The correct saying or correct grammar would be "really bad" since "really badly" would sound bad when saying or writing that.

So you would say oh my it's really bad what happened to them.

Because saying oh my it's really badly what happened to them wouldn't sound or read correctly.

So you should write or say "really bad" instead of really badly because the first one is the correct one.
