“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 said on Instagram.

“And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life, not the miserable side of my life. So to all those people, f*** off.”

Sharon defends her daughter

Her mom was quick to agree and defend her daughter.

“She’s right,” Sharon told Morgan. “She’s lost her daddy, she can’t eat right now.”

Sharon told Morgan that she’s “unhappy” with critics who use social media as a shield to spew negativity.

“How many times have we been wrong about somebody because of our perception?” said Sharon, per New York Post’s Page Six.

“But you and I don’t take the point where we’d spend a second — wasting a second of our lives in writing something about them … Going on their site, taking their time, writing. That’s a lot of effort goes into that.”

Kelly has been open about her struggles

Kelly has always been transparent about her struggles with weight and her body image.

In an interview with PEOPLE earlier this year, Osbourne said she’s regularly targeted and harassed for her appearance.

Ozzy’s daughter said she’s been a drug addict, an alcoholic and a “complete mess.” She admitted that she’s been “disrespectful to people,” but got more crap for “being fat than anything I did for anything else. It’s insane.”

“You’ll never read an article about me that hasn’t got a comment about my weight,” said Kelly. “People (would) say, ‘You’re so pretty. Why don’t you just lose a little bit of weight, and then you’ll be the total package.’”

Kelly said the negativity had taken a toll on her mentally.

The final word on Instagram

While she deleted her initial response to her critics, Kelly popped back up on Instagram on Wednesday to say that those sending hateful messages to her are likely insecure about themselves.

“All you’ve achieved is being a bully,” she said, per Page Six. “It’s sick. You’re mentally ill.”
