Kelly Osbourne is well aware of the recent reactions to her weight loss — and she's had enough.
In a lengthy statement she filmed and posted to her Instagram Stories, the 41-year-old former reality star called out the "disgusting, horrible, mean, rude comments" she's been getting since her dad, Ozzy Osbourne, died July 22 at the age of 76 following a series of health issues.
Kelly began a now-expired video she posted on Wednesday by acknowledging the support she has received during her time of mourning, but she then addressed some of the not-so-lovely remarks she's seen about her body.
"I'm just here to say, 'What do you expect from me? What do you expect me to look like right now?'," she said. "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."

She continued, "For example, you say that I look ill. Well, I am ill right now. 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."
Osbourne added that she has been committed to keeping it "100 percent honest" by sharing her "struggles" with others but that the "mean comments are helping nobody."
"They're just making you feel big and clever and like you've achieved something, but all you've achieved is being a bully," she said. "It's sick."

As she concluded her series of videos, she addressed specific remarks that have been affecting her. "The thing that I find the most disappointing in all of this is that most of the comments are coming from grown-ass women," she said. "Women that say they're counselors, women that are mothers, women who look like they have weight struggles of their own."****"And it's absolutely devastating that women can't support other women," she continued. "They'd rather tear them down when their dad just died. It's disgusting, and I've had enough of it. So, go f--- yourself."

The videos follow her mother Sharon Osbourne's recent interview with British broadcaster Piers Morgan this week. During her appearance, Morgan ran a since-deleted clip that Kelly posted to Instagram in which she blasted critics who have been commenting on her body.
"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," Kelly told her followers in the clip showed on *Piers Morgan Uncensored*. "And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life — not the miserable side of my life."**
She then shifted her tone, adding, "So to all those people: F--- off."
After Morgan ran the clip, Sharon defended her daughter. "She's right," she said. "She's lost her daddy. She can't eat right now."

Kelly, who has a 3-year-old son, Sid, has been candid about her battle with grief following her father's death. In the week after the former Black Sabbath frontman's funeral on July 30, she shared an Instagram Story that thanked fans for their support and them on her emotional state.
"The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life," she wrote at the time. "Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain."
"Grief is a strange thing," she added. "It sneaks up on you in waves."
"I will not be okay for a while," she admitted, but said the fact that her family is "not alone" in their pain "makes a difference."
"I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind," Kelly said. "Thank you for being there. I love you all so much."

Since Ozzy's death, her family members, including her brother, Jack Osbourne, have been paying tribute to the late death-metal pioneer and calling out commenters who they think have tried to tarnish his legacy.
"We've had quite a few nutters coming out of the woodwork," Kelly revealed during a November tribute episode of *The Osbournes Podcast, *"saying that they're speaking to dad from the grave."
She added later that those comments get to her. "That really bothers me," Kelly said. "I think it's severely inappropriate."
But through it all, Sharon noted, the Osbournes have had fans on their side during their difficult time.
"I'm still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am for the overwhelming love and support you've shown on social media," Sharon captioned a previous video. "Your comments, posts, and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know. None of it has gone unnoticed. In fact, it's carried me through many nights."**
