Kelly Michelle Lee Osbourne (born 27 October 1984) is an English television personality, singer, actress, and fashion designer. She is the youngest daughter of famous musicians Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne.

Kelly became well-known when she appeared on the reality TV show The Osbournes from 2002 to 2005 with her family. The show won an Emmy Award in 2002 for being an outstanding reality program. She has also hosted shows like Project Catwalk and Fashion Police. Kelly competed on Dancing with the Stars and was a judge on Project Runway Junior and Australia's Got Talent. She also voiced Hildy Gloom in the animated series The 7D.

As a singer, Kelly Osbourne has released two studio albums: Shut Up (2002) and Sleeping in the Nothing (2005). In 2003, she sang a duet with her father, Ozzy, called "Changes". This song reached number one on the UK music charts.

Early life and family

Kelly Osbourne was born in Westminster, London, England. She has an older sister named Aimee Osbourne and a younger brother named Jack Osbourne. She also has two half-siblings from her father's first marriage.

Kelly grew up traveling a lot because her father was often on tour with his band. She lived in many different homes in both the United States and the United Kingdom. Her maternal grandfather, Don Arden, was a well-known music manager.

Kelly attended private schools in England, including Pipers Corner School.

Career highlights

Starting with The Osbournes and music

Kelly Osbourne and her family (except Aimee) starred in the MTV reality show The Osbournes. This show aired from 2002 to 2005 and showed their daily lives. Kelly was seventeen when the show started and twenty when it ended. She mentioned that having cameras around all the time could be stressful.

After the show, Kelly became known for her unique and changing fashion style. In 2004, she started her own fashion line called Stiletto Killers. This line featured rock-inspired clothing like T-shirts and hoodies. It also had a more fancy collection called the SK Collection. Stiletto Killers closed in 2006.
