LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Singer Kelly Osbourne is not mincing any words when it comes to criticizing a recent trend in Hollywood. The daughter of Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne spoke out against celebrities using the LA wildfires as an opportunity to get a 'photo op'. 

She was presumably referring to how celebrities like Meghan Markle have been photographed meeting those affected by the disaster or others like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Lopez, Perez Hilton and Halle Berry who have announced aid, offered clothes or funds for those hit by the fires.

Taking to social media, Osbourne criticized public figures who, in her view, were leveraging the disaster —  which has destroyed thousands of homes and claimed several lives — for personal gain.

While she didn't name names, speculation quickly spread online, with some suggesting that Markle and Garner — both of whom have been publicly involved in relief efforts — could be among those targeted by Osbourne's comments

Kelly Osbourne recently slammed celebrities for using the LA fires as a "photo op" in a new social media post, according to DailyMail.

In a now-deleted video, Osbourne criticized the actions of some celebrities, saying, “Is it me being my usual cynical self or is it really disturbing seeing these celebrities using other people's pain and suffering as a photo op to say I'm helping, I'm doing this, I'm doing that.”

She continued to express her disapproval, adding, “I don't believe you help because you get attention for helping, I believe you help because you want to.”

Osbourne ended her message by saying, “I'm so confused, I think it's so wrong, no-one asked you to come out and give hugs, go home.”

Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted handing out food parcels to those affected by the fires at the Pasadena Convention Center in Los Angeles, which is serving as an evacuation center. 

They were also seen hugging Jose Andres, the founder of World Central Kitchen, which is providing free hot meals to both the public and emergency crews.

Not only have many people lost their homes in the fire, but several celebrities have also lost their homes and belongings in the devastation.
