    Kelly Osbourne has blasted trolls for doling out a "special kind of cruelty" over her appearance

    The 41-year-old star has been critical of those shaming her changing figure in the months following the death of her dad Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July 2025 age 76, which has continued after she stepped out with mother Sharon at the BRIT Awards last week.


    She wrote on her Instagram Story: "There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something.

    "Kicking me while I'm down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love the most.

    "None of it proves strength; it only reveals a profound absence of compassion and character."

    Kelly added that her continued grief is the "hardest time" of her life, and she hates how people are making her feel "dehumanised".

    She continued: "I'm currently going through the hardest time in my life I should not even have to defend myself.

    "But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanized in such a way."

    Kelly and Sharon gave an emotional speech in honour of Ozzy as the Black Sabbath icon was recognised with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BRITs in Manchester on Saturday (28.02.26).

    Sharon explained that she couldn't help but "waffle on" about her husband, even though he hated speeches.

    She said: "He came from a small working class neighbourhood in Birmingham. He rose to become one of the most recognisable and respected musicians of his life, and he was filled with extraordinarily wonderful high times but very, very real low times, but he never stopped tirelessly pushing himself. To do better. He always wanted to do better both personally and professionally."

    She continued: "We spent most of our lives touring the world. But Ozzy's heart never left England. Wherever we were in the world, he was always proud to be that working class Brummie, and he never let anyone forget it.'"

    Towards the end of the speech, Kelly added: "Thank you for loving my father as much as we do."

    The pair's speech was then followed by a performance of Ozzy's track No More Tears by a supergroup fronted by Robbie Williams alongside Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zack Wylde.
