Meghan Markle and Prince Harry appear to suffer fresh dig over media coverage surrounding their Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been actively supporting victims by distributing supplies and making donations.
Former “Family Ties” star Jane Bateman labelled the couple “disaster tourists” after they were photographed distributing food and supplies to victims outside the Pasadena Convention Center.
Kelly Osbourne has now condemned celebrities for seeking media coverage of the efforts to help during the wildfire crisis.
The daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne did not name any celebrities during her rant.

She said in a video posted on social media: “Is it just 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?’ I don’t believe you help so that you can get attention for helping. I believe you just help because you want to.”
She added: “No one asked you to come out and give hugs. Go home.”
Users commenting on the video speculated that Osbourne was speaking about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Earlier this week, a source close to the couple slammed Bateman’s public criticism of their efforts to help.
“It’s offensive to Meghan and Harry that anybody would think this is merely a photo opportunity,” a source told Page Six.
The source emphasised that Meghan, who was born and raised in Los Angeles, considers the city “home” and is heartbroken over the devastation.
The couple have “invested significant time and resources” and made donations of money and essential items.
The source added: “They have dedicated countless hours to volunteering, long before the media even caught wind of their involvement.”
The Duchess of Sussex has postponed the release of her Netflix series which was scheduled for January 15 until March 4 due to the ongoing wildfire crisis in California.

The Duchess of Sussex has postponed the release of her Netflix series which was scheduled for January 15 until March 4 due to the ongoing wildfire crisis in California.
A source told PEOPLE: “Delaying the release of With Love, Meghan was likely an easy decision for her.
“I don’t think she could imagine putting out a show centered on joy and hosting when so many people in her home state no longer have homes to host people in.
“I think it’s sad that critics are saying she’s only doing this to avoid the fires overshadowing her show. We’re all human, and we’re dealing with a catastrophe.”
