Kelly Osbourne addressed her health half a year after igniting serious concerns.

The 41-year-old’s appearance sparked “danger zone” comments on February 28, when she stepped on stage at The BRIT Awards 2026 in Manchester with her mother, Sharon Osbourne, 73.

The mother-daughter-duo accepted the Lifetime Achievement award on behalf of Kelly’s late father, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer died of cardiac arrest on July 22, 2025, at 76.

Conversation online soon focused on Kelly’s appearance, which many fans found concerningly thin. One person wrote under a YouTube video of Kelly on stage, “As much as I hate to comment about someone’s appearance... Kelly has hit the danger zone. That’s extremely concerning.”

Kelly addressed these comments in an interview with HELLO! published on Monday.

When asked about how she navigated the body-shaming, Kelly replied: “I didn’t navigate it—I wasn’t well.”

“How can you navigate something so cruel when you’re so sick?” she asked. “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.”

In December, Sharon said on the Piers Morgan Uncensored podcast that her daughter “can’t eat right now” because she was so sad about her father’s death.

Now, Kelly said she is putting “one foot in front of the other.”

“You’ve got to fix the head before you can fix the body,” she said. “It’s a slow process. It’s going to take me a minute. I’m not going to be fixed in a day.”

Kelly said she is going to therapy, but recognized that she won’t be “fixed” in a single session.

“This is a lifetime of work I’ve got to do and continue to do for the rest of my life,” Kelly explained. “I’m getting to know myself in a whole new way, but it’s a lot more healthy, I can tell you that.”

Kelly has received public criticism over her weight ever since she rose to fame in 2002 with the launch of MTV’s reality series The Osbournes.

In May 2024, she said on The Osbournes Podcast that when she was a child, an agent told her she was “too fat for TV” and “needed to lose weight.”

Kelly, who declined to comment on her split from her rocker fiancé, Slipknot band member Sid Wilson, 49, has moved to the U.K. with the couple’s 3-year-old son, Sidney.

“I have so many reasons to keep going,” she said. “I’ve got my baby boy, and he makes me the happiest person in the world. Being home in the U.K. has changed a lot for me. I’ve never been a California girl. It’s been great to be home, and making a life for me and my son where I can see he’s truly happy.”
