Kelly Osbourne is opening up about her dramatic weight loss following the death of her rock legend father, Ozzy Osbourne.
“I looked like the f***ing Crypt Keeper,” Kelly, 41, told the Daily Mail in an interview published on Saturday, September 5. “I said, ‘This is scary. I didn’t know I looked like this.’ My spine — you could see every single bone.”
She continued, “I couldn’t see what other people saw because I was in so much pain. I just saw a broken person.”
The Black Sabbath frontman’s family confirmed his death on July 22, 2025, shortly after his final concert and a public battle with Parkinson’s. He was 76.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the family’s statement read at the time. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Kelly broke her silence shortly after her father’s death, calling the rocker “the best friend I ever had.”
“I am so sad,” she wrote via her Instagram Story two days after her father’s death.
Concern regarding her thin frame hit a fever pitch when Kelly appeared alongside her mother, Sharon Osbourne, her brother, Jack Osbourne, and her ex-fiancé and former SlipKnot keyboardist Sid Wilson at the 2026 Grammys to honor her father’s legacy.
While speaking to the Daily Mail, Kelly admitted that she was afraid to appear publicly given her weight loss.
“I wore a wig to cover my face, so you couldn’t see how skinny my cheekbones really were,” she revealed, adding that she was worried the attention she knew she would get would distract from her father’s tribute.
“They knew I was going through something,” she continued of her stylists, who she says also purposefully dressed her in a wardrobe that would flatter — and in some cases hide — her body. “I was scared. I wanted to be there to support my mum and pay tribute to my father’s legacy. But in all honesty, when I reflect on it, I don’t think I should have gone. I wasn’t very well.”
Kelly previously slammed online commentators who accused her of using GLP-1 medications to lose weight in the midst of her grief.
“I don’t even know how to say this, so I’m just gonna say it,” Kelly said in a video shared during her mom’s appearance on a December 10 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored. “To the people who keep thinking they’re being funny and mean by 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, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.”

She continued, “And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life, not the miserable side of my life.”
When describing her overwhelming grief to the outlet, Kelly admitted sadness overtook even her body’s hunger cues.
“You’re filled with so much pain that the feeling of hunger can’t even pop up,” she explained.
