Kelly Osbourne has found herself in the middle of a pretty hot button topic. When the former star of Fashion Police appeared on The View, she spoke out about Donald Trump's stance regarding Latinos and it didn't sit well with the other women on the panel. The star was trying to point out to co-hosts Raven Symone, Rosie Perez and Michelle Collins what was wrong with the presidential hopeful's opinions regarding immigration and it seems like she sparked a racial debate.

Us Weekly is reporting on the incident saying that Kelly found herself immersed in the middle of a racial controversy after she made a comment about Trump insulting the Latino community.

"If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilets, Donald Trump," the guest host said on the show.

Two of the stars of the ABC series, Rosie and Raven, were immediately uncomfortable with the comment, which was noticeable for viewers to see. Perez got involved in the incident saying, "Oh, that's not... No."

"I didn't mean it like that, come on," Kelly stated. "I would never mean it like that. I'm not part of this argument."

Kelly soon became the person that was targeted by some members of the cast, but it seemed that newcomer Michelle Collins understood what Osbourne was trying to say and explained it to the other ladies on the panel.

"I think what you're saying is that Trump himself probably relies on a lot of these people he's insulting," Collins said of Osbourne.

Perez apologized to Osbourne on the air saying that she misunderstood where she was coming from, but she also took to her Twitter to clear the air again.

"My apologies @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong- #Trump #Latinos," the start wrote. "My bad. You're [sic] heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you."

UPDATE: Kelly has since apologized for the misunderstanding on her Facebook page, writing,

"I want to start by saying I ALWAYS take responsibility for my actions. In this particular case I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words but I will not apologize for being a racist as I am NOT," Osbourne writes. "I whole-hearted f***** up today. I don't want to b******* anyone with lame excuses. Although, I was stopped mid-sentence by Rosie and couldn't finish my point I will not let Rosie take responsibility for my words. I should have known better as I was on 'The View' and it was live. I've learned a very valuable lesson. It is my hope that this situation will open up a conversation about immigration and the Latin community as a whole. By the way I clean my own f****** toilets."
