Kelly Osbourne Mourns Dad Ozzy Osbourne's Death, Calls Him Her 'Best Friend'
Kelly Osbourne has lost her 'best friend" following the death of her dad Ozzy Osbourne. The 40-year-old star has taken to social media to share her thoughts following Ozzy's passing on Tuesday (22.07.25), aged 76.
Kelly – who released a cover of the Black Sabbath song Changes with her dad back in 2003 – wrote on Instagram: 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had. (sic)"
Ozzy performed his last-ever concert at Villa Park in Birmingham earlier this month, and Kelly actually got engaged backstage to Sid Wilson, from the band Slipknot, at the star-studded event.
The Back to the Beginning concert also featured appearances from the likes of Metallica, Yungblud and Guns N' Roses.
Ozzy's death was announced by his family earlier this week.
They said in a statement: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love."
The news prompted an outpouring of tributes from some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi.
He told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'He loved what he did, he loved music, he loved playing together, and I'm so glad we had the opportunity of getting together again to do the [farewell] show.
'It was brilliant being with all the guys again, and the atmosphere, and it was brilliant for Ozzy because he really wanted to do that, he felt at home there and it was good for all of us."
Kiss frontman Gene Simmons also paid a glowing tribute to the late star, describing Ozzy as a 'unique, loveable person".
Gene, 75, told the BBC: 'I know that, right now, millions of fans around the world are crying and shocked, and my heart goes out to Sharon and the family and the fans.
'There were no airs about him – he's met kings queens, political leaders, I think it's fair to say there was never an Ozzy Osbourne before Ozzy, and there will be another Ozzy. He was a unique, loveable person."
