Kelly Osbourne joins "Dancing with the Stars" as one of the contestants for Season 9 of the ABC ballroom competition. Most recently Kelly Osbourne was one of the hosts of FOX's variety hour, "Osbournes: Reloaded."

A singer, actress and media personality, Kelly Osbourne's father is rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, and her mother is well-known TV personality Sharon Osbourne. Kelly Osbourne got her start at the age of 16 in the first-ever "celebrity reality" TV show, "The Osbournes," with her famous family, which garnered an Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program in 2002. Kelly Osbourne has gone on to achieve success in not only television, but also radio, musical theater and fashion. Kelly Osbourne continues to set new challenges for herself with projects that include a cameo in a BBC drama, a film role and a reunion with her family for "Osbournes: Reloaded."

In September 2007, Kelly Osbourne made her London theater debut—and history—by becoming the youngest person ever to play the role of Mama Morton in the hit musical "Chicago," which earned her a Woman of the Year Award as voted by the readers of Glamour magazine. Kelly Osbourne hosted the popular British fashion show "Project Catwalk," in addition to "Turning Japanese," "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here…Now!" and "The BRIT Awards 2008."

After making her debut as an actress with a starring role in the teen drama "Life As We Know It" in October 2004, Kelly Osbourne went on to play the role of Wendy from Peter Pan in "The Queen's Handbag" in 2006 and provided a voice for the animated film "Live Freaky Die Freaky." Kelly Osbourne returned to acting in summer 2008 when she starred in the short musical film, "The Town That Boars Me," by photographer Ben Charles Edwards, and has since made an appearance on the successful BBC show "Hotel Babylon."

Kelly Osbourne joined the award-winning Radio 1 team in October 2007 for the Sunday night show "The Surgery," offering advice to teenagers. Kelly Osbourne has earned recognition for her participation in the show and launched her own "agony sister" column in the British newspaper The Sun. Kelly Osbourne considers being an Ambassador for the Prince's Trust one of her greatest achievements, and says "it's an "honor to be asked to help give the young people of Britain a second chance."

At a young age, Kelly Osbourne became a successful recording artist in Europe and Asia, with her first single "Papa Don't Preach." Kelly Osbourne's debut album "Shut Up," was released in 2002, and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Kelly Osbourne had a No. 1 hit on the British charts with "Changes," a duet she sang with her father. Kelly Osbourne followed her debut album in 2005 with "Sleeping in the Nothing," which included the highly successful single "One Word," which hit No. 1 on all three Billboard Dance charts simultaneously.

As well as her ongoing support for her mother's charity, The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Programme, Kelly Osbourne has also worked with the Jeans for Genes campaign, which helps children affected by genetic disorders.

Kelly Osbourne lives in London and Los Angeles.
