Kelly Osbourne Reveals She’s Gained 30lb After Drastic Weight Loss Following Dad’s Death

Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she has gained 30lb (approximately 13.6kg) following a period of dramatic weight loss after the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, in July 2025.

The television personality, 41, spoke about her changing appearance after seeing photographs of herself at the 2026 BRIT Awards on 28 February. She attended the ceremony with her mother, Sharon Osbourne, to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award honouring the late Black Sabbath frontman.

“I didn’t know that I looked like that until I saw the pictures,” Kelly said, describing her reaction to the photographs.

She also discussed how grief affected her ability to look after herself. Explaining the difficulties she experienced during that period, she said: “I just couldn’t do anything for myself.” She added that eating made her feel as though she wanted to throw up.

Kelly’s comments offer an insight into the personal difficulties she faced following her father’s death, which came shortly after Black Sabbath’s farewell performance. Ozzy died on 22 July 2025, aged 76.

The singer’s death was a major loss for the Osbourne family, who had shared aspects of their lives with television audiences through the reality series The Osbournes. Kelly has since spoken about the impact of losing her father and the challenges of managing her grief while raising her son, Sidney.

In discussing that period, Kelly described how distressed she had become and expressed concern about her son seeing her in that state. Her account also highlighted the support she received from her family and a professional who helped her during a difficult time.

Kelly said she had been struggling emotionally and described turning to a personal ritual involving a white candle at her father’s grave. She explained that her mother later introduced her to Chris Miller, whom she credited with helping her through the experience.

The disclosure provides further context for the attention Kelly’s appearance has received in recent months. Her weight loss prompted public speculation about her health, but discussion of her appearance has not necessarily reflected what she was experiencing privately.

Kelly has previously spoken about being criticised over her weight at different stages of her life. Her latest comments return attention to the personal circumstances behind the changes, including the loss of her father and the emotional difficulties that followed.

Her account also highlights the importance of support during bereavement. While Kelly’s weight has changed, her comments suggest that the period following Ozzy’s death involved difficulties that extended beyond her physical appearance.

The Osbourne family has continued to deal with the loss of Ozzy, whose decades-long career made him one of rock music’s most recognisable figures. For Kelly, the months since his death have brought significant personal challenges as she continues to navigate life without him.
