Kelly Osbourne is opening up about one of the hardest years of her life. In a new interview with The Sun, the 41-year-old revealed she has gained 30 pounds since her drastic weight loss following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, on July 22, 2025. Kelly explained that her weight loss was never about an eating disorder or weight loss drugs. It was grief. She said she couldn’t do anything for herself, and eating made her feel like she wanted to throw up.
Kelly also got candid about the 2026 Grammys, admitting she looked like“the Crypt Keeper”in photos from the night and regretted attending. She went to support her mother, Sharon, and honor her father’s legacy, but the experience left her feeling exposed and criticized. She directly denied using GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and asked critics to show compassion, saying,“My dad just died. And I’m doing the best that I can.”
What’s resonating most with fans is how Kelly has reframed her pain. She said she has learned that her grief is“an honor,”because it means she loved someone so deeply. It’s a powerful reminder that grief doesn’t follow a schedule and it doesn’t care about red carpets, cameras, or comments. Have you ever experienced grief showing up in your body?
