Kelly Osbourne has opened up about the profound impact of her father Ozzy Osbourne’s death last July, describing how she felt like "a shell of myself" during the grieving process. Ozzy, who was 76 at the time of his passing, died from a heart attack after battling a range of health issues, including Parkinson’s disease, sepsis, blood clots, pneumonia, and a back injury. In a recent interview on Paul C Brunson’s podcast We Need to Talk, Kelly described feeling "broken in every way a human being could possibly be broken" and said she struggled to take care of herself. She admitted to starting drinking again and feeling like she "lost my mind" during that difficult time.
Kelly, who has previously spoken about her battles with addiction—including heroin use in her teenage years and alcohol—said she has now been sober for eight months. Despite having "the most incredible people" in her life, she revealed that she "lost a lot of friends" during her grief. She explained that she "closed my circle" because, she said, people "don’t like sadness" and expected her to move on. However, she emphasized that she will "never be over" her father’s death.
In the same interview, Kelly discussed her relationship with her older sister Aimée, who is the eldest of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s children and has largely stayed out of the public eye. Kelly said she is "not close" to Aimée and felt that her sister "didn’t really ever acknowledge me and my brother." She described Aimée as someone who "was just in her own world doing her own thing" and suggested she "felt as though she was embarrassed of us. The whole family." Kelly acknowledged that she and Aimée are "very different" and that she "never got a big sister" to guide her. She expressed a lasting "resentment" toward her sister, saying it will "last forever." When asked if reconciliation is possible, she said, "No. I respect her and I accept her but we’re different."
Earlier this month, Kelly addressed concerns about her weight loss following Ozzy’s death. In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, she said she was shocked by how thin she had become, explaining that she "couldn’t see what other people saw" because she was "in so much pain." All she saw, she said, was "a broken person."
