Api Gateway change default error response format?

Question

When I send request with wrong x-api-key, I get default response as

{
  "message": "Forbidden"
}

I can modify error response from lambda if it hits my lambda function. But in this case aws sends default error response.

I have different error format for my endpoint

{
  type:"error",
  "message":"...",
  "status":"...",
  "code":403,
  ...
}

Is there any way to change to above format?
