LOS ANGELES, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Kelly Osbourne may depart Fashion Police, she said Wednesday on Twitter.

The 30-year-old television personality said she is unsure if she should remain on the E! series, following co-host Giuliana Rancic's comments Monday about actress Zendaya's dreadlocks.

Rancic offended Zendaya by criticizing her hair and saying she must smell like "patchouli oil ... or weed." The K.C. Undercover star responded with a lengthy post on Instagram, declaring the remark "not only a large stereotype but outrageously offensive."

Osbourne tweeted her reaction Wednesday.

Rancic apologized to Zendaya after the episode aired, tweeting, "I'm sorry I offended you and others. I was referring to a bohemian chic look. Had NOTHING to do with race and NEVER would!!!" The actress did not issue a response, and Rancic apologized again Tuesday on E! News.

"I'd really like to address something that is weighing very heavy on my heart," Rancic began. "I didn't intend to hurt anybody, but I've learned it's not my intent that matters. It's the result ... I want to say to Zendaya, and anyone else out there that I've hurt, that I am so sincerely sorry."

Osbourne and Rancic have been with Fashion Police since its debut in 2010. The series chose to replace late co-host Joan Rivers with comedian Kathy Griffin and new panelist Brad Goreski. The show returned for a fifth season in January.
