During a recent interview with The Mail on Sunday, Osbourne discussed the scary situation she found herself in, as she struggled to recognize the person looking back at her in the mirror.
"I looked like the f---ing Crypt Keeper," Osbourne said. "I said, 'This is scary.' I didn't know I looked like this. My spine — you could see every single bone. I couldn't see what other people saw because I was in so much pain. I just saw a broken person."
As the interview continued, Osbourne admitted that she even explored ways to hide her features when making public appearances. She used the Grammy Awards, which were held in February, as an example. Osbourne explained how she "wore a wig to cover my face, so you couldn't see how skinny my cheekbones really were."
Osbourne also admitted that ahead of those awards, her team searched for an outfit that would help hide the severe weight loss as she navigated her grief.
"They knew I was going through something," Osbourne said. "So, we were trying to find clothes that would not make me look skinnier."
Kelly Osbourne Is Planning a Three-Part Docuseries on Grief
The hardest part about going through a tragedy is finding ways to see how good can come from it. However, Osbourne appears to have found a way to do just that. During the same interview, she revealed that she's planning a three-part docuseries that follows her throughout her grieving period. The hope is that it can help others dealing with the pain of bereavement.
"I'm [telling] my story because there's a lot that people don't know," she explained. "The person I was before my dad died is dead. That person doesn't exist anymore."
Hopefully, Osbourne is doing much better now, and she is starting to trend back to a healthier weight. Grief is a powerful emotion that can take years to overcome. Maybe the docuseries will be cathartic, both for her and for anyone else going through a similar situation.
