Kelly Osbourne attributed her drastic weight loss to her father Ozzy Osbourne's recent death.
Kelly Osbourne's appearance at the recent Grammys has reignited Hollywood's speculation about her weight. Friends and insiders close to her claim that she looks even skinnier in person than on camera, her increasingly emaciated frame alarming those who have known her for years.
'She looks even skinnier in person, it was scary,' one insider told The Daily Mail. 'It just does not look normal. I have known her for years and she has never looked like this before, not even close.'
Kelly Osbourne Addressed the Ozempic Allegations
Kelly has repeatedly clapped back against critics, dismissing allegations of Ozempic use in all her statements. 'I know everybody thinks I took Ozempic. I did not take Ozempic,' she told Extra in 2024. 'I don't know where that came from.'
In the aftermath of her father Ozzy Osbourne's death last year, Kelly also called out those obsessing over her weight. 'To the people who keep thinking they're being funny and mean by writing comments like 'Are you ill,' or 'Get off Ozempic, you don't look right' My dad just died, and I'm doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family,' she said in December. 'So to all those people, 'f--- off.''
Sharon Osbourne Called Out Kelly's Critics
Defending Kelly against the backlash, Sharon Osbourne asserted that her daughter was deeply in grief. 'She's right. She's lost her daddy, she can't eat right now,' she told Piers Morgan Uncensored.
'[The internet] is a shield for people that are unhappy,' she added. 'Jealousy and people's perception of somebody else — how many times have we been wrong about somebody because of our perception?... A lot of effort goes into [hurtful comments]. I feel sorry for people. There's something wrong with their lives. They're not happy.'
This March's BRIT Awards rekindled vitriol regarding Kelly's appearance, however. Social media was flooded with comments, many of which fixated on her face. Sharing screenshots of Instagram comments, Kelly said she 'can't believe how disgusting some human beings truly are,' Fox News reported.
One user wrote, 'Looks like a dead body... she's tooooo thin and fragile.... Looks like she's going to see her dad soon,' according to the outlet, while another stated, 'Ditch the ozempic, eat a burger.'
Kelly addressed the backlash in an Instagram Story, citing it as 'a special kind of cruelty.' 'Kicking me while I'm down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most,' she said, per People.
'None of it proves strength; it only reveals a profound absence of compassion and character,' she added. 'I'm currently going through the hardest time in my life. I should not even have to defend myself. But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanised in such a way!'
Kelly Osbourne Talks About Ozempic Use and Body Image
Kelly has been candid about her struggle with weight loss and body image. She confirmed having non-surgical skin-tightening treatments after giving birth to her son, Sidney. She had also attributed gestational diabetes to her pregnancy weight.
In 2024, Kelly voiced her support for people who take Ozempic for Type 2 diabetes treatment. 'I made some comments about Ozempic recently where it was like 50 per cent of the people hated it, 50 per cent of the people liked it,' she explained in The Osbournes Podcast. 'But the truth is, my opinion used to be the same as the people who didn't like it until I met somebody who lost weight from Ozempic and it changed their life.'
