Kelly Osbourne has revealed she was ‘so sick’ after her father Ozzy Osbourne died, but she is now ‘doing a lot better’.
The 41-year-old star was left devastated when the rocker passed away in July 2025, and has now addressed the endless criticism she faced over her weight loss in the months since, admitting she was ‘not feeling well’ but has received help and support.
When asked how she dealt with the speculation and body-shaming, she told Britain HELLO! magazine: ‘I didn’t navigate through it – it didn’t go well for me…
‘How can you deal with something so cruel when you are so sick? I’m doing a lot better. I have all the help I need and I am grateful for the support I have in my life.
‘[I have] this incredible team of people that I have built around me and who are not just my friends, because what you will discover when you grieve is that people don’t know how to cope, and you lose a lot of friends…

“But the ones that stick around are the real ones.”
Kelly – who split from Sid Wilson, the father of her three-year-old son Sidney, earlier this year – believes “a part of” herself died when Ozzy passed away and she will never be the same.
She said: ‘It’s been the hardest year of my life. I will never be the person I was before my father died. Part of me died too.
‘Everything is different. I am different. Everything has changed, but you have to take it one day at a time and put the pieces back together in a way that you think will work.”
The former Fashion Police star noted that she has had to spend a “lifetime working on herself” but has found therapy very helpful.
She said: ‘It’s one foot in front of the other.
‘You have to fix the head before you can fix the body. It’s a slow process. It takes a while. I won’t be ready in a day…

‘I don’t get fixated on one therapy session. This is a lifetime of work that I have to do and continue to do for the rest of my life.
‘It’s great to discover things about yourself [in therapy]and the reasons why I do certain things that stem from my childhood…
“You go all the way back and you say, ‘Oh my God, that’s why I do that…’
“That’s crazy.” I’m getting to know myself in a whole new way, but it’s a lot healthier, I can tell you that.’
