Kelly Osbourne has officially had enough of people commenting on her appearance.
The Osbournes star, 41, has taken to Instagram in a fiery message directed at social media users who are sharing ‘disgusting’ comments about the way she looks.
Some online asked whether Kelly is ‘ill’ having seen photos of her in recent weeks, just five months since her dad Ozzy Osbourne died. Kelly has now given them the middle finger and said that she is ill: she is grieving.
‘First I want to say I receive so many lovely, lovely comments from people who have helped me get through this time since losing my father,’ Kelly said this evening, talking about her Black Sabbath rocker father, who died aged 76 following months and years of debilitating health issues.
While he died of a heart attack, the Prince of Darkness also suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease. He only just made it through his goodbye Black Sabbath performance in his native Birmingham – despite doctors telling him not to – just weeks before his death.
Kelly continued: ‘But I’ve also received some disgusting, horrible, mean, brutal comments, and I’m just here like, what do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now? The fact I’m getting out of bed, facing my life and trying should be more than enough. I should be commended for that.
‘To everyone leaving these sick comments, you need to take a strong hard look at yourself because these things you’re saying about me is how you feel about yourself.
‘You say I look ill. I am ill, right now. My life has completely flipped upside down, I don’t understand why people expect me to bounce back and look like everything is fine in my life, when it’s not. I’m 100% honest. I share my struggles with people, they share with me. They help me and I help them.
‘But these mean comments are helping nobody. They’re just making you feel big and clever and like you have achieved something. But all you’ve achieved is being a bully. It’s sick. You’re mentally ill.
‘Another thing that is strange, is that you compare photos of me now at 41 years old to pictures of me when I was 18. People’s faces change when you grow older.
‘One more thing. What I find the most disappointing in all of this is most of the comments are coming from grown ass women. Women that say they’re councillors, women who say they’re mothers, women who look like they have weight struggles of their own.
‘It’s devastating women can’t support other women. They’d rather tear them down when their dad’s just died. It’s disgusting and I’ve had enough, so go f*** yourself.’
Kelly’s persistant trolling was a topic on Piers Morgan’s Uncensored tonight, as he hosted Sharon Osbourne in her first big interview since her beloved Ozzy’s death.

In the interview, Sharon and Piers watched back a previous video Kelly shared with fans, in which she told haters to ‘f*** off’ for telling her to ‘get off Ozempic’.
‘My dad just died,’ she stressed. ‘I am doing the best I can.’
Sharon, who was married to Ozzy for decades, supported her daughter, saying: ‘She’s right. You know? She can’t eat right now, she’s lost her daddy.’
The former X Factor judge also praised her three children, Kelly, Aimme and Jack, adding that they have all been ‘magnificent’ with her.
She said: ‘Grief has now become my friend.
‘It is very weird to me, when you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with, and I’ll get used to it. I will, I have to, you know, things move on.
‘It’s an ache that you wake up with and you can’t get rid of that ache. It’s like a big hole inside of you and the kids feel exactly the same way, and it’s just, what do you do? It’s inevitable that it happens to all of us.
‘I would have just gone with Ozzy. I’ve done everything I wanted to do. But they’ve (Kelly, Aimee and Jack) been unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them.’
