Kelly Osbourne calls out 'disgusting' comments over weight loss backlash

Kelly Osbourne has issued a fiery statement in response to a hate comment both criticising her physical appearance and referencing her late father.

The TV personality, 41, took to Instagram on Monday (23 Feb), where she slammed alleged 'concern' for her physical wellbeing as 'abuse' in disguise.

Her latest comments came after an appearance at a London Fashion Week event over the weekend, during which she hosted the 2026 Royal Ascot Millinery Collective presentation.

For the high-profile festivities, Osbourne donned a chic purple gown with sheer sleeves, adorned with sparkling gemstones.

Afterwards, the mother-of-one shared several snaps from the fashion soiree on social media, including several of her outfit, which she'd paired with a sleek straight electric blonde down-do and fringe.

Sadly for Osbourne, however, her photo dump attracted unwanted attention from a group of online trolls who took aim at her slimmed-down physique.

Responding to the backlash, she penned a passionate message on her Instagram Story in response to one particularly nasty remark that read, 'Looks like a dead body… she's tooooo thin and fragile… Looks like she's going to see her dad soon'.

As a reminder, Osbourne lost her Black Sabbath rock star father Ozzy back in July of last year.

"Literally can't believe how disgusting some human beings truly are," she hit out whilst sharing a screenshot of the hate comment. "No one deserves this sort of abuse!"

Osbourne later wrote on a follow-up Instagram Story: "This too shall pass, but like, holy f**k."

As a reminder, The Osbournes star has long been at the centre of headline-hitting rumours of weight loss drug use.

Her mother, X Factor judge Sharon, previously admitted to using Ozempic to shed a few pounds, claiming she later regretted doing so as the medication came hand-in-hand with a number of harmful side effects.

Back in December, Osbourne denied ever using the same drug as her mum, writing online: "I know everybody thinks I took Ozempic. I did not take Ozempic. I don't know where that came from. My mum took Ozempic."

Thankfully, however, in response to her latest statement, a number of fans jumped to Osbourne's defence, suggesting any apparent changes to her appearance could be down to her grieving.

"Disgraceful comment, have you no empathy?" one questioned.

Another pointed out: "What is wrong with people? Her Dad has died its called grief."

"How would you feel if you were grieving and all you can say to her is about her weight," a third demanded. "Disgusting!!!"
