Kelly Osbourne Has the Same Cancer Threat as Angelina Jolie and Will Undergo Surgery

Angelina Jolie is not alone in her fight against cancer. Kelly Osbourne has spoken up and revealed that she faces the same cancer threat as Angelina and will eventually have to get similar surgery.

Guesting on The Talk last Tuesday, she opened about her medical situation after Angelina told the New York Times that she chose to undergo preventive surgery to have her fallopian tubes and ovaries removed so she can reduce the risk of developing fatal cancers.

"I agree with this 100 percent," the 30-year old said before adding that she knows she will eventually have to do the surgery. 

She further revealed that she has the cancer gene, which increases the risk of cancer. Kelly found out that she, as well as her brother and sister, have it because of her mother, Sharon Osbourne who had survived colon cancer, had them tested when she found out that she has the gene and underwent double mastectomy.

Angelina's essay on the New York Times followed her essay two years ago when she explained why she chose to get a double mastectomy. Angelina, who shared her experiences to the world has been praised by many including cancer experts.

Kelly, who just recently quit her hosting gig on Fashion Police, did not say when she plans to get the surgery but expressed her desire to have children. She said, "If I have children, I want to be there to bring them up."
