I am holding tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind,” she wrote.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px;display:block" width="700"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1772690584198[image] - 2287817.jpeg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="700"/><span class="fr-inner">Photo from @kellyosbourne</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>This isn’t the first time Kelly has publicly responded to online commentary about her appearance.</p><p>In February, she took to Instagram to call out abusive comments, posting screenshots of messages aimed at her with the caption: “Literally can’t believe how disgusting some human beings truly are!
