Kelly Osbourne realized the physical toll of her father Ozzy Osbourne’s death after reviewing a photograph of herself during fittings for the Grammy Awards in February, according to an interview with The Mail on Sunday cited by People. The 41-year-old reality television personality stated she did not recognize her reflection, noting that her spine was visibly protruding and she looked like a “knust person” while grieving the late rock legend, who died at age 76.
Physical Toll and Media Scrutiny Following Ozzy Osbourne’s Death
The Grammy event required Kelly Osbourne to wear a wig to conceal her face, while her styling team searched for clothing that would not emphasize her dramatic weight loss. According to comments reported by People, she admitted regret over attending the tribute. “I was afraid. I wanted to be there to support my mother and honor my father’s legacy, but I don’t think I should have gone,” she said.
That physical transformation drew intense scrutiny online. According to Page Six coverage cited by Seher.no, followers on Instagram compared her thin appearance to a casket following her appearance at London Fashion Week. TV personality Sharon Osbourne defended her daughter on Piers Morgan Uncensored in December, stating that Kelly “has lost her father” and “cannot eat right now.”
Addressing Online Backlash and Social Media Comments
Kelly Osbourne addressed the critical comments directly through an emotional Instagram video, pushing back against online remarks regarding her weight and accusations about using medications like Ozempic. According to Seher.no, she told followers, “My dad just died. I’m doing the best I can. So to all of you: Fuck off.” In a subsequent Instagram story reported by the same outlet, she added that the online abuse was “motbydelige” and that no one deserves that type of treatment.
