NEW YORK - may have lost a loved one, but she's not ready to lose her place on "."
The 48-year-old singer, who missed Tuesday's results show after the death of father George Osmond, will continue to compete on the top-rated dance competition, ABC publicist Aime Wolfe said Wednesday.
Osmond will also appear with family members -- including brother Donny -- on Oprah Winfrey's talk show Friday, said Don Halcombe, a publicist at Harpo, Winfrey's production company.
She skipped Tuesday's live broadcast of "Dancing" to be in Utah with her family.
, who missed an elimination show last month after the death of her mother, was voted off the dance competition.
"I've had a ball," the 56-year-old actress told the Web site People.com after Tuesday's show. "It's been great. Tony (Dovolani, Seymour's dance partner) is incredibly talented and he's class. He showed me in my best light."
George Osmond, patriarch to the Osmond family's singing group, The Osmond Brothers, died Tuesday at age 90. Family spokesman Kevin Sasaki said Osmond died at his home in Provo, Utah. Because he had not been ill, he likely died from natural causes incident to his age, Sasaki said.
