Melissa Rivers is stepping into her mother’s shoes on Fashion Police – and Kelly Osbourne couldn’t be happier!
“This is what should have happened from day one,” Osbourne, 30, told PEOPLE at Logo TV’s Trailblazer Honors in New York City on Thursday. “Melissa always should have been there.”

Notably missing from that statement is Fashion Police host Giuliana Rancic. Osbourne previously told PEOPLE that Rancic’s comments about Zendaya’s dreadlocks were “really heartbreaking”
“When [Melissa] called me to tell me, I was like screaming, jumping up and down because I’m like, continue the legacy!” Osbourne said.
“I will always, always love, love, love the time I spent working with Joan [Rivers] and George [Kotsiopoulos] and Melissa,” she said. “They’re the most incredible people. They’re still part of my family.”

While she won’t miss being a panelist, Osbourne said she is “forever grateful to E! for giving me the opportunity to work with not only one of my idols, but somebody that became like my grandmother for five and a half years.”
