Kelly Osbourne's heartbreaking statement about father Ozzy's death
Taking to her Instagram Stories today — just two days after saying goodbye to her dad — the host, 40, wrote, 'I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had.'
Earlier this week, the Osbourne family announced in a statement that the rocker died 'surrounded by love.'
'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. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.'
Ozzy's death came just weeks after he performed at his final Black Sabbath show on July 5 in Birmingham, England.
While backstage at the emotional farewell concert, Kelly got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson. The pair share son Sidney, who was born in 2022.
One day later, the star shared the news on Instagram with a video from the proposal.
Wilson, 48, popped the question in front of Ozzy, Sharon, 72, and her brother Jack, 39.
'Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world,' the Slipknot DJ said, as Ozzy joked, 'F**k off, you're not marrying my daughter.'
Wilson continued, 'Nothing would make me happier than to spend the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?'
The TV personality looked shocked as she said yes and accepted the ring. The couple kissed and hugged as their family and the show's crew cheered.
Kelly captioned the sweet clip, 'Oh and this happened yesterday!'
Days later, she defended her dad against online rumours that the musician, who revealed he had Parkinson's disease in 2020, was dying.
'So, there's this video going around on social media, and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI,' Kelly told her fans. 'And it has a voice like my dad's David Attenborough or something.'
She continued, '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.''
'What the f**k is wrong with you people?' Kelly added. 'Why would you spend your time making a video like this?'
She went on to state that Ozzy was 'not dying.'
'Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be,' Ozzy and Sharon's daughter said, 'but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?'
Kelly also slammed the rumours that Ozzy and Sharon had a 'suicide pact,' which her mother spoke about over 15 years ago.
'That was bulls**t my mum said to get attention one time,' Kelly explained, noting, 'And my dad's not dying. Stop.'
The young Osbourne first rose to fame on her family's reality show in the early aughts.
Ozzy and Sharon, who tied the knot in 1982, documented their family's day-to-day life on the MTV series The Osbournes.
The show ran for four seasons, from 2002 to 2005, and featured the patriarch, matriarch, Kelly, and Jack. Ozzy and Sharon's eldest daughter, Aimee, 41, opted not to participate.
Over the years, Kelly has spoken about her tight-knit relationship with her dad. In May, she even shared how close Ozzy is with her two-year-old son.
'Oh my God, they're best friends,' Kelly gushed to People. 'So, favourite time of the day is night-time because [Sidney] leaves me and gets in bed with my mum and dad because I'm staying in their house right now while my house is getting ready.
'And he goes and gets in bed with them and they have cartoon time together and it is the sweetest thing ever. I have to literally rip him out.'
Kelly also opened up about her close bond with her brother.
Jack was previously diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but has continued to work in the industry.
'To be honest with you, I still don't know how I feel about it because it's so unique and individual to every single person,' Kelly said of her brother's diagnosis. 'Everybody that has MS presents differently and I think that's why it's so hard to diagnose and that's why so many people for so long go undiagnosed.'
'And seeing what my brother goes through and how brave he is and just what an incredible human he is despite having relapsing and remitting MS, you would never know if he didn't choose to tell you,' added the star.
In 2022, she called Jack 'my biggest confidant.'
She told Entertainment Tonight that he is her 'first phone call every single day.'
However, Kelly and Aimee don't share that same sibling energy.
'We're just really different. She doesn't understand me and I don't understand her,' Kelly confessed on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast in 2021.
Despite her strained relationship with Aimee, Kelly detailed in 2019 just how special the family's reality show was with just the four of them.
'The first season was such a magical time in my family's life because we had no idea what we were doing. We had no idea that the show would be so successful,' Kelly told PeopleTV's 'Reality Check' at the time. 'We didn't know how people would perceive us or anything.'
As she put it, 'I think that is the most raw and vulnerable you will see any family on TV. And then it all kind of was like an explosion of too much reality for us.'

