Kelly Osbourne says grief following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, left her unable to eat properly and caused a dramatic change in her appearance earlier this year.
The television personality has now revealed that she has regained 28 pounds over six months, describing the change as part of a broader effort to recover emotionally and physically.
Osbourne said she was shocked when she later saw photographs of herself at the 2026 BRIT Awards, where she appeared alongside her mother, Sharon Osbourne.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Osbourne said of seeing the images, explaining that she had not realized how much weight she had lost during the most difficult period of her grief.

Kelly Osbourne links weight loss to grief
Kelly Osbourne said her weight loss was not the result of an eating disorder.
Instead, she described a period in which her sadness became so intense that eating made her physically ill.
She said she was struggling to function after Ozzy Osbourne died in July 2025, leaving her feeling unable to care for herself in the way she normally would.
Osbourne has also spoken about relapsing into drinking after her father’s death.
She has since said she returned to sobriety and has been rebuilding the support system around her.
The singer and television personality said she reduced the size of her social circle because some people around her expected her to move on from the loss more quickly than she could.
Osbourne has emphasized that grief does not follow a fixed timetable and that she does not expect to simply return to the person she was before her father’s death.
Public scrutiny followed her BRIT Awards appearance
Photographs from the BRIT Awards prompted widespread public discussion about Osbourne’s appearance and speculation about the reason for her weight loss.
Osbourne has previously denied using Ozempic or another weight-loss injection to explain the change.
She has also faced questions about her health throughout a career that began when she was a teenager on the family reality series The Osbournes.
In recent interviews, Osbourne has discussed the long-term pressure she experienced over her body and the effect that public commentary had on her self-image.
Her latest comments shift the focus away from speculation about her appearance and toward the emotional circumstances she says were behind it.
A new routine in the English countryside
Osbourne is also making significant changes to her personal life after ending her engagement to musician Sid Wilson, with whom she shares her three-year-old son, Sidney.
She has moved from Los Angeles to the English countryside with her son, saying she wants him to grow up with a greater sense of stability.
Osbourne has spoken about wanting a calmer environment for Sidney and has become involved with his school community.
Her brother, Jack Osbourne, has described her as being in a happier place and focused on herself and her son.
The move comes after a particularly difficult period that included her father’s death, the end of her relationship and renewed public attention on her health.
What Osbourne says comes next
Osbourne’s comments suggest that her recovery remains ongoing rather than complete.
She has credited therapy and support from her family with helping her regain stability after reaching what she described as an emotional low point.
Her mother connected her with therapist Chris Miller, whom Osbourne credits with helping her begin to recover.
Osbourne’s experience also highlights how grief can affect basic routines, including eating, sleep, substance use and the ability to manage day-to-day responsibilities.
For now, she appears to be concentrating on sobriety, motherhood and a more private life in Britain while continuing to process the loss of her father.
Her latest update does not present a final resolution to the health concerns that followed her BRIT Awards appearance.
Instead, it offers a clearer explanation of what she says happened and how she is trying to move forward.
