Six months of grief: “The hardest thing.”
At the Grammy Awards on February 1, 2026, Kelly Osbourne spoke very specifically about her ongoing grief over the loss of her father. Six months after Ozzy Osbourne’s death, the 41-year-old was visibly shaken at the ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.
Emotional confession on the red carpet
In the official live stream of the Grammy Awards, Kelly Osbourne was unusually candid in admitting that she wasn’t feeling well. “People usually say, ‘I’m doing great.’ But I’m not feeling great,” the former reality TV star explained. She called losing her dad “the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”
The Black Sabbath singer died of a heart attack in July 2025 at the age of 76. His daughter emphasized that she is trying to “get by” and strive to “live in his legacy and be happy.”
Posthumous honor for the rock icon at the Grammys
Ozzy Osbourne was honored with a special performance at the Grammy ceremony. Post Malone performed alongside musicians Slash, Duff McKagan and Chad Smith to honor the late artist.
Kelly Osbourne, who was accompanied by her fiancé Sid Wilson, said she was deeply touched by the tribute: “It means more than I can put into words to see his colleagues and this community appreciate him in the way he deserves. It will be very emotional.”
The live performance made her cry:
Support for mother Sharon Osbourne
It was particularly important to Kelly Osbourne that she was there to support her mother, Sharon Osbourne. “It’s just as much about her,” she emphasized, adding, “He wouldn’t be him without her, and vice versa.”

Public criticism and personal challenges
In recent months, Kelly Osbourne has also faced public criticism about her appearance. Some commentators described her as looking “sick”. In December 2025, she defended herself via Instagram: “I’m sick right now. My life is completely turned upside down.”
She made it clear that it was unrealistic to expect her to get back to normal quickly: “The fact that I get out of bed and face my life should be more than enough. I should be recognized for that.”
