Kelly Osbourne Opens Up About The 'Hardest' Year Of Her Life

It's no secret that there have been several celebrity deaths that have stunned the entertainment industry this year, including the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne.

 

Aside from his incredible achievements in the music industry and his one-of-a-kind personality, the Black Sabbath musician was also well known for being a family man. He and his wife, Sharon, had always been especially close to their children, including the former View co-host, Kelly. Since his death was revealed to the public, she's openly expressed how hurt she was, but this week, she sat down for an interview with Hello! to give an update and reflect even more.

 

"It's been the hardest year of my life," she told the publication. "I'll never be the person I was before my father died …a part of me died, too."

Kelly Addresses Her Weight Loss In The New Interview

After Ozzy's passing was announced last July, fans started noticing changes in the other members of the Osbourne family, especially the mom-of-one.

 

Over the last two decades, Kelly has lost a significant amount of weight, revealing that she had gastric sleeve surgery in order to eat less and find the motivation to get healthier after years of struggling to lose excess weight. However, following the death of her father, she noticeably slimmed down even more, quickly getting to the point where social media users began commenting that she was "too thin" after she attended a select few public events.

 

Throughout the health concerns, she maintained that while she was mentally hurt, physically, she was going to be alright. Now, she's opening up about how her weight loss was tied to her grief.

 

"I didn't navigate it," she admitted, addressing her feelings after Ozzy's death. "I wasn't well...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."

 

"[I have] this incredible team of people I've built around me who are not just my friends, because what you'll find when you're grieving is that people don't know how to handle it, and you do lose a lot of friends," she continued. "But the ones who stick around are the real ones."
