Kelly Osbourne has dismissed the idea that she used the popular weight-loss drug Ozempic, despite previously calling it amazing.

The drug Ozempic has caused concern in recent months despite many a celebrity who said it helped them quickly lose weight. The drug is primarily aimed at helping people manage type 2 diabetes, and many have slammed its use by celebrities.

Kelly Osbourne’s mother, Sharon Osbourne has publicly explained that she was able to lose significant amounts of weight while taking the drug, but also shared a warning.

Sharon said: "You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous."

However, Kelly wanted to address the rumors that she was using the drug following the birth of her son, Sidney, in 2022.

Speaking in an interview with Extra, she said she rapidly lost the weight simply by cutting out sugar and carbohydrates.

“I know everybody thinks I took Ozempic. I did not take Ozempic. I don't know where that came from. My mom took Ozempic,” she said.

“I had gestational diabetes, and I had to lose the weight that I had gained during pregnancy, otherwise I was at a higher risk of actually getting diabetes, which I did not want.'

“I cut out sugar and carbohydrates and I rapidly lost weight.”

While Kelly has said she hasn’t used the drug, her mother has been candid about her use and its impact.

After she stopped taking the drug in November of last year, Sharon said she now felt she looked too ‘gaunt’.

"I’m too gaunt and I can’t put any weight on.

"I want to, because I feel I’m too skinny. I’m under 100lb and I don’t want to be."

She also explained some of the less than favorable effects of the drug she encountered since she started taking it in December 2022.

Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Osbourne said of feeling nauseous: "You don’t throw up physically, but you’ve got that feeling, and I was about two, three weeks where I felt nauseous the whole time.

"You get very thirsty, and you don’t want to eat. That’s it."

She also said the drug needed to be kept out of the hands of teenagers who may see it as a shortcut to healthy weight loss.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has addressed the side effects that some people experience and said that 'the benefits of Ozempic outweigh its risks'.

The full statement issued to UNILAD said: "The FDA maintains that the benefits of Ozempic outweigh its risks when used according to the approved labeling."
