On Tuesday, Kelly Osbourne stuck her foot in her mouth while appearing as a guest co-host on "The View."

When discussing Donald Trump's recent controversial remarks about immigrants, Osbourne asked: "If you kick every Latino out of this country, then who is going to be cleaning your toilet Donald Trump?"

Osbourne tried to explain her comments by reasoning that Trump takes advantage of the same people he relies on in his daily life.

But the other co-hosts were not having it. Raven-Symone immediately objected to Osbourne's comments, and Rosie Perez snapped back: "Latinos are not the only people doing that."

Osbourne's remarks were quickly picked up and became a trending topic on Twitter in the United States and worldwide.

People were not happy:

Heading to the stadium early so that I can clean the toilets in the clubhouse! Right? @KellyOsbourne

But it's not. . . So have some fucking respect KELLY OSBOURNE, and don't flaunt your privilege before it's taken away.

.@KellyOsbourne, your comment about Latinos wasn't "racially insensitive." It was RACIST. Can you simply admit that without qualifiers?

According to Kelly Osbourne my future as a Latina is scrubbing toilets. So then why am I wasting time and money on a degree in Architecture?

But perhaps most upset by the remarks was former "View" co-host Sherri Sherphard:

"If you kick every Latino out Donald Trump then who is going to be cleaning your toilets?" @KellyOsbourne ... WTF! https://t.co/y2AaBBD1R0

To reduce a "latino" down to only being able2 clean toilets @KellyOsbourne - ask @TheRitaMoreno @CristinaOpina @GloriaEstefan their thoughts

Realizing her gaffe, Osbourne released an apology statement late Tuesday, saying "I will take responsibility for my poor choice of words":

Shepherd then eased up on Osbourne:

- Sherri Shepherd (@SherriEShepherd) August 4, 2015

It's okay @KellyOsbourne ... @GiulianaRancic did same ... sometimes we say dumb stuff & regret it but hope we have friends who understand

"The View" co-host Whoopi Goldberg defended Osbourne during Wednesday's show, saying that on live TV "you sometimes step in dog doo."

"The point she was actually trying to make," explained Goldberg, "is that Donald Trump's stance on immigration would only end up hurting the people that Donald Trump is counting on."

Co-host Rosie Perez also voiced her support for Osbourne, saying ast the end of the show: "Kelly Osbourne is on our side and I was sensitive. My disdain should go to only Donald Trump, so I'm sorry, darling." She also tweeted:

My apologies @KellyOsbourne, I took your point wrong-#Trump #Latinos. My bad. You're heart is so pure & righteous. I adore you. @TheView
- Rosie Perez (@rosieperezbklyn) August 4, 2015

Still, some people aren't buying it.

You can clean your own damn toilet...so disrespectful on so many levels "I'm sorry" isn't going to cut it this time @KellyOsbourne

In February, Osbourne quit the "Fashion Police" on E! after accusing co-host Giuliana Rancic of making another misinterpreted racist remark.
