Kelly Osbourne has fired off a furious statement in response to the reception she received following Saturday's Brit Awards.
Less than a week after taking to Instagram to hit back at "body shaming" trolls who commented on her appearance, Ms Osbourne felt obliged to return to the platform once more after Saturday's ceremony.
The 41-year-old accompanied her mother to the Brits, where her late father Ozzy was receiving a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award.
Dressed in a sleeveless black gown, Ms Osbourne joined her mother on stage as they accepted the award on her father's behalf, but viewers at home were distracted from the pair's heartfelt speech.

Social media was flooded with ITV viewers voicing their concerns for Ms Osbourne, with many citing a change in her appearance since her father's death as a cause for worry.
And now, Ms Osbourne has hit back, hitting back at trolls who mocked or criticised her look during what was a poignant night for her family.
In a post on Instagram in the early hours of Sunday, Ms Osbourne penned: "There is a special kind of cruelty in harming someone who is clearly going through something.
"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.

"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 dehumanized (sic) in such a way," the TV personality signed off.
Ms Osbourne's defiant words echo those that she fired off earlier this week after an internet troll accused her of "looking like a dead body".

In a second post, she added: "This too shall pass, but like, holy f***."
Ms Osbourne didn't let the backlash stop her from supporting her mother on Saturday evening, joining the former X Factor judge on stage to pay tribute to the late Black Sabbath star.
Ms Osbourne's mum began: "I’m honoured to accept this award for my gorgeous husband. I wish he was here to accept it himself.

"He’ll be saying, ‘Hey, Mrs, shut the f*** up. Just say thank you and get off that stage’. But I’m not going to, because I have to waffle on a bit.”
She went on to reflect on how “fickle” the music industry can be, adding: "My old man was blessed with a one in a million career. He was at the top of his game for 56 years."
She continued: "Ozzy was authentic. He was a gifted, totally unpredictable, wild man. He was a true artist."

"I hope I don’t disrespect Manchester by saying this, but up the Villa and Birmingham forever," the 41-year-old said.
The pair’s tribute was then followed by a performance, curated by Sharon, which consisted of a special arrangement of Black Sabbath’s 1991 song No More Tears.
It was fronted by Robbie Williams, who was joined on stage by musicians who have previously played as part of Ozzy’s band, including keyboardist Adam Wakeman, Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, drummer Tommy Clufetos, and guitarist Zakk Wylde.
