Kelly Osbourne defends racial slur made on live US chat show

KELLY Osbourne landed herself in hot water when she made what looked like a racial slur on US chat show The View, this week.

The 30 year old made the slur during a conversation about Donald Trump, in which Kelly slammed his comments on immigration.

But, instead of getting across what she actually meant to say, Sharon Osbourne's daughter made herself look a little silly.

Kelly said: "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet, Donald Trump?"

Her words were not only taken the wrong way by her fellow panellists, but the American public too, receiving huge backlash for the slip up.

And now, Kelly has released a statement in which she expressed a desire to take responsibility for her "poor choice of words".

"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 apologise for being a racist as I am NOT.

"I whole-heartedly f****d up today. I don't want to b******t 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*****g toilets," she wrote in the Facebook status.
