Kelly Osbourne recently told The Sun that she has gained 30 pounds since a dramatic weight loss following her father Ozzy Osbourne’s death in July 2025. At the 2026 BRIT Awards on February 28, Kelly appeared severely underweight, shocking fans and herself when she saw pictures later. She attributed her extreme weight loss to grief-related issues with eating and not wanting her son to see her in a poor state. After performing "candle magic" at her father’s grave, Kelly received help from a therapist introduced by her mother Sharon Osbourne, which she credits for turning her life around.
