Hitting out at cruel trolls, Kelly Osbourne said she ‘shouldn’t have to defend herself’ while she goes through ‘the hardest time in my life’ after losing dad Ozzy
Kelly Osbourne has hit back at trolls over cruel comments about her appearance at last night’s Brit Awards. The 41-year-old was at the music awards ceremony in Manchester to receive a special Lifetime Achievement award on behalf of her late father, Ozzy Osbourne.
She was seen walking the red carpet with her mum Sharon Osbourne, 73, in a floor length black dress that she accessorised with a black feather stole jacket and several gold necklaces, including a crucifix.
While Kelly didn’t say what comments she had received, she posted a statement on Instagram afterwards saying she felt ‘dehumanised’ when she is ‘currently going through the worst time in my life.’
Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “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.
“None of it proves strength; it only reveals and profound absence of compassion and character. 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 dehumanised in such a way.”

And it’s not the first time Kelly has taken to social media to hit out at trolls since the death of her father Ozzy last year. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away at the age of 76 in July 2025, just two weeks after performing his farewell gig with the band.
After an appearance at London Fashion Week a few days ago, Kelly claimed one cruel person had said she looked like ‘a dead body’.
Sharing the unsavoury comment on her Instagram page after being plagued by rumours she’s been using fat jabs, Kelly responded: “Literally can’t believe how disgusting some human beings are! No one deserves this sort of abuse!”
Alongside her statement, she posted a collection of fans’ comments sticking up for her and slamming the awful message. However, Kelly was understandably shaken by the vile slur, as she continued: “This too shall pass, but like, holy f**k.”
As well as the Lifetime Achievement award at the Brits, Kelly’s dad Ozzy was also honoured with a tribute performance by members of his band over the years – which was fronted by his pal Robbie Williams.
Surprising fans by singing Ozzy’s hit No More Tears, Robbie took on more of a rock persona and impressed viewers at home with his rendition of the track that he was personally invited to sing by Ozzy’s wife Sharon.
Paying an emotional tribute to her husband of 43 years, Sharon told the audience: “I’m honoured to accept this award for my gorgeous husband. God knows I wish he was here to accept it himself — so you’ve got the booby prize, me doing it.”
She went on: “Ozzy was authentic. He was gifted, totally unpredictable, a wild man. He was a true artist.
“He came from a small, working class neighbourhood in Birmingham, and he rose to become one of the most recognisable and respected musicians of his life.
“His life was filled with extraordinarily wonderful high times, but very, very real low times, but he never stopped tirelessly pushing himself to do better. To be honest with you, he was the most humble egomaniac you could ever meet, and yes, at the end of the day, he will always be a rock star.”
Closing her speech with Ozzy’s trademark sign-off, Sharon added: “As Ozzy would say at the end of every show — I love you all, and God bless you.”
