Kelly Osbournehas gained widespread attention following her appearance at the 2026 BRIT Awards in Manchester on Saturday, 28 February, alongside her mother, TV personality Sharon Osbourne.
The two graced the awards night to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of her late father, the 'Prince of Darkness' and heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne. The mother-daughter duo paid tribute to Ozzy's legacy during the acceptance.
However, many people focused on Kelly's appearance—not just on what she was wearing or how well it suited her. She wore a figure-hugging black velvet gown with a feathery cover-up, paired with a blonde bob that completed the look.
Instead, much of the attention centred on her noticeable weight loss, with some calling it 'alarming'. Kelly's sunken cheeks and thin arms became the main focus, with critics describing the 41-year-old as 'too thin'.
As the discussion spread across social media platforms, Kelly did not let the criticism slide and quickly clapped back at her detractors.
Contrary to speculation linking her appearance to weight-loss drugs, Kelly's condition reportedly stems from grief following the death of her father last year. Ozzy Osbourne died in July 2025 at the age of 76. Now, friends of the TV personality are also stepping in to defend her.
Daughter of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler,Mia Tyler came to Kelly's defenceamid criticism of Kelly's weight loss.
In a lengthy Instagram post on Monday, 2 March, Tyler appeared to respond to criticism surrounding the daughter of the late heavy metal legend. She captioned the lengthy statement, 'How hard is it to not be a d***?'
Tyler wrote: 'Public grief is not public property,' she started. 'Grief can change a person. That doesn't make their body a topic for debate'.
She continued: 'Before you comment on someone's body, consider the possibility that they're carrying something heavier than your opinion'.