Pregnant wife of former NBA star bitten by shark
A pregnant television presenter has revealed the horror moment when she was attacked by a shark close to shore at a resort in Puerto Rico. Eleonora Boi, shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed on Instagram, describing the experience as the 'worst day of my life.' 'I never thought I could get attacked by a shark and I was near the shore and on a super crowded beach,' she wrote in the caption of the photo according to a translation. She explained that she had to have surgery for the injury she sustained on her leg. 'I was rushed to the rescue and the surgery to fix my poor bruised leg went well,' she said. Boi is the wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari, and expressed her gratitude for his support during the incident. 'I thank my husband . . . he gave me all his love and courage,' she added. Boi and Gallinari, who are both from Italy originally, married in July 2022 and share two children. Credit: Instagram 'Now I just have to recover from the great scare and try to forgive the great friend who betrayed me. Shark will be hearing from my legals soon.' Local police confirmed that a woman suffered an open wound to her thigh at Carolina Resort, Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Dia reported. 'Based on the photographs provided to us, we believe the characteristics of the bite could be consistent with those of a shark, but to validate this, a series of analyses would be necessary,' Nilda Jiménez said. Boi and Gallinari, who are both from Italy originally, married in July 2022 and share two children. Boi is a sports journalist and presenter and is pregnant with their third child. Danilo Gallinari is an accomplished Italian basketball forward who began his professional career in Italy before being selected 6th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks.

Machine Gun Kelly turned down Sinners over racial slur
Machine Gun Kelly claims he turned down Sinners, because he didn't want to use a racial slur. The 35-year-old rapper says he was invited to audition for a vampire role in Ryan Coogler's latest movie but he declined when he learned that his character uses the 'n-word'. Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, he said: 'Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that. The vampire, they had me set up to do the audition - it's the one that's in the house, so he's the second vampire, the one that the guy comes and eats the family. In the audition, he has to say the 'n-word' and I wouldn't do it. 'I have a lot of aspirations to be in movies, it just hasn't panned out that way. I'm on universal timing. It'll align. The angels will put something in the works. 'There's been plenty of movies that come out that I was like, ah, I was supposed to be in that, or I did auditions for that.' It is likely that MGK's audition for 'the second vampire' was for the role of Bert, a KKK member who was turned by the vampire Remmick (Jack O'Connell). The part was played by Peter Dreimanis. Sinners – starring Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld and Miles Caton – is a horror movie set in the Mississippi Delta in 1932, where criminal twin brothers return to their hometown to start again but are faced by a supernatural evil.

Hulk Hogan didn't meet his grandchildren prior to his death
Hulk Hogan never met his grandchildren before his death. The wrestling legend passed away aged 71 last month after suffering a heart attack at his home in Florida and his son-in-law Steven Oleksy has revealed that Hulk showed "no interest" in meeting his estranged daughter Brooke's twins Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene when approached following their births in January. Former NHL player Oleksy told People: "I sent text messages once again to kind of gauge where he was at, but there was no interest." Oleksy explained how he and Brooke moved from Michigan to Florida to be closer to Hulk - whose real name was Terry Bollea - as he "was getting older" and suffering with his health. He said: "She was there for every surgery leading up to the last two years. She would fly down on her own dime, take care of her dad, and it just made a lot of sense. "No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife." Oleksy explained that the family will remain in Florida following the WWE icon's passing as the state has grown to feel like "home" for them. The ex-ice hockey star said: "We've built a beautiful life here together." Brooke, 37, posted a lengthy tribute to her father on Instagram earlier this week and used her post to "clear a few things up" regarding the pair's estrangement. The realty star wrote: "It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself." Brooke - Hulk's eldest child from his marriage to first wife Linda Hogan - added: "We had been through almost 25 surgeries together, and then all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries…everything started getting covered in a thick veil. It was like there was a force field around him that I couldn't get through. (sic)" She explained how the pair's relationship ultimately collapsed due to a series of "respectful disagreements". Brooke said: "He was telling me these things, being so vulnerable with me and heard my pleas, then suddenly something shifted, and he made a choice to walk the path that clearly tore at his spirit. I felt a disconnect. What followed were respectful disagreements that took an emotional toll on me."
