Kelly Osbourne Mourns Death of Dad Ozzy Osbourne
is grieving the loss of her father .
Following the Black Sabbath frontman's death on July 22 at age 76, his daughter shared a touching tribute on her Instagram Story July 24 with lyrics to his 1972 song "Changes."
"I feel unhappy,' the 40-year-old wrote. 'I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had."
Just days before Ozzy's passing, Kelly—who costarred on the MTV reality series The Osbournes with her dad as well as mom Sharon Osbourne, 72, and brother Jack Osbourne, 39, from 2002 to 2005—addressed online speculation that the heavy metal icon's health was deteriorating.
'There's this video going around on social media and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI,' she said in a clip posted on her Instagram Stories July 11. 'It has a voice like my dad's David Attenborough or something, and it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die. I know I'm going to die.''
Kelly went on to condemn the creators of the viral video before plainly stating that her father was 'not dying.'

'Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be,' she admitted, 'but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?'
The 'Changes' singer also addressed reports that Ozzy and Sharon—who wed in 1982 and are also parents to Aimee Osbourne, 41—had agreed to a suicide pact, a rumor which stemmed from comments Sharon made to The Mirror in 2017.
'Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact,' she said. 'That was bulls--t my mom said to get attention one time. And my dad's not dying. Stop.'
During Ozzy's final Black Sabbath concert earlier this month, he and Kelly shared a special family moment as her partner Sid Wilson—with whom she shares 2-year-old son Sidney—got down on one knee and proposed backstage. But of course, the Grammy winner had to inject some of his signature humor into the heartfelt moment.
'F--k off,' he joked as Sid began to pop the question, 'you're not marrying my daughter.'
In his final years, Ozzy faced a number of health complications including a battle with Parkinson's disease, which he shared publicly in 2020. Two years later, he underwent what Sharon described as a "major operation" that was "really going to determine the rest of his life."
Following his death, his family said that they were filled with "more sadness than mere words can convey."
"He was with his family and surrounded by love," they said in a statement to E! News. "We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."

Kelly Clarkson says her ex-husband has been ill as she postpones Las Vegas concerts
Kelly Clarkson shared that she is postponing the remainder of her 'Studio Session' concerts in Las Vegas for August as her family faces a difficult chapter. In an Instagram post shared Wednesday, Aug. 6, the singer said that she was postponing the August shows so that she could support her children as their father and Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock has been unwell. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' she wrote on Instagram. Clarkson and Blackstock divorced in March 2022, two years after announcing their separation. The couple shares two children: daughter River Rose, who was born in 2014, and son Remington Alexander, born in 2016. Clarkson lives with her children in New York City, where she also hosts her daytime talk show, 'The Kelly Clarkson Show.' The singer seemingly addressed her ex-husband through her music a number of times, both on her 2023 songs 'Mine' and 'Me' and her talk show when she revised the lyrics to Olivia Rodrigo's song 'abcdefu' during one of the host's 2023 performances. 'Forget you and your dad / And the fact you got half and my broken heart / Turned that (expletive) into art,' she sang at the time, which seemed to be a reference to her divorce settlement in which she had to issue a one-time payment of over $1 million to her ex-husband, along with monthly spousal support (until Jan. 31, 2024) and child support payments that amounted to over $160K. In an interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe in June 2023, the Grammy winner said the split, in the end, was 'freeing.' 'It's incredibly sad, and it's a dark place — fetal position on the floor crying — and there's so much loss with that, and I never experienced grief like that,' she said. 'We got to let each other go. This is not working. This is not going to pan out, and it's not working for either of us.' Clarkson made headlines earlier this year for her absences from her talk show. From late February through March, she stepped away occasionally. During that time, guest hosts including Simu Liu, Roy Wood Jr. and even TODAY's Willie Geist filled in.
