"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," the "Fashion Police" actress said, per People Magazine.

Kelly continued, "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-ck off."

Sharon didn't hesitate to back her daughter's message, stating, "She's right. She's lost her daddy, she can't eat right now."

Kelly, now 41, has been in the spotlight since she was a teenager on "The Osbournes," and has been dealing with constant criticism of her every move.

The singer has also spoken openly for years about the harsh scrutiny she has faced over her body transformations.

At an event in May, Kelly told People that criticism about her weight has always eclipsed anything else she's been through.

"I have been a drug addict, an alcoholic … I've been a complete mess, disrespectful to people, horrible — but I got more sh-t for being fat than I did for anything else," she said. "It's insane."

Kelly noted that no matter what she weighs, the comments about her body never stop.

"You'll never read an article about me that hasn't got a comment about my weight," she shared. "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."

The TV personality noted that hearing that constantly messed with her mentally.

Kelly further explained that she tried nearly every method imaginable: surgery, medication, strict diets, exercise, until she eventually focused on her mental health first, which helped everything else align.

"I got my mind where I needed it to be, and everything started to fall into place," she shared.

Kelly also revealed that during her pregnancy with her son Sid, now 3, she secluded herself for nine months after gaining 100 pounds.

She explained that she feared suffering the public shaming she watched happen to Jessica Simpson, who was mocked for her pregnancy weight gain.

"I was so frightened that it would happen to me too that I hid. I just didn't want pictures out there. I didn't want to face it, and have people be like, 'Oh, she's a moose!' So I just cut the problem out," she recalled.

But staying home had one unexpected blessing: time with her now-late father, Ozzy. With her partner Sid Wilson away on tour, Kelly moved back in with her parents and spent nearly every day with the rock star.

"We played Jenga, we played cards, we had like 20 different TV shows we were watching at once," she recalled, per People. "He would go on my diet, and I'd go on his diet, and then we'd work out in the pool together, because his physical therapy was similar to what I was supposed to be doing. We had the best time together."

Despite the recent scrutiny, Kelly looked confident and upbeat as she posed for photos with guests and alongside Sear at the event.

Although she first went blonde last year, she didn't reveal the shorter cut until January. By May, she was already leaning into old-Hollywood glamour, showing off her waved hairstyle on Instagram and crediting Marilyn Monroe as her inspiration.

Sharing a selfie at the time, Kelly wrote, "I love a little Marilyn look to get this Saturday started!!!!!"
