Kelly Osbourne is sharing how she handles family health issues nowadays following years of “health scare after health scare.”

The TV personality, 40, exclusively told PEOPLE at the Clarins’ Beauty Icons event in Los Angeles on Friday, March 21, how she’s feeling after she and her 2-year-old son Sidney recovered from having respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), days-long fevers and breathing issues in late December.

“There’s health scare after health scare and you have to sit there and you have to realize what is real, what is not, what is important, what is healthy, and what makes you feel the best version of yourself,” Osbourne says. “And that's what I work toward, is always trying to just be the best version of me.”

During the recent RSV scare, the British fashion designer posted videos to Instagram Stories of herself using a breathing machine and shared that her son had an ear infection too, per Page Six at the time.

The mom previously opening up to PEOPLE about the scary moment when Sidney had a umbilical cord wrapped around his neck during his birth.

“I got him out in four pushes. Before we started pushing, he turned and the cord got wrapped around his neck,” she recalled. “So when we got going, the doctor was like, ‘Ok, we're going to have this person and we have to do this quickly.’ So I was like, ‘Ok, we're doing this, I'm going to get him out and in four pushes he popped out.’ ”

Sidney’s dad also had a health scare in 2024.

The 48-year-old musician suffered burns after a bonfire “explosion” at his farm in August. At the time, he updated fans from the hospital via Instagram, sharing photos of himself in the ambulance and during his recovery. He said on Instagram Stories, “But everyone, I’m OK. I’m OK … I’m a trouper. Not exactly, but I’m hanging in there pretty good. I’m in good hands. I just wanted to come on here and let everybody know that I’m OK. Obviously if I’m on here talking to you the way I am, it’s not terrible.”
