Caitlyn Jenner has come under fire for claiming that her friends are leaving California over the sight of homeless people.
The Olympic gold medalist - who recently announced her run for California governor - has sparked major backlash for her comments about the state's long-running problem with homelessness.
Speaking from her private plane hangar, she told Fox News: "My friends are leaving California.
"My hangar, the guy right across, he was packing up his hangar and I said, where are you going? And he says, 'I'm moving to Sedona, Arizona, I can't take it here anymore. I can't walk down the streets and see the homeless'."
She added: "I don’t want to leave, okay? Either I stay and fight, or I get out of here."
Jenner's comment raised eyebrows on social media, with many fans hitting out at the former athlete for her bold remarks.
One Twitter user wrote: "It takes a lot of balls to own multiple mansions and an airplane hanger and still B***h about the homeless."
While another added: "I'll be honest, I was skeptical of Caitlyn Jenner's run for governor until I heard her plan to get rid of the homeless to aesthetically please private jet owners."
A third tweeted: "Has anyone checked on Caitlyn Jenner's hangar neighbor? Did he make it to Sedona, Arizona? Has he avoided seeing the homeless?"
Another social media user wrote: "Does Caitlyn Jenner realize that a large percentage of homeless people in LA are trans people who are forced to the brutal margins because they're not multi-millionaires like her."
