KELLY Osbourne has paid tribute to her dad Ozzy Osbourne by sharing a heartfelt video.
Rock icon Ozzy, 76, died "surrounded by love" at his multi-million-pound mansion in Welders, Buckinghamshire, on Tuesday.

Since then, Kelly has been remembering her dad with a series of heartfelt posts.
In one video, the singer could be seen sitting around the kitchen table with family during Ozzy's final days.
In another, she shared the lyrics to Changes - the Black Sabbath track that she and Ozzy famously re-recorded together in 2003.
On Saturday, Kelly uploaded a third moving clip from the 2018 series Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, showing a sweet moment between father and daughter as they sang and danced together in a truck.
The video showed Kelly in the driver's seat of a huge HGV, which the pair were using on a road trip.
As Ozzy climbed in, Kelly told him: 'I've got this song in my head, I'm gonna have to play it for you.'
She then pressed play on George Ezra's Paradise.
Ozzy looked slightly confused as he heard the song for the first time, but as the chorus kicked in, a smile spread across his face.
The pair began dancing in their seats, moving their arms, shaking their shoulders and enjoying the moment.
As Kelly started driving, she said, 'I love you,' and without missing a beat, Ozzy replied, 'I love you more.'

Ozzy was seen having breakfast with his family in one of Kelly's touching videos.
She originally shared the video with fans on her Instagram story on July 20, two days before the musician died.
It showed Ozzy using a tablet whilst sat at a table with his youngest daughter and her two-year-old son Sidney.
Kelly said: "Good morning", before panning the camera to her father, who is wearing a pair of headphones, as she says, "Dadda, say good morning".
Ozzy leant forward and replied: "Good morning."
Kelly then turned the camera onto selfie mode and said: "Say good morning Lou!"
Louis Osbourne, Ozzy's lesser-known son from his first marriage, then came into shot waving and grinning.
Before tying the knot to Sharon, Ozzy had married his first wife Thelma Riley in 1971 after meeting her in a Birmingham nightclub.
Together, they welcomed children Jessica and Louis, who have been largely away from the limelight.
Louis also attended Ozzy's final Black Sabbath gig just weeks ago, and called the show "mindblowing".
Ozzy passed away surrounded by his family on Tuesday morning, after bravely battling against Parkinson's disease.
Thames Valley Air Ambulance said that a crew had been dispatched to provide "advanced critical care".
The helicopter landed in the grounds of Ozzy's mansion and it is reported the specialist paramedics were at the scene for two hours.
Tragically, they were unable to save the rock legend's life.
Ozzy became known as the "Prince of Darkness" in his six-decade career thanks to his on-stage antics that attracted a legion of heavy rock fans.
Only three weeks ago, Ozzy gave us one last ­hurrah when heavy metal royalty descended on Villa Park to pay their respects.
The Back to the Beginning gig ended with him - seated on a giant black throne because he could not stand - joining his Black Sabbath muckers on the songs that took him to the world stage.

Without hesitation as the whistle blows... The wit, wisdom and epitaph of a comic genius: CRAIG BROWN

