Kelly Osbourne is drawing a firm line with online critics after facing ongoing commentary about her recent weight loss. Still grieving the death of her father, legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly has made it clear that unsolicited remarks about her appearance are both hurtful and inappropriate during such a painful time in her life.
In the weeks following her father’s passing, fans noticed that the television personality appeared noticeably thinner. While many offered sympathy and support, others filled her social-media posts with speculation about her health, diet, and whether she had turned to medication to lose weight. Kelly responded directly, expressing frustration that people were focusing on her body rather than the emotional ordeal she is navigating.
According to Kelly, her weight change is not the result of a new program or a celebrity trend — it is simply a reflection of her grief. She has spoken honestly about struggling to eat consistently since losing her father, explaining that the emotional shock of his death has had a physical impact. She emphasized that grief affects people differently and that her priority is taking care of her family while coping in her own way.
Kelly’s mother, Sharon Osbourne, has also defended her daughter publicly. She has urged people to show compassion, pointing out that anyone who has lost a loved one knows how deeply trauma can affect daily routines, appetite, and overall wellbeing. Sharon stressed that what Kelly needs most right now is support, not scrutiny.
For Kelly, criticism about her appearance is hardly new. Since growing up in the public eye on The Osbournes, she has experienced decades of body-shaming, online bullying, and invasive commentary. But this time, she says, the timing makes the remarks especially hurtful. Losing a parent, she explained, is one of the most difficult experiences of her life — and navigating that loss while under a spotlight only adds to the emotional weight.
Despite the negativity, Kelly has also acknowledged the many fans who have reached out with love and kindness. Their messages, she said, have helped her through moments when the grief feels overwhelming. She hopes that speaking out will remind people that celebrities are human beings, and that compassion is always more powerful than criticism.
As she continues to mourn her father and adjust to life without him, Kelly is urging the public to stop focusing on her size and instead recognize the very real grief her family is experiencing. Her message is simple: everyone deserves empathy, especially in moments of profound loss.
