Watch: Kelly Osbourne Says She Looked Like the “Crypt Keeper” After Dad Ozzy Osbourne’s Death
Kelly Osbourne is getting candid about a difficult time in her life.
After her fatherOzzy Osbournedied froma heart attack in 2025, the former reality star admitted that she didn’t even recognize herself after experiencing severe weight loss due to her grief.
“I looked like the f–king Crypt Keeper,” Kelly toldThe Mail on Sunday in an interview published Sept. 5. “I said, ‘This is scary. I didn’t know I looked like this.’ My spine—you could see every single bone.”
And while friends and family did try to intervene, the 41-year-old confessed she was too overwhelmed by grief, adding, “I couldn’t see what other people saw because I was in so much pain. I just saw a broken person.”
For Kelly, it all came to a headat the 2026 Grammys, where she and her family—including mom SharonOsbourne and brother JackOsbourne, 40—attended to help celebrate her father’s legacy. As she got ready for the event, she did her best to hide her weight loss in the hopes her appearance wouldn’t draw attention away from the tribute.
“I wore a wig to cover my face, so you couldn’t see how skinny my cheekbones really were,” she recalled, sharing that her stylists did their best to find more flattering outfit options. “They knew I was going through something. So, we were trying to find clothes to not make me look skinnier.”
“I was scared,” she confessed. “I wanted to be there to support my mum and to pay tribute to my father’s legacy. But in all honesty, when I reflect on it, I don’t think I should have gone. I wasn’t very well.”

The loss of her fatheralso affected her ability to eat, with Kelly explaining, “You’re filled with so much pain that the feeling of hunger can’t even pop up.”
Still, despite her own difficult emotions, the “Changes” singer did her best to hide all of it from 3-year-old son Sidney, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Sid Wilson.
“Whenever he walked in the room, something would come over me and I’d snap into Miss Fun Mum,” she said. “I didn’t cry in front of him; I’d walk out of the room. I always made sure that he was not exposed to inappropriate sorrow.”
Kelly also plans to channel her experience into a documentary series exploring grief and mental health, which will also give her a chance to tell her own story “because there’s a lot that people don’t know.”
“The person I was before my dad died is dead,” she said. “That person doesn’t exist anymore.”

Thankfully, the former talk show host—who recently moved back to the U.K. from Los Angeles—is doing what she canto focus on her health.
“I’m getting a lot better,” she toldHello Magazine in August. “I’ve got all the help I need. I’m grateful for the support I have in my life.”
“You’ve got to fix the head before you can fix the body. It’s a slow process. It’s going to take me a minute,” she continued. “I’m not going to be fixed in a day. I’m not going to be fixed on one therapy session. This is a lifetime of work I’ve got to do and continue to do for the rest of my life.”