When is a comedy not a comedy? Perhaps when it involves Radio 4's quiz show Just A Minute and the incomparable Kenneth Williams. As I explained on Tuesday, I am addicted to the website which offers complete transcripts of every episode of the show, dating back to the 1960s. On one episode, broadcast on January 20, 1976, Williams had to speak on the subject of 'When It Is My Go'. He used the topic to round on his fellow panellists. 'When it is my go,' he began, 'I should be allowed to get under way properly and not be interfered with by pygmy-like minutiae and rubbish from other people... 'Get out, you old gasbag!' and rudeness! Whereas I, used to the cloistered world, or groves of academe, as they are sometimes called, should proceed evenly and calmly through life on some vast panopoly. Silken gowns and beauty, noise. No ugly chants. No discord shall interrupt!' At this point, he accused his fellow panellists of failing to interrupt for sly reasons of their own. 'Oh, I realise I'm being set up rotten!' he continued. 'They've all just decided . . .' But then the whistle went: he had completed the minute, without hesitation, deviation or repetition. However, instead of being triumphant, he was wary, complaining. 'They just sat there with no intention of pressing their buttons… I could see what they were doing: give him enough rope and he'll hang himself!' Throughout his life as a comic, Kenneth Williams worried that audiences were laughing at him rather than with him. His diaries form a record of extravagant exhibitionism juxtaposed with intense self-loathing. They often seem to echo the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, who wrote in his 1836 journal: 'I have just returned from a party of which I was the life and soul; wit poured from my lips, everyone laughed and admired me, but I went away – and wanted to shoot myself.' On another episode, Williams expatiated on the subject of 'Wellies'. 'The other use to which they could be put is shoved under a drainpipe and thus you collect water which in these times of emergency . . .' he began. A buzzer went. The actor Alfred Marks was challenging him. 'I don't know of many drainpipes that would take a full-sized welly,' said Marks. Williams erupted with what appeared to be genuine fury. 'I don't care what drainpipes you're familiar with, mate! You don't know anything about drainpipes! You've never been round my place! What a nerve! Sitting there pontificating about drainpipes! You know nothing about them! What do you know about plumbing! You couldn't even change a washer! 'Look at him! He's gone white! He sits there – what a nerve! You've interrupted one of our great pundits! I know more about plumbing than you've had hot dinners!' At this point, panellist Peter Jones interjected: 'You've touched on a very sensitive area there, Alfred!' 'How dare you!' retorted Williams. Another time, he was asked to speak on 'My Other Self'. 'It is the side of me few people ever see,' he said. 'I closely guard this private person because all of us do cherish some secret feeling which we feel, if it were to be betrayed… 'It was Emerson, I believe, who said we have as many personalities as we have friends. Mine consequently are varied and extraordinary. Many times, people say, 'Well, we saw a side of you we didn't know existed! How won-derful it was to have the curtain or the veil, as it were, lifted on your pro-cliv-ities!'' There were roars of laughter but, once again, the private man had unwittingly revealed his vulnerability. Williams did have many personalities: in his private diary he would often employ five or six entirely different styles of handwriting. And most of his personalities were tormented. In February 1976, asked to speak on 'My Epitaph', he quoted – or slightly misquoted – these lines from Gray's Elegy: Here rests his head upon the lap of Earth A youth to fortune and to fame well known And talent smiled upon his humble birth, But melancholy claimed him for her own.

Geri Horner celebrates with the Lionesses at Oasis' Wembley concert after the team won the women's Euros final

Geri Horner celebrated with the Lionesses as they attended Oasis' concert at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday after the team won the women's Euros final. The former Spice Girl, 52, joined Alex Greenwood, Hannah Hampton and Alessia Russo in the crowd the band's hotly-anticipated reunion. The team roared to victory in Sunday's match following a nail-biting game, which finished with an incredible 3-1 penalty shoot out win. Congratulating them on their win, Geri joined the girls for a photo before they took their seats for the gig. She captioned her Instagram post: 'They're home!' After a run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park, Oasis returned to London last week, where they will play five shows. Elsewhere, Geri has faced yet another blow when it was revealed her book company has racked up a huge £1million debt. It comes following the news her husband Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull one year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee. According to a new publication Geri could now be facing her own troubles as her company Falcon Queen Productions has sunk further into the red. The Mirror reports, Geri had a deficit of £750,000 in the year ending August 2024, compared to a £276,000 the previous year. The singer released her children's books, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen and Rose Frost: Ice On Fire via the firm. However, her 'main company, Wonderful Productions, earned £2.16m in the 12 months to August last year.' Wonderful Productions was set up by Geri in 1997 at the height of the Spice Girls' fame and channels earnings from her career in music and other commercial deals. MailOnline has contacted Geri's representative for comment. Christian was released from his operational duties as the boss of Red Bull earlier this month. It ends the longest reign of Formula One team principals in the sport and comes a year after the scandal that engulfed him over texts he apparently sent to a female employee. Red Bull issued a statement confirming the news, reading: 'Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today, Wednesday 9 July 2025, and has appointed Laurent Mekies as CEO of Red Bull Racing.' Horner's former Spice Girl wife Geri stood by her husband after the explosive accusations rocked the Formula One paddock last year. Horner has vehemently denied the claims. Screenshots of alleged WhatsApp messages between Horner and a Red Bull employee were leaked anonymously the day after a three-week investigation, carried out externally, cleared the 51-year-old of all allegations. Horner survived accusations of coercive behaviour towards his colleague – and was twice cleared in internal investigations of wrongdoing.

