Kelly Osbourne has responded to online criticism of her appearance, stating that it is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone clearly going through a difficult time. This comes after her appearance at the Brit Awards to honor her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, sparked concern and criticism. Osbourne's mother Sharon defended her daughter during the ceremony. This is not the first time Osbourne publicly addressed criticism about her appearance; she previously stated that her family is not alone in their pain and that she is focusing on her family's legacy.
