Kelly Osbourne called out certain celebrities for allegedly using the victims of the Los Angeles wildfires to “get attention.”
“Is it just me being my usual cynical self or is it really disturbing to see all of these celebrities using other people’s pain and suffering as a photo op to say, ‘Look I’m helping, I’m doing this, I’m doing that?’” she said in a since-deleted Instagram video, which was reposted to TikTok Wednesday.
“I don’t believe you help so that you can get attention for helping. I believe you just help because you want to,” Osbourne added.
The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne went on to say that she is perplexed by how some A-listers have responded during the disaster in California.
“I’m so confused. I think it’s so wrong,” Kelly, 40, continued. “No one asked you to come out and give hugs. Go home.”
Although the “Fashion Police” alum didn’t name any specific celebrities, fans were quick to assume she was referring to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
“well said meghan and Harry brought a full film crew with them for there [sic] own benefit PR stunt,” one person claimed in the comments.
“So you mean Megan [sic] and Harry? Yes yes yes and Jennifer Garner prolly,” another used added.
On Monday, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, was seen in footage paying a visit to the Altadena Teen Girls headquarters where she volunteered and donated clothes and beauty products to those affected by the Eaton Fire.
She and Harry, 40, also paid a visit to the Pasadena Convention Center last week where they were photographed hugging and consoling people who were displaced by the fires.
In light of the wildfires in her hometown of LA, the former “Suits” actress also postponed the release of her Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan.”
Kelly isn’t the first to blast stars for seeking a “photo op” during the crisis as “Family Ties” alum Justine Bateman also directly slammed the royal couple on social media.
“Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a repulsive ‘photo op’ they achieved,” she wrote via X on Saturday, before labeling them “disaster tourists.”
In response to Bateman’s remarks, a source told Page Six that Markle and Harry thought the claims were “offensive.”
“Meghan was born and raised in Los Angeles so this is, and always will be, home to her,” the insider added. “Her heart is completely broken for all the lives that have been lost and for those whose homes have been destroyed in these fires.”
Others stars who have been helping the wildfire victims include Jennifer Garner, Jessica Alba and Bethenny Frankel.
Some of Hollywood’s elite have also offered support by making donations. Jamie Lee Curtis donated $1 million to a relief fund while Beyoncé’s BeyGOOD charity foundation pledged $2.5 million.
Kim Kardashian has donated items from her Skims clothing line, while Jennifer Lopez donated items from her own closet.
