Kelly Osbourne has shared an update on her mental and physical health following the death of her father and intense public scrutiny over her appearance.
Osbourne has admitted that she was struggling following the death of her father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, in July 2025.
“I didn’t navigate it – I wasn’t well,” Osbourne told Hello!. “How can you navigate something so cruel when you’re so sick? 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.”
The 41-year-old said she’s doing better now, over a year later, but added that healing isn’t linear and her physical and mental health are “not going to be fixed in a day.”
“It’s one foot in front of the other,” she told the publication. “You’ve got to fix the head before you can fix the body. It’s a slow process. It’s going to take me a minute. I’m not going to be fixed in a day. I’m not going to be fixed on one therapy session. This is a lifetime of work I’ve got to do and continue to do for the rest of my life.

You go all the way back and you’re like: ‘Oh my god, that’s why I do that. That’s crazy.’ I’m getting to know myself in a whole new way, but it’s a lot more healthy, I can tell you that.”
Osbourne addressed fans and critics on her Instagram earlier this year after she made an appearance at the Brit Awards to honor her late father. Instead of focusing on the tribute to the late Black Sabbath rocker, many on social media focused on his daughter’s appearance.
After the show, Osbourne wrote on her Instagram Stories: “There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something.

“None of it proves strength; it only reveals a 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 dehumanized in such a way!”
The former co-host of The View said: “To the people who keep thinking they’re being funny and mean by writing comments like ‘Are you ill,’ or ‘Get off Ozempic, you don’t look right,’ my dad just died, and I’m doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.”
