Kelly Osbourne addresses weight-loss scrutiny since death of father Ozzy Osbourne
In her first interview since losing her father, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne , Kelly spoke candidly about the overwhelming grief she’s experienced.
She also shared how body-shaming comments she has received had taken their toll and what it was like adjusting to life as a single parent.
Kelly recently returned to the UK with her three-year-old son Sidney, following her split from former Slipknot band member Sid Wilson.
“I’ll never be the person I was before my father died ... a part of me died, too.
“Everything has changed, but it’s just taking it one day at a time and putting the pieces back together in a way that you think will work.”
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy died in July last year of a heart attack at the age of 76 and was famously close with his daughter.
Since his passing, Kelly has been open about how she has struggled to deal with the loss.
“I feel unhappy, I am so sad,” Kelly, 40, posted on Instagram the day after her father’s death.
Just days before he died, Kelly had shared a post of Ozzy with his grandson. She previously said the pair were “best friends”.
In the interview with Hello!, Kelly also addressed the constant scrutiny of her body, after her dramatic weight loss prompted endless discussion.
The TV personality admitted she hasn’t dealt well with the attention on her appearance.
“How can you navigate something so cruel when you’re so sick?” Kelly said.
“I’m getting a lot better. I’ve got all the help I need and I’m grateful for the support I have in my life.
“I have this incredible team of people I’ve built around me who are not just my friends, because what you’ll find when you’re grieving is that people don’t know how to handle it, and you do lose a lot of friends.
