"You know, it's just such a beautiful thing that his peers are showing their love and respect for his work tonight, and it's going to be an emotional experience for us," she says.

Kelly gets candid when asked how she's holding up since the rocker's death, saying she's been "okay."

"I won't lie," she says. "I won't be one of those people that say I'm fine because I'm not. That's the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life."

"But I have my man, and I have my gorgeous baby, and my mom and my brother and I so bonded. I didn't think we could ever get more bonded, but we did," Kelly, who is engaged to Sid Wilson, continues.

"And my father was one of the greatest men to ever live [on] the planet. And to show I don't have enough gratitude to the Grammys for what they're doing tonight. You know, it's a really beautiful thing," adds Kelly.

Speaking further about her late father, Kelly said that there is many ways she keeps him alive following his death.

"There's so many things that we do that we always keep a seat at the table for him," she says. "I light a candle every day. For him, I wear a locket. It's under my dress, you can't see it, but it has his picture in it, and my baby opens it every day and gives it a kiss and says hi to Papa."
