    Kelly Osbourne has slammed "disgusting" body shamers, after a troll likened her look to "a dead body"

    The 41-year-old TV personality - whose dad, Ozzy Osbourne, died last year aged 76 - insisted "no one deserves this sort of abuse" after she shared a social media comment made about her, which described the star as "too thin and fragile".


    Kelly took to her Instagram Stories to post the comment, which read: "Looks like a dead body... She's toooooo thin and fragile... Looks like she's going to see her dad soon [crying laughing emojis]"

    In response, Kelly captioned her post: "Literally can't believe how disgusting some human beings truly are! No one deserves this sort of abuse!"

    She also shared a quote, which read: "This too shall pass, but like, holy f***."

    Last year, Kelly shared an emotional video responding to people body shaming her in the months following the death of her dad Ozzy in July.

    In a since-deleted Instagram video, Kelly said: "To the people who keep thinking they're being funny and mean by writing comments like 'Are you ill,' or 'Get off Ozempic, you don't look right.'

    "My dad just died, and I'm doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.

    "And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life not the miserable side of my life.

    "So to all those people, f*** off."

    The clip was played during her mother Sharon Osbourne's interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, and she stood by her daughter.

    She told the presenter: "She's right. She's lost her daddy, she can't eat right now."

    Kelly - whose brother is TV star Jack Osbourne, 40 - has long been candid about her struggles with weight and her own body image.

    In 2025, she hit out at the way trolls have treated her online when it comes to her figure.

    She told PEOPLE magazine: "I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic ... I've been a complete mess, disrespectful to people, horrible - but I got more s*** for being fat than I did for anything else. It's insane."
