Kelly Osbourne Shares Sweet Halloween Video With Her Son Sidney
Kelly gave fans a peek at her Halloween celebrations with her three-year-old son, Sidney, in a video shared to her Instagram Stories on October 26th, just ahead of her 42nd birthday.
In the clip, Sidney initially hid behind a set of curtains before jumping out to surprise his mom with a playful “Boo!” He then began singing “Happy Birthday” to Kelly before giving her a big hug, making for a particularly sweet moment between the two.
In another video, Sidney presented his mom with an “emotional support bat,” a particularly meaningful gift given that it was a tribute to his late grandfather, Ozzy Osbourne. The legendary frontman, who died last July, was famously associated with bats throughout his career. Kelly became visibly emotional as she opened the gift, sharing her reaction with followers.

Fans Defend Kelly From Comments About Her Body
The heartwarming birthday posts also come just weeks after the former View co-host opened up about her recent health struggles and revealed that she had gained nearly 30 pounds following a period of significant weight loss.
In an interview with The Sun, Kelly explained that her dramatic change in appearance was connected to the grief she experienced after losing her father. She clarified that she had not been struggling with an eating disorder, but had reached a point where she was so overwhelmed by grief that she struggled to take care of herself and even found eating difficult.
As various accounts reposted the video, some users began criticizing Kelly's appearance, writing comments like, "Is it me or does she look like she has a pregnancy baby bump?" and "She should get a spray tan."
However, fans also took to the comments to cheer her on and defend her.
"She's starting to look better," a fan wrote. "Hopefully, her health is better."
"Kelly looks like she is getting healthier," wrote a fan, as another echoed, "That is so, so sweet, and Kelly looks SO much healthier."
"I know her dad's passing was so hard for her; I'm glad she seems to be healing," they continued.
"I'm happy they both look so much better," a fan added, referencing her and her mom, Sharon Osbourne. "Time always helps with pain. I wish you the best."
