Hollywood star Kelly Osbourne has publicly condemned malicious online comments targeting her appearance, speaking out amid her ongoing grief over the loss of her father, Ozzy Osbourne.
On March 1, local time, Osbourne took to her social media to post a heartfelt message, writing, “There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is already in pain.” Her statement was in response to recent comments criticizing her for being “excessively thin” following her appearance at the 2026 BRIT Awards.
Osbourne described this period as one of the most challenging of her life, criticizing online trolls who “kick me when I’m down, question my pain, and spread gossip about my struggles.” She added, “Such behavior does not prove strength—it only reveals a lack of compassion and character.”
Contrary to speculation, Osbourne’s significant weight loss is not due to dieting or medications like Ozempic. Sources confirm that she has been experiencing a severe loss of appetite as a result of grief over her father, who passed away from a heart attack in July last year. Sharon Osbourne, Kelly’s mother, publicly defended her daughter, urging the public to show understanding. “Kelly is not eating properly because of her grief,” Sharon said, appealing to those who judge others’ pain online to reflect on their actions.
Fans around the world have rallied behind the star, offering messages of support following her candid confession. Many highlighted the importance of empathy, reminding the public, “Do not judge others’ pain based solely on appearance” and “It’s too cruel to be harsh toward someone already struggling.”
