Kelly Osbourne Claps Back at Body-Shaming Trolls

has spoken out about criticism of her body and blasted 'cruel' trolls for 'dissecting someone's appearance instead of honouring their courage'.

The daughter of the late and attended the At the in Manchester on Saturday evening, to collect a posthumous Lifetime Achievement for her father, who passed away in July. 

But as well as celebrating Ozzy's life during the evening, Kelly, 41, was also subject to negative comments about her appearance online. 

After speaking out over the weekend, on Monday Kelly shared a post by Aerosmith star Steve Tyler's daughter Mia Tyler, 47, who threw her support behind Kelly with an impassioned message alongside the caption: 'How hard is it to not be a d**k?'

The lengthy statement read: 'Public grief is not public property. Grief can change a person. That doesn't make their body a topic for debate...

'Before you comment on someone's body, consider the possibility that they're carrying something heavier than your opinion...

'It takes real strength to stand in the public eye accepting accolades for their late iconic father and hold themselves together in front of the world...

'The least we can do is show the same grace in return. Kindness costs nothing. Cruelty costs character. It's unsettling how quickly people will dissect someone's appearance instead of honouring their courage...

'If you have the kind of energy to comment, you have the energy to be kind. Choose accordingly.'

Immidately after the event, Kelly said: 'There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something...

'Kicking me while I'm down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most...

'None of it proves strength, it only reveals a profound absence of character. I'm currently going through the hardest time of my life. I should not even have to defend myself. But I won't sit here and allow myself to be dehumanised in such a way.'

Kelly had previously hit back at 'body-shaming' trolls who criticised her recent weight loss ahead of her Brits appearance, where she stepped out with her mother Sharon.

She posed for snaps with Sharon, 73, where the mother and daughter duo both dressed in black for the occasion as they arrived at the Co-op Live Arena.

Kelly oozed glamour in a black dress that featured a matching feathered jacket to keep her warm on the carpet.

Meanwhile, Sharon opted for a three-piece black suit as she proudly posed with her daughter before receiving Ozzy's bittersweet award.

Kelly's attendance at a variety of public events over recent months has prompted genuine concern for her health and wellbeing, notably during a front row appearance at London Fashion Week on Sunday.

The singer and TV personality, who denies using weight loss jabs, looked considerably slimmer while attending Ascot Millinery Collective's latest catwalk presentation at Mayfair's Claridge's.

She has since called out her online abusers for subjecting her to a torrent of vile comments, among them an unsavoury remark about her late father, Ozzy, who passed away last July.

Taking to Instagram, Kelly shared a screenshot of the distasteful message, which read: 'Looks like a dead body... she's too thin and fragile... looks like she's going to see her dad soon,' followed by a string of laughing emojis.

Commenting on Monday, the mother of one, who also shared a handful of appalled responses to the post, wrote: 'Literally can't believe how disgusting some human beings are! No one deserves this sort of abuse!'
