The deaths of Ozzy Osbourne last July have reportedly left his widow Sharon and daughter Kelly in a fragile state, with family friends expressing deep concern over their recent public appearances. Kelly's dramatic weight loss and frail appearance have shocked many, with one music industry source saying 'I didn't recognize her' and that 'it was shocking.' Sharon has also looked much thinner, with the source stating they are 'really worried' about both women.

Why it matters

The Osbournes were a prominent celebrity family who rose to fame through their MTV reality show in the early 2000s. Their struggles with grief, health, and body image issues have resonated with many fans, and the concern over their current wellbeing highlights the challenges famous families can face in the public eye, especially during times of profound loss.

The details

Kelly Osbourne has repeatedly attributed her extreme weight loss to grieving her father's death, with Sharon saying her daughter 'lost her daddy ... she can't eat right now.' However, sources say there may be more to the story, with Kelly previously admitting to gastric sleeve surgery in 2018 and using the weight loss drug Ozempic, which Ozzy had urged Sharon to stop taking. The family insider claims Kelly may have been influenced by her mother's own weight loss journey, which has included gastric band surgery.

  • Ozzy Osbourne died from a heart attack in July 2025 amid his battle with Parkinson's disease.
