Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Michelle Lee Osbourne (born 27 October 1984) is an English television personality, singer, actress, model, and fashion designer.

The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, she appeared on the reality show The Osbournes (2002–2005) with her family, for which they won a 2002 Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program.

As a singer, Osbourne has released two studio albums: Shut Up (2002) and Sleeping in the Nothing (2005).

Osbourne and the rest of her family (without Aimee) starred on the MTV reality show The Osbournes, which aired from 2002 to 2005.

The series chronicled their day-to-day life, portraying a dysfunctional family in which metal music, profanity and other harshness were a daily part of life.

Kelly, the middle child, emerged (according to Rolling Stone) as "a wickedly funny, brutally honest, pint-size, potty-mouthed spitfire."

The series started when she was seventeen, and ended when she was twenty.

Kelly said in an interview for The Osbournes DVD that the crew were only actually supposed to be there for a few weeks but ended up staying for a few months and that the constant cameras focusing on her and her family was stressful.

In 2002, during the second season of The Osbournes, Kelly dated The Used lead singer Bert McCracken.

The show was filmed in California, US.

where the family has had their residence for several decades.

Both she and the Osbourne family were parodied in Channel 4 comedy Bo' Selecta in which the rubber-masked Kelly, played by Leigh Francis, has her own show and is always being censored for swearing with bleeps.

After her appearance on the reality show, Osbourne quickly began to be noted for her varied and trendy style among fashion commentators like Steven Cojocaru.

Her debut album, Shut Up, was released by Epic Records in 2002 to moderate US sales, but good European sales.

The lead single, a cover of Madonna's "Papa Don't Preach", debuted with Houston rock band Pure Rubbish at the 2002 MTV Film Awards.

In 2003, she collaborated with her father Ozzy on the single "Changes" (a Black Sabbath song) which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart.

Osbourne was born at Portland Hospital in Westminster, London.

She has an elder sister, Aimee, and a younger brother, Jack.

From Ozzy's first marriage, she also has two half-siblings: Jessica Hobbs and Louis John Osbourne.

She had an unofficially "adopted" brother, Robert Marcato, whom Sharon and Ozzy took in after Marcato's mother died.

Kelly grew up travelling with her father as he went on tour, and lived in more than 20 homes, mostly in the US, as well as in the UK.

Her maternal grandfather was Don Arden (Harry Levy), an English music manager.

Her mother is of Irish and Jewish descent.

Osbourne attended private schools in England including Pipers Corner School.

The album, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, was met with mixed critical reviews and, by May 2003, Osbourne was dropped from Epic Records.

By autumn she was on the Sanctuary label, later recording a duet of "Changes" (a Black Sabbath song) with her father.

The duet hit No. 1 on the UK charts and resulted in a reissue of Shut Up, titled Changes.

"Changes" was one of a few tracks to have fallen down the charts (from 1–3) whilst selling more copies than the week it reached number 1.

Osbourne was the first artists to top all three of the Billboard charts dance surveys in the same week with the "Chris Cox Club Remix" of "One Word".

Her second album Sleeping in the Nothing was not without controversy, due to its reportedly heavily altered album cover, in which Osbourne appeared slimmer, despite her previous assertions of being happy with her size.

In 2004, Osbourne launched her own fashion line, Stiletto Killers, with her friend and former sponsor, Ali Barone.

Stiletto Killers was a rock-inspired line of tees, knickers, hoodies and sweatpants designed by Osbourne and Barone, emblazoned with cartoonish designs and punk rock phrases.

There was also a more sophisticated couture branch, the SK Collection.

Osbourne made her debut as an actress with a starring role on 7 October 2004 on the ABC high school teenage drama Life as We Know It, where she played the supporting role of Deborah Beatrice Tynan.

On 2 April 2004, Osbourne entered the Malibu rehab facility Promises after admitting to her family that she was addicted to painkillers.

During an interview in late 2005, Osbourne denied reports she was ending her music career, saying: "I don't know where the quit rumours came from – I've just recorded a version of 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' with Cyndi Lauper."

Stiletto Killers closed in April 2006.

Osbourne was a presenter on Project Catwalk (2007–2008) and Fashion Police (2010–2015) and a judge on Project Runway Junior (2015–2017) and Australia's Got Talent (2016).

In 2009, she was a contestant on the dancing competition show Dancing with the Stars, in which she and her professional dance partner Louis Van Amstel took third place.

She also played the voice role of Hildy Gloom in the Disney XD animated series The 7D (2014–2016).
