Amanda LynneKelly Osbourne has been making headlines for her weight loss for more than a year. Fans have spoken out in concern about her thin frame, and now the Iowa transplant is opening up about her looks, health, and the moment she realized how thin she actually looked.
According to The Mail on Sunday via PEOPLE, Kelly Osbourne says she recently realized that she was too thin, and looking gaunt when she saw a photo of herself getting fitted for an outfit to wear to the 2026 Grammy Awards.
Kelly Osborne Opens Up About Weight Loss
At first, Kelly attributed her weight loss to the stress and grief of losing her famous father, singer Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in 2025. However, the Iowa reality star says she now understands that her appearance had changed drastically.
“I looked like the f—ing Crypt Keeper,” Kelly said of her weight loss, referring to the creepy and scary host of HBO’s 90s horror series, Tales From the Crypt.
“I said, ‘This is scary.” She continued, “I didn’t know I looked like this. My spine — you could see every single bone. I couldn’t see what other people saw because I was in so much pain. I just saw a broken person.”
She Tried To Hide It
Kelly went as far as to say that she and her team were attempting to hide the weight loss at one point, using wigs to cover her cheekbones and clothes that didn’t accentuate her thin frame. However, despite being worried about her appearance, she still attended the Grammys to support her mother and honor her late father.
“I was scared. I wanted to be there to support my mom and to pay tribute to my father’s legacy, [but] I don’t think I should have gone.” She admits, “I wasn’t very well.” Sadly, Kelly went on to reveal that she has changed both inside and out since Ozzy’s death.
“I’m [telling] my story because there’s a lot that people don’t know,” she told the outlet. “The person I was before my dad died is dead. That person doesn’t exist anymore,” she stated.
Fans Are Being Supportive
Fans had plenty to say about Kelly Osbourne’s latest comments about her weight, and many were supportive. “Some stress eat during hard times, some can’t even get hungry enough to eat because your stomach is in knots,” one person wrote.
“She was close with her father and she knew that that day was coming but she held on to hope. Everyone’s grievance is different,” said another. “Grief is a roller-coaster ride. There are ups and downs and twists and turns. Each person’s grief is different,” a third person agreed.
Kelly’s Life in Iowa
Osbourne’s dramatic weight loss comes during a period of major upheaval in her personal life. Before her father’s death, Osbourne had largely traded Hollywood for quiet, rural life on a roughly 100-acre farm in Indianola, Iowa, which she shares with her young son, Sidney, per Khak. She often posts about daily chores, chickens, and “farm life” on social media.
Whatever comes next, Kelly Osbourne has made clear she’s telling her story on her own terms.
