Kelly Osbourne addressed body shamers in a powerful message, revealing that her recent weight loss stems from grieving the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne.
“To those who think they’re being funny or clever with comments like, ‘Are you ill?’ or ‘Get off Ozempic,’ or ‘You don’t look right,’” she said in a social media clip featured on Wednesday’s episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored, “my dad just died, and I’m doing the best I can. Right now, the only thing I have to live for is my family. I choose to share the happy moments of my life, not the miserable ones.”
She concluded her heartfelt message with a firm rebuke: “So to all those people—f–k off.”
“My dad just died, and I’m doing the best I can. Right now, the only thing I have to live for is my family,” Kelly Osbourne said.
Her father, Ozzy Osbourne, passed away in July at the age of 76 after a private battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Kelly’s message was echoed by her mother, Sharon, who spoke with Piers Morgan about the legendary Black Sabbath rocker’s death.
“She’s right, you know. She can’t eat right now,” Sharon said. “[Online hate] is a shield for people who are unhappy.”
Kelly also took to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday to acknowledge the “many lovely, lovely, lovely comments from people” that have helped her navigate the difficult time following her father’s passing.
Kelly Osbourne’s mother, Sharon, also defended her daughter against body shamers, saying, “[Online hate] is a shield for people who are unhappy.”
Kelly, however, didn’t hold back in addressing the “grown ass women” leaving the majority of the “mean” and “brutal” comments, urging them to “take a strong, hard look at yourself.”
“What do you expect me to look like right now?” she said. “The fact that I’m getting out of bed, facing my life, and trying should be more than enough, and I should be commended for that.”
“Most of the things you’re saying about me are really about how you feel about yourself,” she added, calling out critics who label her as “ill” or compare her to photos of her 18-year-old self.
“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 fine when it’s not,” she continued.
The “View” alum revealed her drastic weight loss during an appearance on Tuesday night at Juliet Sear’s bakeware collection launch in London.

While showing off her trim physique, Kelly also debuted a new blonde hairdo. Channeling Marilyn Monroe, she styled her chin-length hair in voluminous, loose waves.
Throughout her more than two-decade-long career, Kelly has frequently addressed negative comments about her appearance. In May, speaking at Beacher Vitality’s Happy & Healthy Summit, she revealed that she received “more s–t” for her weight than she ever did for her past struggles with drug addiction.
In May, Kelly Osbourne revealed that she “got more s–t” for her weight than for her struggles with addiction, reflecting on the reality that “we live in a fat-phobic world.”
“We live in a fat-phobic world,” she told the audience.
“I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic … I’ve been a complete mess, disrespectful to people, horrible — but I got more s–t for being fat than I did for anything else. It’s insane,” she continued.
“People would say, ‘You’re so pretty. Why don’t you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you’ll be the total package?’”
