Her comments come after her other co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie Perez, Michelle Collins and Raven-Symoné began discussing Trump and his lead in recent polls.
Immediately after Osbourne's comment, her co-hosts can be heard reacting in disapproval off-screen to what she said. Once she realized her co-hosts were not agreeing with her, Osbourne began backtracking her comments.
"Latinos are not the only people to do that," Perez told her.
"Come on, you know I would never mean it like that," Osbourne said.
Osbourne's comment was a response to Perez saying Trump's comments are not helping the current immigration situation in the United States.
"There are a lot of Latinos here in this country that do agree that the immigration problem is a problem and it does need to be addressed and it does need fixed," Perez said, who is of Puerto Rican descent. "But, making those comments, those racist comments, do not help."
Later in the day, Osbourne posted an apology to Facebook, writing "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."
Perez also tweeted an apology to Osbourne, writing, "My apologies @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong-#Trump #Latinos. My bad. You're heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you."

I feel bad for her tbh, I don't think she meant it in a malicious way. Still a silly thing to say though.
