Kelly Osbourne today faced an online backlash after she attempted to challenge Donald Trump’s offensive remarks towards Latin Americans.
The Fashion Police host made an appearance on American panel show The View where presidential candidate Trump's views on Latinos were being discussed.
In an attempt to criticise the business man, Osbourne said: "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?"

After a shocked reaction from her fellow presenters including Raven Symoné and Rosie Perez - who told her that "Latinos are not the only people who clean toilets" - she tried to clarify her point.
"No, I didn't mean it like that! Come on! I would never mean it like that! I'm not part of this argument," she said.
Viewers were quick to criticise Osbourne with one user tweeting: “Kelly Osbourne seriously chose the worst words to explain Trump's conflict directed towards Mexicans.. Smh.”

Others accused her of being racist, posting: “This Kelly Osbourne thing is an example of how liberal racism feels superior to right wing racism but is still just regular ol' racism...”
Another wrote: “Racism is alive and real on day time tv @KellyOsbourne @TheView are you serious!?!?!?!?! Proof it is still alive and during daytime TV smh.”
