5 Photos of Kelly Osbourne's Weight Loss as She Reveals Going Through 'Hardest Time' of Her Life

Kelly Osbourne has always been candid about her weight loss journey. After several years of being criticised for her weight, the 41-year-old TV personality finally decided to shed some unwanted pounds by undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in 2018. At the time, Osbourne said the procedure was the best thing she had ever done.

Below are some photos of Osbourne during her weight loss journey throughout the years, alongside some of the statements she has made about it.

'Hardest Time in My Life'

Earlier this month, Osbourne made headlines following her appearance at the BRIT Awards. Osbourne attended the ceremony in Manchester alongside her mother, Sharon, to accept a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of her late father. Dressed in a sleeveless black gown, she joined Sharon on stage for what was an emotional tribute to the rock icon.

During the outing, social media users noticed how much weight she had lost. Some made nasty remarks about her appearance, while others said she looked ill. The comments prompted Osbourne to release a statement saying she is going through the hardest time of her life following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne. The rock legend died in July 2025 at the age of 76 after battling Parkinson's disease. Osbourne had described him as 'the best friend I ever had.'

'I'm currently going through the hardest time in my life. I should not even have to defend myself. But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanized in such a way!' she said.

Weight Loss and Weight Gain

In 2024, Osbourne revealed that she was once called into her agency's office and told she looked too fat for TV. As a child, she also grew up hearing people say she could be a movie star if only she lost weight. These comments left a mark on her, and as an adult, she set out to lose weight, though she was not always successful.

After undergoing gastric sleeve surgery, Osbourne lost 85 pounds. The procedure, which she underwent nearly two years before going public about it, works by changing the shape of the stomach, limiting how much a person can eat. However, she gained weight again after becoming pregnant with her son, Sidney. She revealed that she deliberately stayed out of the limelight during her pregnancy because she did not want to hear negative comments about her body.

Shortly after giving birth, Osbourne restarted her weight loss journey. During a 2023 interview, she admitted she wanted to see how far she could go after shedding the baby weight and acknowledged she went a little too far.

Not Ozempic but Sculpting Treatments

Osbourne underwent sculpting treatments after giving birth. She noticed her skin had lost its elasticity and that her stomach had stretch marks, leading her to try skin-tightening treatments, including EMFACE and EMSCULPT. One thing she has not tried, however, is Ozempic. In 2024, she said she had not used the medication, though she acknowledged it had done wonders for others.

Weight Loss Theories

Since Osbourne has always struggled with her weight, she is used to reading stories theorising about why she has gained or lost pounds. There have been instances where she was accused of taking drugs or being an alcoholic simply because she lost weight.

One comment that particularly enraged her suggested she 'resembles a corpse' and 'looks like she's about to see her father soon.' She called the level of cruelty 'genuinely unbelievable.'

'I tried probably everything that there is out there, whether it be surgery, medication, diet, and exercise. I got my mind where I needed it to be, and everything started to fall into place,' she said.
