On Saturday night, Kelly Osbourne attended the BRIT Awards alongside her mother, Sharon Osbourne. However, the evening was marred by remarks from viewers that the 41-year-old felt compelled to respond to after the live broadcast on ITV.
"There’s a unique form of cruelty in hurting someone who is clearly facing challenges. Kicking me when I’m vulnerable, questioning my suffering, sharing my difficulties as rumors, and abandoning me when I need compassion and support the most," Kelly expressed on her Instagram Stories.

"None of this demonstrates strength; it merely uncovers a deep lack of empathy and integrity. I am presently facing the toughest period of my life. I shouldn’t even need to justify myself. However, I refuse to sit back and let myself be treated in such a degrading manner."
Kelly responds to fan feedback
The former star of The Osbournes responded to the critical remarks from fans on social media, which targeted her looks after she seemed to have shed some pounds.

During the evening, Kelly strolled down the red carpet with her mother, a former X Factor contestant, dressed in a sleek black dress, complemented by a feathered wrap and layered necklaces, one of which showcased an ‘O’, likely honoring her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, who died on July 22, 2025.

The ensemble delivered a rendition of Ozzy’s 1991 classic ‘No More Tears’, which was curated by Sharon. The BRITs organization verified that Sharon had extended a personal invitation to Robbie to participate, as a “devoted admirer of the music and a friend of the Osbourne family.”
The death of Ozzy Osbourne
The iconic heavy metal musician died from a heart attack last year. Following his passing, Sharon and Kelly, along with Kelly’s brother Jack Osbourne, paid their respects by viewing tributes from fans at the Black Sabbath Bench and Bridge as his funeral procession made its way through Birmingham, his hometown.
