Selling Sunset's Amanza Smith has ignited an almighty backlash after she promoted a luxury hotel stay amid the devastating LA fires – prompting her to delete the post altogether. The 48-year-old luxury realtor took to Instagram on Tuesday where she promoted Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, telling her 1.3 million followers that her stay reminded her 'how meaningful it is to take step back and embrace life's simple joys.'.

She even made a point of referencing the LA fires, which at the time of writing has left 29 people dead and has destroyed an estimated 12,000 homes. In her now deleted post, Amanza shared images of a hotel room that featured two glasses of champagne, a bottle on ice, and a box of chocolates situated on a side table.
