Kelly Osbourne has revealed she used to take so many drugs she ’embalmed’ her body every night.

The daughter of Sharon and Ozzy said she regularly took a cocktail of amphetamines, tranquilisers and marijuana.

The star told her friend DJ Fat Tony on his podcast, The Recovery: ‘I never thought I’d be alive at 35 years old.
‘A lot of my friends didn’t make it and burying them was hard. I had survivor’s guilt for a long time. I’m almost three years sober.’
The reality star also revealed how she would convince her mum Sharon that she was sober by showing her stolen Alcoholics Anonymous sobriety chips.

She said: ‘I never truly slept, I would pass out from whatever I drank or took and came to.
‘I was in a haze of hangovers and withdrawals. I don’t know how I did it for as long as I did. I embalmed my body.’
Kelly has been to rehab seven times and she was even locked in a padded cell to keep her off drugs.
She said she had her awakening in 2017 and decided she needed to change her ways.

Kelly revealed: ‘I was so wasted the whole time.
‘I hadn’t been to a grocery store in three years or done normal things. I thought, “I don’t want to live like this any more”.
‘I’d put blackout curtains in my house so I didn’t know what time it was. I realised I wasn’t going to make it. I’d be dead if I keep doing this.
‘I picked up the phone and I was really drunk when I called my brother Jack.’
He arrived in minutes, even though his efforts to help before had resulted in Kelly being abusive to him.
She said: ‘I got into his car. I was wearing a T-shirt and underwear. I remember saying to him, crying, “I don’t want to be a fat drunk loser any more. I want to be a skinny winner”.’
Kelly then checked into a new facility with a renewed energy and the help from her family.

During her drug taking days, Kelly admits the longest she went off substances was a month.
She said: ‘I’ve only ever had about 30 days of clean time, which is when I was in treatment, then I would come out and get high again.
‘But I lied about it. I used to steal 60-day AA chips and give them to my mum so she would take me out for dinner.’
