Sharon Osbourne has hit out at 'bullies' trolling her daughter Kelly's appearance – after Ozzy's heartbreaking death.

Kelly, 41, has had to hit back several times in last few months at those who have criticised her body during the 'hardest time of her life' after many noticed her slimmer frame.

Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy died in July last year aged 76 just two weeks after performing a farewell concert in his hometown of Birmingham.

While appearing at the Elton John 2026's Oscars party, Sharon spoke to Extra TV where they asked her about the difficult time Kelly has been having.

A reporter asked her: 'Are you so proud of Kelly for standing up for herself against the bullies?'

Sharon replied back: 'Sure. Listen, people that give it out have to get it back...'

Kelly recently fired back at 'cruel' body-shaming trolls following concerns over her appearance at the 2026 Brit Awards.

Kelly and Sharon attended the Brit Awards in Manchester at the end of last month to collect a posthumous Lifetime Achievement for her father, who passed away in July. 

But as well as celebrating Ozzy's life during the evening, Kelly was also subject to negative comments about her appearance online. 

After speaking out that weekend, soon after Kelly shared a post by Aerosmith star Steve Tyler's daughter Mia Tyler, 47, who threw her support behind Kelly with an impassioned message alongside the caption: 'How hard is it to not be a d**k?' 

The lengthy statement read: 'Public grief is not public property. Grief can change a person. That doesn't make their body a topic for debate...

'Before you comment on someone's body, consider the possibility that they're carrying something heavier than your opinion...

'It takes real strength to stand in the public eye accepting accolades for their late iconic father and hold themselves together in front of the world...

'The least we can do is show the same grace in return. Kindness costs nothing. Cruelty costs character. It's unsettling how quickly people will dissect someone's appearance instead of honouring their courage...

'If you have the kind of energy to comment, you have the energy to be kind. Choose accordingly.'

Immediately after the event, Kelly said: 'There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something...

'Kicking me while I'm down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most...

'None of it proves strength, it only reveals a profound absence of character. I'm currently going through the hardest time of my life. I should not even have to defend myself. 

'But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanised in such a way.'
