we're these little girls and he gave us a peck on the cheek. It was a big deal."

DeVito added that DiCaprio used to play video games at his house when he was younger.

"Little Demon" is available to watch on FXX and Hulu.
