Kelly Osbourne Breaks Her Silence After Facing Criticism Over Her Dramatic Weight Loss

In the wake of her legendary father's death, the grieving the star has found herself under a harsh spotlight — not for her loss, but for her appearance.

A visibly thinner Kelly Osbourne has become the target of brutal speculation — but now, the grief-stricken star is fighting back, with her fiercely protective mother Sharon by her side.

The internet exploded in whispers after the longtime TV personality stepped out looking dramatically different — her sharp cheekbones, gaunt frame, and sullen expression sparking accusations of Ozempic use and concern over her health.

But while the world watched in mourning as rock legend Ozzy Osbourne — her beloved father — was laid to rest, what many failed to grasp was this: Kelly was still deep in the grip of raw, private grief.

Now, with emotions running high and trolls out in full force, Kelly and her mother Sharon are unleashing a raw, unapologetic response to the cruel criticism — and they're not holding anything back.

'My Dad Just Died' — Kelly Osbourne Snaps Back at Body-Shaming Bullies

Appearing on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" on Wednesday, December 10, Sharon addressed the firestorm engulfing her daughter.

The host played a clip from Kelly's emotional Instagram Stories rant, where she directly confronted the onslaught of vile comments:

"To the people who keep thinking they're being funny and mean, writing comments like, 'Are you ill?' or 'Get off Ozempic!' or 'You don't look right' — my dad just died."

"And I'm doing the best that I can," she said. "The only thing I have to live for right now is my family. And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life, not the miserable side of my life. So to all those people, [expletive] off."

The rawness of her words was met with laughter from Morgan, who smirked and declared, "That is an Osbourne!"

Sharon Defends Her Daughter: 'She Can't Eat Right Now'

When Piers turned to Sharon for her take on the clip, the no-nonsense matriarch stood by her daughter's side.

"She's right. You know, she's right," Sharon affirmed. "And if she's happy that she can't eat — well, she's not happy, she's lost her daddy, she can't eat right now."

As for the online tormentors relentlessly attacking Kelly's appearance? Sharon didn't mince words, "It's a shield for people that are unhappy."

'What Do You Expect Me to Look Like Right Now?'

But Kelly wasn't done speaking her truth.

That same day, she returned to Instagram Stories to share a series of deeply personal videos — still reeling from the loss of her father, and still stunned by the cruelty of strangers.

"First, I want to start by saying I received so many lovely, lovely messages from people that have really helped me get through this time in my life since losing my father," she began.

"But I also received some disgusting, horrible, mean, brutal comments. And I'm just here, sat like — what do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now?"

"The fact that I'm getting out of bed and facing my life and trying should be more than enough and I should be commended for that."

Kelly Confronts the Critics: 'Take a Hard Look at Yourself'

Kelly then turned the mirror on her detractors.

"To everyone who is leaving these comments, you need to take a strong, hard look at yourself because most of the things you're saying about me is how you feel about yourself," she said.

In another heartbreakingly honest video, she added, "You say that I look ill. Well I am ill right now. My life is completely flipped upside down. I don't understand why people expect me to bounce back and look like everything is just fine in my life when it's not."

Women Who Should Know Better — The Most Devastating Betrayal

Kelly saved her most devastating observation for last — one that cut deeper than any anonymous insult. She revealed her heartbreak over the fact that many of the cruelest comments came from other grown women — those she had hoped would show compassion, not contempt.

"Women that say they're counselors, women that are mothers, women who look like they have weight struggles of their own, and it's absolutely devastating that women can't support other women," she lamented.

"They'd rather tear them down when their dad just died. It's disgusting and I've had enough of it. So, go [expletive] yourself," she concluded.

Her pain was palpable. Her fury? Justified.

Kelly's emotional posts were sparked by a surge in online backlash that escalated after her recent public appearances over the weekend and earlier this week drew sharp, unforgiving attention.

As we previously reported, the former singer reappeared on Sunday, 7 December, in a seemingly innocent video meant to promote a new children's book. But instead of warm reactions, the clip ignited a firestorm over her noticeably changed face and concerningly thin frame.

In the video, Kelly is seen sitting beside author Michela Carbosiero and an adorable pup in a red hoodie, reading a passage from her new book, "The Dog with No Fur."

Kelly wore a sleek all-black outfit — a fitted turtleneck with matching trousers — and her platinum-blonde hair styled in voluminous retro waves. Her minimalist look was topped off with gold-accented black leather shoes and diamond earrings.

This is far from the first time Kelly has made headlines over her evolving look.

But it wasn't the fashion or the book that grabbed the internet's attention. It was her face. Comment sections were flooded with alarm and speculation.

"Omg please put the weight back on!" one person begged. "Why is her face like that 😳," another questioned. "She's got Ozempic face BAD! 😢" a third declared. "She looks older than her mother," someone else added.

While many piled on with harsh criticism, others expressed deep concern for Kelly's well-being.

"More worried about your health...." one commenter shared. "😢Heartbreaking how unwell she looks," another wrote. "Wow she looks staved so sad 😢😢 [sic]," a third observed.

Just two days later, on Tuesday, 9 December, Kelly stepped out again — this time at Fortnum & Mason for the launch of Juliet Sear's bakeware line — and the scrutiny only intensified.

She wore a sharply tailored grey ensemble with a crisp button-up shirt tucked into high-waisted trousers, paired with layered necklaces and black strappy heels. Yet the buzz wasn't about the outfit — it was about how drastically her appearance had changed.

This is far from the first time Kelly has made headlines over her evolving look. Back in 2023, amid ongoing rumors about cosmetic procedures, she addressed the speculation head-on during an interview with DailyMail.com — alongside her mother, Sharon Osbourne.

"I've never had any procedure like plastic surgery," she told the outlet. "There are things that I definitely want to do when I get older, but I'm too scared aren't I?"

Sharon, never one to hold back, jokingly interjected, "Oh, she's a coward! A wuss!"

"I've done Botox, that's it," Kelly admitted. She said the backlash began after she lost weight — and that it frustrated her deeply.

"It's weird, because now that I've lost weight, everybody is criticizing and trying to figure out what it is that I've done, and I really just lost weight. It's just the shape of my face!" she insisted.

Kelly has always been open about undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, calling it one of the "best decisions" of her life — but she slammed those who tried to discredit her success.

"There's this whole thing about it, 'Well you didn't do it the right way.' There is no right way," she said. "The road to happiness is different for everybody, and I think that instead of picking apart the journey, they should just be happy that you reached your destination."
