Two days after saying goodbye to her father, Kelly broke her silence with a heartfelt message.
'I feel unhappy. I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔,' she shared on her Instagram story on July 24.
Kelly and her family gathered on July 30 for a funeral procession in Ozzy's hometown of Birmingham, England, to honor the late heavy metal icon.
As a tribute to her father, Kelly wore a pair of round wire-trimmed sunglasses — a nod to one of Ozzy's signature looks.
Ozzy was laid to rest the next day beside the lake at his home in Buckinghamshire for a private funeral with his star-studded fellow rockers in attendance.

Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J was admitted to the hospital once again to address her ongoing complications.

'6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery,' Jessie wrote on Saturday, Aug. 2. 'Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.' The singer's testing revealed an infection and fluid in her lungs, but has not been explicitly detailed.

Who Is Luiza Rozova? Putin's Alleged Love Child Breaks Silence
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Elizaveta Krivonogikh, also known as Luiza Rozova, has gone public with sharp criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin—her alleged father—more than a year after vanishing from social media. Now living in Paris under a new name, she's distancing herself from the Kremlin and the luxury lifestyle she once displayed online. In a series of Telegram posts obtained by the German newspaper Bild, Krivonogikh wrote about a man "who took millions of lives and destroyed mine." The 22-year-old did not name Putin directly, but the reference was widely interpreted as her first public break with the Russian leader. "It's liberating to be able to show my face to the world again," she added. "It reminds me of who I am and who destroyed my life." A New Life in Paris Born in St. Petersburg in 2003, Krivonogikh has been long rumored to be the daughter of Putin and former cleaner Svetlana Krivonogikh. After Luiza's birth, her mother's financial fortunes rose sharply. While there has never been official confirmation of Putin's paternity, Krivonogikh's patronymic—Vladimirovna—and past investigative reports have fueled speculation for years.

On right, Elizaveta Krivonogikh. More Getty Images / Telegram She once posted regularly on Instagram, sharing photos of private jets, elite nightclubs and designer fashion. But her account disappeared around the time Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Now, according to multiple reports, she goes by Elizaveta Rudnova and works at two Paris art galleries—L Galerie in Belleville and Espace Albatros in Montreuil—both known for hosting anti-war exhibitions. She graduated from the ICART School of Cultural and Art Management in 2024 and helps organize shows and produce video content. Caught Between Politics Krivonogikh's new life has not been without controversy. Russian artist Nastya Rodionova, who fled Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, ended her collaboration with both galleries after learning of Krivonogikh's involvement. "It is inadmissible to allow a person who comes from a family of beneficiaries of the regime to come into confrontation with the victims of that regime," Rodionova said in a public statement. Krivonogikh defended herself, asking, "Am I really responsible for the activities of my family, who can't even hear me?" Some in the Paris art community have supported her. Dmitry Dolinsky, who runs the association that oversees both galleries, told Bild: "She looks like Putin, but so do 100,000 other people. I haven't seen a DNA test." Others described her as cultured and committed to her work. Her mother was sanctioned by the United Kingdom in 2023 over her ties to Putin's inner circle. Krivonogikh has since traded designer labels for activism, signaling a full break from the image she once embraced. "My life is ruined," she wrote recently, referencing the man she holds responsible for both personal and national destruction. She now appears focused on rebuilding her identity—and making it clear that she wants no part of the legacy she inherited.

Jack Osbourne admitted he's ‘not close at all' with sister Aimee days before Ozzy's death
Jack Osbourne opened up about his relationship with his rarely-seen sister, Aimee, shortly before their legendary father passed away last month. Jack, 39, admitted that he and Aimee, 41, were 'not close at all' during an episode of Katie Maloney and Dayna Kathan's 'Disrespectfully' podcast released July 16. 'We don't have a great relationship. She'll be the first to tell you that,' he said one week before Ozzy's death. 'So, it's no secret.'

AARON PARFITT / BACKGRID While Jack and his other older sister, Kelly, 40, garnered fame after starring in MTV's 'The Osbournes' with parents Ozzy and Sharon, 72, Aimee chose not to participate in the show during its four-season run from 2002 to 2005. Advertisement Instead, she became an 'obscure, mysterious, moody' musician, according to her brother. 'She deemed doing a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit, and she was like, 'I'm not going to be seen riding coattails.' That's how she perceived it,' the Black Sabbath icon's son explained. 11 Jack and Aimee Osbourne during Los Angeles Fashion Week in 2004.

'So, she just dug her heels in and wanted to be relatively private and obscure.' However, Jack admitted that he 'never' asked his oldest sister if she regretted not starring in 'The Osbournes' – although he speculated she did. 'There must be a level of like, 'My life probably would have been different than what it is if I'd have done that.' I don't know. I mean, I would feel like I would have regretted it,' Jack explained during the podcast. 11 The Osbourne family at the 1997 Kerrang Awards in London, England.

'There is just not that level or kind of excitement around TV anymore like there was back then. When you had a hit TV show in the early 2000s, it was a game-changer.' Ozzy and Sharon's oldest daughter opened up about her decision not to appear in 'The Osbournes' during an interview with the NYC classic rock radio station Q104.3 back in 2020. At the time, Aimee said that she had no regrets about turning down the series. 11 Ozzy Osbourne holds a replica of his new star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as he poses with his family during a ceremony on April 12, 2002, in Los Angeles. AP 'For me, I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and I always really valued my privacy within that family,' she explained. 'And for me personally, and for who I am, you know, as far as morally and also just to give myself a chance to actually develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager, it didn't really line up with what I saw my future as.' 'It definitely worked great for the rest of my family,' she added. 'But for me and who I am, I just knew it was never something that I would have been able to consider realistically.' Aimee later broke cover with her siblings following the shocking death of their beloved dad, who passed away on July 22 following a lengthy battle with Parkinson's disease and other health issues.
