Kelly Osbourne, 41, appears in the new documentary If These Walls Could Rock, a film examining the rock and roll history of West Hollywood's legendary Sunset Marquis hotel, and in it she shared one of the more startling revelations of her public life.

"I did my first line of cocaine in this hotel, which was given to me by one of my dad's friends in a very, very, very big band," she said. "And I could never tell my parents because they would kill him." She did not name the person. The hotel was a Osbourne family landmark, the only place Ozzy could stay at the time where he could, as Kelly put it, "misbehave politely."

The documentary reveal comes as Kelly has been publicly reckoning with the aftermath of her father's death.

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025 at age 76, weeks after Black Sabbath played a final show in Birmingham. In the months since, Kelly has spoken candidly about how grief affected her appearance, she said she did not realize how much weight she had lost until she looked in the mirror and told USA Today "I looked like the Crypt Keeper."

After drawing cruel online comments about her appearance at the 2026 BRIT Awards, she said she should not have to defend herself while going through "the hardest time in my life."
