Kelly Osbourne has hit back at online commentary about her body after appearing at the Brit Awards in Manchester on Saturday, where she joined her mother Sharon Osbourne to accept a lifetime achievement award on behalf of her late father, Ozzy Osbourne. By Sunday, the attention had shifted from the tribute itself to Kelly Osbourne's appearance, with social media users fixating on her weight and fuelling speculation about her health.
For context, the backlash followed a deeply personal public appearance for Osbourne, whose father died last summer of a heart attack at 76 after a career that helped define heavy metal. She had gone on stage to honour him, yet much of the reaction online was not about Ozzy Osbourne's legacy at all.
