(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Amy Winehouse is the first person Kelly Osboune has "loved and lost", her mother Sharon has shared.

The 26-year-old reality star has been devastated by the loss of her "best friend" who was found dead at her home in North London last month after a long battle with drugs and alcohol.

Sharon told People magazine that Kelly is finding it very difficult to cope with because the two were so close.

"There's nothing I can do to take Kelly's pain away," the America's Got Talent judge said.

"This was the first person she's loved who she's lost. That in itself made her frightened and shocked. She's gone through all these different emotions."

Sharon believes "time" is the only thing which will ease her daughter's pain.

"It's all part of life, isn't it?" Sharon said practically. "We thank God we're here and we're healthy and we do what we do.

"But some people aren't as fortunate as us. It's all a part of it. Life and death are as much a part of living, unfortunately." (C) Cover Media