Love Island viewers are left shocked at the biggest divide in show's history as tensions reach breaking point just days before finale

Love Island viewers left shocked during Wednesday's episode as the girls proved the divide was still well and truly in place. Called the biggest divide in the show's history, the entire series has centred around the ongoing feud between the two groups of girls: Shakira, Toni and Yas versus Meg and Helena. The Islanders continued to take part in the tense Couple Goals challenge - but when the Islanders were asked 'Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?' shockwaves were sent through the Villa. Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon, which did not go down well. 'I think if people were honest in the first place and told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story,' Meg raged. Shakira responded: 'You throwing around the fake word is rich to be honest. I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. 'From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake,' Meg bit back, to which Shakira said: 'No, I will never pretend to be your mate.' Meg interrupted 'You won't be my friend on the outside' before Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' But that wasn't all because when it comes to Meg and Dejon's turn to answer, both Meg and Blu become embroiled in a back and forth with Toni before Blu brands Toni a 'pick-me girl'. The chaos came just two episodes after Toni brought the girls around the firepit to try and bridge the divide and call a truce. But recent scenes have shown the divide is as strong as ever. Viewers said: 'The divide is actually insane… i'm sat here raging at my TV screen,'; 'I've watched love island since Series 1 and this series is hands down the most uncomfortable to watch. This girl divide is f****n awful. The smart ass comments thrown about, the sly digs, the ganging up on 1 girl…it's actually draining,'; 'The Great Villa Divide of 2025 is alive and well,'; 'I've never seen THIS strong of a divide in the villa before,'; 'so funny they had a whole convo about no more divide and now it's like even worse AHAHAHAH,'; 'So much for Tonie and Meg wanting to squash the divide between the girls .. It's gone further apart since their girls intervention the other night'. While others noted that they had never seen such a 'toxic' series, especially with the finale just days away. They wrote: 'I've never seen such a hostile final week omg these lot are about to start a world war… 'It's the final week and there's STILL drama??? this literally never happens,' 'The most toxic love island season ever,'; 'The most toxic love island season ever - they really hate each other and it will be awkward for them on the outside,'; Viewers said: 'The divide is actually insane… i'm sat here raging at my TV screen' 'This season is so toxic. The producers seem to be pushing harmful narratives but we will have confirmation when the winners are announced. That was an uncomfortable watch. Disgusting,'; 'Why are the cast so toxic with each other wtf never seen anything like this imagine the reunion,'; 'THIS IS THE MOST TOXIC SEASON OF LOVE ISLAND EVER.' The chaos of Wednesday's episode came just days after Toni pulled Meg to clear the air as she blamed the boys in the villa for the apparent divide between the girls. The US-native, 24, pulled her fellow islander, 25, to the fire as she confess that the believed the root of all their problems were the boys. As they sit down in the iconic villa, Toni tells her: 'What I think is the root of the divide, is really the boys.' To which Meg says: 'It's so stupid for us to argue over these little things.' While others noted that they had never seen such a 'toxic' series, especially with the finale just days away Toni adds: 'I know that we're all friends at the end of the day', that prompts Meg to say: 'I'm not going to hold any grudges against what you guys said. You know I love you.' The pair then decided to gather all of the girls over, too. Toni said: 'At the end of the day, we know we're all friends here. They're [the boys] the problem!' The girls all enjoy a group hug as they attempt to put all their previous issues a side.
