Kelly Osbourne checks into rehab

Kelly Osbourne has checked herself into rehab.

Speaking to Radar Online, her mother Sharon confirmed that the 24-year-old had voluntarily entered a treatment centre outside the LA area.

"Yeah, Kelly's in rehab," she said. "What else can we say? She knew that it was the right thing to do at this point and we're proud that she did it.

"The family is all standing behind her. Kelly knew that she needed help and she's getting it."

The former X Factor judge declined to reveal what her daughter was being treated for, but said that she would remain at the facility for 30 days.

"Kelly will tell you herself when she gets out," she said. "We just pray that everything's going to be okay."

This is reportedly the third time that the Radio 1 DJ has checked into rehab. In 2004, she completed treatment for an addiction to prescription painkillers. However, she was reported to have admitted herself to a California clinic the following year after suffering a relapse.
