How to draw error icon with css only,exactly like in the image

Question

Im trying to do the following x icon, exactly the way it is in here:

So here is the html:

<div class='error-circle'>
    <div>X</div>
</div>

And here is the css:

.error-circle{
    width: 70px;
    height: 70px;
    background: #990000;
    border-radius: 100px;
    border: 4px solid white;
    color: white;
    font-size: 45px;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding-left: 17px;
}

It's close, but i really need the same result as the image (without the background), I think the X should not be the x character but two lines crossed one on the other, How should i achieve this result?

A real draw would look like this

*{box-sizing: border-box}
:root{background: #ccc}
div{
    width: 150px;
    height: 150px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    position: relative;
    margin: 40px auto;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px white
}

div:before, div:after{
    content: ''; 
    position:absolute;
    width: 20px;
    height: 100px;
    left: 64px;
    top: 25px;
    background: white
}
div:before{
    transform: skew(28deg)
}
div:after{
    transform: skew(-28deg);
}

<div/>

If you want it to look more real add some shadow

*{box-sizing: border-box}
:root{background: #ccc}
div{
    width: 150px;
    height: 150px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    position: relative;
    margin: 40px auto;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px white, 0 0 24px 12px #B3B3B3, inset 0 0 16px 1px #B3B3B3;
}

div:before, div:after{
    content: ''; 
    position:absolute;
    width: 20px;
    height: 100px;
    left: 64px;
    top: 25px;
    box-shadow: 0 0 16px 1px #B3B3B3;
    background: white
}
div:before{
    transform: skew(28deg)
}
div:after{
    transform: skew(-28deg);
}

<div/>

The same result with a red background

*{box-sizing: border-box}
:root{background: #ccc}
div{
    background: red;
    width: 150px;
    height: 150px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    position: relative;
    margin: 40px auto;
    box-shadow: 0 0 0 10px white, 0 0 24px 12px #B3B3B3, inset 0 0 16px 1px #B3B3B3;
}

div:before, div:after{
    content: ''; 
    position:absolute;
    width: 20px;
    height: 100px;
    left: 64px;
    top: 25px;
    box-shadow: 0 0 16px 1px #B3B3B3;
    background: white
}
div:before{
    transform: skew(28deg)
}
div:after{
    transform: skew(-28deg);
}

<div/>

Now you are ready to use transform: scale(.5,.5); on div to have multiple sizes
