Kelly Osbourne Discusses Weight Gain and Grief After Father's Death

Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she has gained 30 pounds since her drastic weight loss, which drew significant attention following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne. Osbourne stated that she was taken aback by her appearance in photographs from a red carpet event in February.

In an interview with The Sun, Osbourne admitted, "I didn’t know that I looked like that until I saw the pictures. When I saw them, I couldn’t f—ing believe it. I was as shocked as everyone else." She clarified that her weight gain was not indicative of an eating disorder.

Osbourne explained that her difficulty with eating stemmed from her grief over her father's passing in July 2025. "Eating made me feel like I wanted to throw up," she said. "I just couldn’t do anything for myself." She recalled seeking comfort and connection with her father, even performing rituals like "candle magic" in an attempt to communicate with him.

"My dad told me he would send me messages," she shared. "It felt like everything inside me was dead, and I didn’t want my son [Sidney, 3] to see me like this." Osbourne described visiting her father's grave and making a wish for help.

She credits a therapist and life coach, Chris Miller, introduced to her by her mother, Sharon Osbourne, with saving her life. Osbourne, 41, referred to the period following her father's death as the "worst year of her life," which also included her split from ex-fiancé Sid Wilson in March. Despite the hardships, she also described the time as "really beautiful," reflecting that her grief is an "honor" because she loved someone so deeply.

Osbourne also addressed speculation about plastic surgery, stating that aside from Botox injections in her eyebrows and jaw to address teeth grinding, she has not undergone any cosmetic procedures. She expressed fear of potential negative outcomes from surgery.

"This is the face that God and my family gave me, and whether you like it or not, that’s up to you, but I’m alright with it," she asserted.

Following her BRIT Awards appearance, Osbourne publicly addressed body-shaming comments. She wrote on Instagram Stories that "There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something." She criticized those who "kick me while I’m down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most."

Osbourne also shared that she is eight months sober, having previously relapsed and resumed drinking after her father's death when she hit "ground zero." She emphasized the importance of her support system, stating she "closed my circle" after losing many friends who were uncomfortable with her sadness. "People don’t like sadness, and they expected me to be over it," she said. "And I will never be over it. I will never, ever be over it."
