Kelly Osbourne Trashes Celebs Using LA Fires As A Photo Op: ‘Go Home’
Kelly Osbourne had some strong words for celebrities who appear to be using the destructive fires in the Los Angeles area as a photo op or to draw attention to themselves.
The daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne didn’t name names, but she did express her thoughts with a social media post.
“Ok, I have a question. Is it me being my normal overthinking 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,” Osbourne said in a video reposted to TikTok on a Kelly Osbourne fan account on Wednesday. The 40-year-old former reality star had initially posted the video on her Instagram account but later deleted it.
She continued, “I don’t believe you help because you get attention for helping, I believe you help because you want to. I’m so confused. I think it’s so wrong. No one asked you to come out and give hugs, go home.”
Even though she doesn’t specify who her comments are directed at, commenters on TikTok speculate she might have been referring to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have caught heat for being photographed at the Pasadena Convention Center, which is being used as a refuge for people who were evacuated. The Duchess of Sussex was seen wearing a mask and baseball cap while handing out food and hugging victims.
“Well said,” one commenter wrote. “Meghan and Harry brought a full film crew with them for [their] own benefit… PR stunt.”

“So you mean Megan and Harry? Yes yes yes,” another agreed.
Actress Justine Bateman blasted Harry and Meghan on social media last week for acting like what she described as “disaster tourists.”
The “Family Ties” alum shared on X, “Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers. What a repulsive ‘photo op’ they achieved. They are ‘touring the damage’? Are they politicians now? They don’t live here; they are tourists. Disaster Tourists.”
Bateman lives in the Hollywood Hills, which has been affected by the wildfires. Meanwhile, Harry and Markle live in Montecito, about 80 miles from the Palisades and Hurst fires.
A recent Page Six report says the royal pair is “offended” by Bateman’s comments, according to an unnamed source.
