Kelly Osbourne has confessed that she suffered a relapse after her father Ozzy Osbourne died last year.
The TV personality has admitted she became “a shell” of her former self and started drinking again while grieving the loss of the Black Sabbath rocker, who died in July 2025.
“I was a shell of myself. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t do anything. I was just empty,” Kelly told Paul C. Brunson on his We Need To Talk podcast on Tuesday.
“Broken in every way a human being could possibly be broken and completely unable to even take care of myself. I was at ground zero. I started drinking again. I lost my mind. I couldn’t handle it.”
The Osbournes star, who has been open about her battles with drugs and alcohol over the years, noted that she has been sober again for the past eight months.
“I can honestly say today I’m eight months sober,” she declared. “I have the most incredible people around me. I closed my circle because I lost a lot of friends because people don’t like sadness and they expected me to be over it. I will never be over it.”
Kelly has been candid about her addiction struggles over the years, and previously revealed in 2021 that she had relapsed after four years of sobriety.
Elsewhere in the interview, the 41-year-old recalled her final conversation with the Crazy Train rocker three days before he died.
“He sat me down and said, ‘Tots, I need you to know something… No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing that there was one man on this planet that truly loved you, that truly loved you for every single thing you are. And that man is me,'” she remembered.
“And I started to cry, saying, ‘Please don’t talk like this’ because he said, ‘You know, I’m not going to be here forever and I know you struggle with people and believing you are loved. But I love you more than anyone.’ Three days later, he was gone.”
