Kelly Osbourne posed for cameras alongside her mum Sharon at the Brits on Saturday evening, just days after calling out an online troll for making comments about her appearance.

The reality TV star, 41, took to Instagram earlier this week to reveal one of the hurtful messages she received about her look.

She shared a screenshot of the distasteful message, in which one social media user had criticised: "Looks like a dead body...

"She's too thin and fragile... looks like she's going to see her dad soon," followed by a string of laughing emojis.

Kelly hit back on Monday, replying directly to the comments: "Literally can't believe how disgusting some human beings are! No one deserves this sort of abuse!

In a second post, she added: "This too shall pass, but like, holy f***."

Kelly didn't let it stop her from supporting her mum at this year's Brits, which have headed to Manchester for the first time.

In what promises to be a jam-packed evening, Kelly and Sharon hit the Brits red carpet together before a one-of-a-kind musical tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.

Comedian Jack Whitehall returns for his sixth consecutive year as presenter, though this marks his first time hosting from the north.

And the evening's finale will see Robbie Williams front a star-studded tribute to Ozzy, who passed away last July aged 76 following a cardiac arrest at his Buckinghamshire home.

Sharon personally invited Williams to lead the performance, given his longstanding friendship with the family and admiration for the music.

She has curated a special arrangement of No More Tears, the title track from Ozzy's multi-million-selling 1991 album.

Mr Williams will be joined onstage by musicians who performed alongside Osbourne throughout his career, including lead guitarist Zakk Wylde, Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo and Tommy Clufetos.

The Black Sabbath frontman's death came just three weeks after his farewell concert at Birmingham's Villa Park, where he reunited with original bandmates before more than 42,000 fans.

The Lifetime Achievement award recognises Ozzy's extraordinary five-decade career, during which he accumulated more than 100 million album sales worldwide.

His catalogue spans 19 studio albums and eight live records with Black Sabbath, featuring iconic tracks such as Paranoid, Iron Man and Children of the Grave, alongside 13 solo studio albums.

Stacey Tang, chair of the 2026 Brit Awards Committee, described him as "a mighty force in modern music" who "reshaped the sound and spirit of rock, inspiring generations of artists who followed."

Industry recognition included five Grammy awards and induction into both the UK Music Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, achieved separately with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist.

Ozzy previously hosted the BRITs in 2008 alongside Sharon, Kelly and Jack.

Harry Styles headlines the evening's performances, marking his live television debut of material from his latest album, Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.

Olivia Dean, who leads this year's nominations alongside Lola Young with five nods each, will also take to the stage following her intimate Manchester Albert Hall set earlier this week.

Raye returns after her record-breaking 2024 appearance, whilst Wolf Alice perform, having secured three nominations, including Group of the Year and Mastercard Album of the Year for The Clearing.

Mark Ronson will both perform and collect the Outstanding Contribution to Music award, describing it as "the most meaningful honour of my career."

The international lineup features Spanish star Rosalía, American breakthrough artist Alex Warren, and SOMBR, alongside HUNTR/X vocalists EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami.
