Charlie Sheen is facing a massive backlash after he took to social media to pray Donald Trump would be the next celebrity to die.

His tweet, which read, 'Dear God; Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please! Trump next, please!,' was shared just hours after it was announced Debbie Reynolds had died.

The post caused fury among those mourning the actress, with users calling him a 'scumbag and a 'useless cockroach'.

One Twitter user said: 'A total scumbag wishing someone dead on Twitter.

'Your contribution to humanity is what, exactly, Charlie Sheen.

'Useless cockroach living off daddy.'

Another simply pointed out that the 51-year-old actor 'has no chill' while others took a more drastic stance urging police to arrest Sheen and some even returned his death wish, saying he is the celebrity that should die next.

One woman pondered how much of a backlash there would have been had Sheen wished death upon Barack Obama rather than the President-elect.

The tweet was posted an hour after news began to circulate about the death of much-loved Hollywood actress Debbie Reynolds.

She died on Wednesday a day after the death of her daughter, telling family before a suspected stroke: 'I want to be with Carrie'.

The 84-year-old was rushed from her son Todd's Beverly Hills home at around 1pm after falling ill while planning her daughter's funeral.

She died in hospital hours later.

Todd Fisher revealed on Wednesday evening how his mother had been shattered with grief since his sister's death the previous day.

On the morning of her death, she told him: 'I miss her so much, I want to be with Carrie,' according to TMZ.

Carrie Fisher, 60, died on Tuesday from complications which stemmed from a heart attack she suffered on Christmas Eve while flying to Los Angeles from London.

Sheen was accused by Craig Brittain of using the tragedy to attack the Republican.
