Kelly Osbourne is defending a recent selfie that she shared on Instagram.
The controversy began this weekend after the TV star posted a photo of herself wearing purple space buns and glam makeup with the caption, "suns out buns out."
Though her friends said in the comments section that she looked "gorgeous," others on Instagram argued that she looked unrecognizable. Some even suggested that she might have had plastic surgery done across her face.
Osbourne responded to the latter criticism on Tuesday, saying she has not had plastic surgery via a clip on Instagram. She also wrote "Let's squash these stupid rumours!!! Can't you just be happy for me?" in the video's caption.
"Good morning everyone," Osbourne said at the start of her video. "I'm currently in hair and makeup right now. I just wanna bring up a topic that you guys are all talking about because I'm always really honest and really upfront about what I've done to my body and who I am."
"And I have not had plastic surgery," she continued. "I've never done anything to my face other than a couple of injections in my lips, in my jaw, and in my forehead here. I do not lie - but thank you for the compliment."
Fellow celebrities have since applauded Osbourne in the comment section of her post.
"U look incredible," Vanessa Hudgens wrote. "F--- em."
"You look GORGEOUS!" Cheryl Burke of "Dancing with the Stars" added.
In the past, Osbourne has been open about losing weight and undergoing gastric sleeve surgery.
During an August 2020 appearance on the Hollywood Raw podcast, she said: "I had surgery; I don't give a f--- what anyone has to say. I did it, I'm proud of it, they can suck s---."
Osbourne, who described the surgery as "the best thing" she's "ever done," also pointed out that she still makes an effort to exercise and eat healthy.
"I want to be very clear about this kind of surgery I had," Osbourne said. "All it does is move you in the right direction. So, anyone who's thinking of doing something like this, really think about that."
Representatives for Kelly Osbourne did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
