Kelly Osbourne Hasn't Been The Same Since The Death Of Her Dad Ozzy

Kelly Osbourne is different. But it's not just the obvious difference in her appearance that we're talking about. According to sources, she hasn't been the same since the death of her dad, Ozzy Osbourne. It's easy to understand: Ozzy was a rock 'n roll legend, and his death in 2025 sent hordes of fans into a mourning period. So it wouldn't be any different with people close to him.

The public speculated that something was going on with Kelly during an appearance at the Brit Awards in early 2026. She and her mother, Sharon Osbourne, were welcomed to the stage to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award to Ozzy. Netizens believed that Kelly's appearance was an indication that she wasn't fine, and people on social media immediately started speculating about her health.

A source told the Daily Mail, "Kelly used to be the loudest person in the room, always giving her opinion, but now she's very shy and comes across anxious, you can see she's just holding herself together." Another source felt the same: "Sharon seems in a much better place. But it's clear Kelly is still dealing with a lot of grief."

We don't know all internal struggles that Kelly Osbourne has been going through, but it's impossible to ignore her physical change. Before the death of Ozzy Osbourne, Kelly had already lost a significant amount of weight. But now things are different. Rumors claim that Kelly is overusing Ozempic — which would explain why many believe she's fallen victim to "Ozempic face," due to visible cheekbones and a clearly defined jawline.

Kelly responded to the criticism on an Instagram Story (via The Hollywood Reporter): "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 most." She further lambasted the critics and added, "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!"

On one side, it's good that Kelly is open about her grief. Like she wrote, it's not like she needs to explain herself to the world. At the same time, it's understandable that a portion of fans get worried about her health: Kelly has had her notable struggles over the years. It's good that she admits that she needs support, because it suggests she is dealing with grief in new and healthier ways.
