Steven Tyler‘s daughter Mia Tyler is coming to Kelly Osbourne‘s defense over body-shaming.
Mia, 47, took to Instagram on Monday, March 2, to address criticism of Osbourne’s appearance after she attended the 2026 BRIT Awards. “Public grief is not public property. Grief can change a person,” Mia wrote, which Kelly, 41, reposted. “That doesn’t make their body a topic for debate.”
Kelly and her mom, Sharon Osbourne, made an appearance at the event in Manchester, England, on Saturday, February 28, to collect a posthumous lifetime achievement award on behalf of the late Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July 2025.
After receiving body-shaming comments, Kelly spoke out on social media.
“There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something,” Kelly wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, March 1. “Kicking me while I’m down, spreading my struggles as gossip and turning your back when I need support and love most. None of it proves strength.”
Kelly continued, “It only revealed a profound absence of compassion and character. I’m currently going through the hardest time in my life. I should not even have to defend myself.”
Kelly shut down the hurtful commentary, adding, “I won’t sit here and allow myself to be dehumanized in such a way.”
The TV personality has been outspoken recently about critics who claim she appears too thin following her father’s death.
“Literally can’t believe how disgusting some human beings truly are,” Kelly wrote via Instagram last month. “No one deserves this sort of abuse! This too shall pass, but like, holy f***.”
Kelly has been candid about struggles with her weight over the years. She previously spoke out about her decision to undergo gastric sleeve surgery in 2018.
Over the years, Kelly Osbourne has shared her struggles and successes surrounding her sobriety, weight loss and other personal moments. “I got sober,” the former Fashion Police host exclusively told Us Weekly in May 2021. “I replaced drugs and alcohol with food, my body metabolized differently. Once I got sober and I gained weight uncontrollably, it was insane. [People] kept […]
“I lost, like, I want to say 35 pounds, 40 pounds, and then I stopped losing weight,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2020 about results from her procedure. “I just stopped because I didn’t listen to what they said. I just thought it was going to be a quick fix. I’d be done, I’d be skinny. [I thought I] didn’t have to work out or do anything. I could not have been more wrong. You have to do every single thing that they tell you to do when you do the surgery, or it doesn’t work.”
At the time, Kelly called out the people who questioned her issues.
“I want to start by saying I received so many lovely, lovely, lovely comments from people that have really helped me get through this time in my life since losing my father,” she said in a December 2025 social media video. “[I’ve seen some] disgusting, horrible, mean, rude comments. I’m just here to say, what do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now? The fact that I’m getting out of bed and facing my life and trying to be more than enough, I should be commended for that.”
Kelly added: “My life is completely flipped upside down. I don’t understand how people expect me to bounce back and look like everything is just fine in my life when it’s not. People’s faces change when you grow older.”
