KELLY Osbourne has hit back at cruel trolls who she says “dehumanised” her after she attended the Brits.
The television star, 41, has said she is going through “the hardest time of her life” seven months after the death of her father Ozzy Osbourne.
On Sunday night, Kelly and her mum Sharon Osbourne, 73, made a heartfelt speech in honour Ozzy as he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Just hours after the ceremony, Kelly took to social media to hit back at cruel trolls for the second time in a matter of weeks.
Taking to Instagram after her appearance at the Brit Awards on Saturday night in Manchester, Kelly shared a statement.
“There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something,” she penned.
Kelly went on: “Kicking me while I’m down, doubting my pain, spreading my struggles as gossip, and turning your back when I need support and love most.
“None of it proves strength; it only reveals and profound absence of compassion and character.
“I’m currently going through the hardest time in my life.
“I should not even have to defend myself.
“But I won’t sit here and allow myself to be dehumanised in such a way.”
Just days ago on February 24, Kelly his back at cruel trolls yet again when they callously claimed she “looks like a dead body”.
Just last week, the singer and TV star called out the vicious online trolls for subjecting her to a string of recent vile comments.
Posting an unsavoury comment to her social media where a cyber bully claimed she “looked like a dead body”, Kelly responded: “Literally can’t believe how disgusting some human beings are!
“No one deserves this sort of abuse!”
Kelly continued sticking up for herself as she posted yet another comment dissecting her weight loss and appearance.
She said: “This too shall pass, but like, holy f**k.”
The TV legend has been forced to fend off a torrent of online abuse since the tragic passing of her dad.
On Saturday night at the Brits, Kelly and Sharon accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of the late Ozzy Osbourne.
The Black Sabbath frontman died in July last year aged 76 just two weeks after his farewell concert in Birmingham.
Sharon described her late husband as “the most humble egomaniac you could ever meet”.
She then told the crowd, with Kelly by her side: “I’m honoured to accept this award from my gorgeous husband, this Lifetime Achievement Award.
“God knows, I wish he was here to accept it himself.”
