Kelly Osbourne Was Shocked By Her Appearance
Kelly Osbourne said she was shocked by her appearance while preparing for the 2026 Grammys.
"I looked like the f------ Crypt Keeper," Kelly told The Mail on Sunday, referring to the character from Tales from the Crypt.
"I said, 'This is scary. I didn't know I looked like this,'" she continued. "My spine — you could see every single bone. I couldn't see what other people saw because I was in so much pain. I just saw a broken person."
The Grammy Awards featured a tribute to Ozzy, who died at age 76.
Kelly Osbourne Hid Her Face at the Grammy Awards
Kelly Osbourne revealed she wore a wig at the Grammys to hide her face and skinny cheekbones.
Kelly said she took steps to conceal how thin she had become when she attended the award show to honor her father.
"I wore a wig to cover my face, so you couldn't see how skinny my cheekbones really were," she said.
Her team also worked to find clothing that would not emphasize her weight loss.
"They knew I was going through something. So, we were trying to find clothes to not make me look skinnier," Kelly explained.
Despite wanting to be there for her mother, Sharon Osbourne, Kelly now believes she may have pushed herself too far by attending the event.
"I was scared. I wanted to be there to support my mom and to pay tribute to my father's legacy, [but] I don't think I should have gone. I wasn't very well," she added.
Grief Took Away Kelly Osbourne's Appetite
The star said overwhelming grief made it difficult for her to even feel hunger.
Kelly also described how overwhelming her grief became after losing her father.
"You're filled with so much pain that the feeling of hunger can't even pop up," she told the outlet.
Kelly has previously spoken about how difficult the loss has been, and she now plans to document her experience with grief in a three-part documentary series.
"I'm [telling] my story because there's a lot that people don't know," she said. "The person I was before my dad died is dead. That person doesn't exist anymore."

Throughout the difficult period, Kelly said she made a point of keeping her 3-year-old son, Sidney, from seeing her at her lowest moments.
"Whenever he walked in the room, something would come over me, and I'd snap into Miss Fun Mom," Kelly said. "I didn't cry in front of him... I always made sure that he was not exposed to inappropriate sorrow."
