    Sharon Osbourne has defended her daughter Kelly over her recent weight loss

    The 73-year-old star has responded after Kelly, 41, shared an emotional video responding to people body shaming her in the months following the death of her dad Ozzy Osbourne aged 76 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'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 has long been candid about her struggles with weight and her own body image.

    Earlier this year, 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."

    Kelly insisted the abuse has continued regardless of how much she has weighed.

    She added": People [would] say, 'You're so pretty. Why don't you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you'll be the total package?' "

    Kelly - who has two-year-old son Sidney with partner Sid Wilson - noted she had "tried everything" over the years to lose weight, but she could only make real changes when in the right mental space.

    She said: "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."

    Kelly previously revealed she had undergone a gastric sleeve operation to lose weight, and later insisted she was "proud" to have slimmed down that way.

    Speaking on the Hollywood Raw podcast in 2021, she said: "I had surgery; I don't give a f*** what anyone has to say. I did it, I'm proud of it, they can suck s***. I did the gastric sleeve. All it does is change the shape of your stomach. I got that almost two years ago. I will never ever ever lie about it ever. It is the best thing I have ever done.

    "The kind of surgery I had ... if you don't work out and you don't eat right, you gain weight. All it does is move you in the right direction."
