Sofia Richie, daughter of Lionel Richie and currently starring on Keeping Up With The Kardashians as Scott Disick's girlfriend, just caught a lot of heat for a post she made on Instagram.
The 21 year old model came into a new level of fame for briefly dating singer Justin Bieber, and then moving on to Kourtney Kardashian's ex-husband and father of her children, Scott Disick.
Disick himself is 36 years old, and the over-a-decade age difference between the couple lead to quite a few raised eyebrows and sarcastic tweets when they began dating.
Sofia has just got herself into a new controversy with her most recent Instagram post.
"Santa Ana winds- messy bun," she wrote alongside an emoji of a woman covering her hair.
People immediately began criticizing her as the Santa Ana winds helped spread the Getty wildfires happening in California right now.
"Santa ana winds means fires near you," another commenter added.
Many were criticizing her for being insensitive to the people who had to evacuate and potentially lose their homes.
"When I lived in California and there was a fire down the road I had to pack up all my animals and evacuate several times. I'm so upset every time I hear about fires. These celebrities don't seem to care about anything but themselves," another commenter wrote.
"Sending my love and prayers to everyone affected by the fires. Tonight's wind is going to be brutal. Please stay safe," she wrote alongside a cartoon of a broken heart.
Over top of a news report discussing the spreading fires in California, Sofia wrote "No!!!" and added a praying hands emoji as well.
At the time, Hurricane Dorian was ripping through the Bahamas, causing deaths and forcing evacuations throughout the islands.
She shared some shots of herself and her friends enjoying a Bahamian vacation with the caption "Esperando a Dorian,"meaning, "waiting for Dorian."
"Must be nice," wrote another commenter. "Here I sit wondering if I will have to evacuate, and will my pets be safe, will I have electricity soon after the storm. Very insensitive."
This one was captioned "Bye bye Dorian!" which to some felt like she was bragging about being able to leave the island, while some people were not able to.
What do you think? Are people being too sensitive, or should celebrities be more careful about what they're posting online?
