KELLY OSBOURNE HAS apologised after causing outrage with a controversial comment about Latinos.
While discussing Donald Trump’s recent comments about Mexican immigrants on daytime talk show The View yesterday, Osbourne said:
Osbourne was immediately challenged by her co-host, Latina actress Rosie Perez, who said: “Latinos aren’t the only ones who do that.”
The comments caught fire on Twitter, with many people pointing out that Kelly herself is an immigrant:
Whoops!

She claimed she “couldn’t finish [her] point”, but said she “should have known better”:
“It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole,” she said.
“By the way I clean my own f**king toilets.”
