Kelly Osbourne pays tribute to 'best friend' Ozzy - in first comments since his death
The figurehead of heavy metal died aged 76, just a few weeks after performing a huge farewell show with his Black Sabbath bandmates in Birmingham, where the band was formed in 1968.
After the show, Kelly got engaged to her longtime partner and musician Sid Wilson, of the band Slipknot, after he got down on one knee backstage.
After the frontman passed away on Tuesday, the Osbourne family released a joint statement that read: "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."

In her first comments since losing her father, Kelly wrote on Instagram: "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had," followed by a broken heart emoji.
She was quoting lyrics from the 1972 Black Sabbath song Changes.
The father and daughter were famously close, appearing on The Osbournes reality TV show together and covering the song Changes as a duet in 2003.
"That song stands for so much in our family and to me and Dad," Kelly said on the TV show Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, starring her brother, Jack.
"It was not only both of our first number one [single] in the UK, it represented a time in my life and a time in Dad's life, it represented our relationship and how much we loved each other."
Black Sabbath are widely credited with having invented heavy metal, but the piano ballad Changes widely deviated from their usual guitar and drum-heavy style.

The band Coldplay also used the song to pay tribute to Ozzy this week, playing a stripped back, short version of Changes in a show in Nashville, Tennessee.
After the song, frontman Chris Martin said: "Ozzy, we love you, wherever you're going."

Lauren Sanchez dances awkwardly in front of a VERY stiff Jeff Bezos inside Ibiza nightclub
Jeff Bezos is one of the most successful tech moguls in the world. But the Amazon CEO proved that his prowess in the boardroom doesn't quite extend to the dancefloor while partying with wife Lauren Sanchez in Ibiza this week. The newly-married couple were spotted getting down inside a nightclub on Tuesday, with Sanchez, 55, dancing up a storm while Bezos, 61, awkwardly swayed back and forth. Showcasing her smoothest moves, Sanchez vigorously moved her arms up and down like she was jogging on the spot and rotated her head from left to right. The former journalist certainly looked ready to party in a tight white frock that clung to her curves as she got her groove on. She seemed to be enjoying herself more than her husband, who lethargically shuffled and swayed to the pounding EDM beats. Just one day prior, Sanchez and Bezos, who married in a lavish wedding in June, were seen disembarking from their $485 million superyacht in Spain. They enjoyed an A-list double date on Sunday as they welcomed Leonardo DiCaprio and his model girlfriend Vittoria aboard their superyacht, Koru. Hollywood actor Leo, 50, and his girlfriend, 27, know their way around the ship, having previously joined the couple and bevy of stars for a trip last summer in Sardinia Last month, after celebrating her nuptials with a number of A-list Hollywood stars, Sanchez headed to Paris Fashion Week, where she attended the Balenciaga Haute Couture show. Sanchez was recently partying in Paris with DiCaprio and Brooks Nader after honeymooning on Bezos' luxury superyacht. This comes after the famous couple said 'I do' in the romantic city of Venice back in June. Their $50 million wedding had a star-studded guest list with many A-listers such as Oprah Winfrey, Orlando Bloom, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and DiCaprio in attendance. One of their celebrity guests recently revealed what their lavish nuptials were really like as they disclosed that none of the Bezos couple's 200 guests were told to sign non-disclosure agreements. Sara Foster, the daughter of producer David Foster, shared details about the glamorous Venetian wedding on The World's First Podcast. While talking to her sister Erin, she surprisingly revealed: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.' She also said that the ceremony was 'very intimate' when asked to dish on the 'wedding of the century.' 'There's nothing. It's so interesting how the optics were this over-the-top, you know, protestors ... It's just not, it's not what it was. It actually felt very intimate.' She also stated that there were 'definitely a lot of people that were not photographed' but chose to keep mum on the identities of the low-key attendees. 'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting setup.' Since tying the knot, Sanchez has deleted all the photos from her Instagram page except for her wedding photos.

Amanda Holden's teenage lookalike daughter poses topless in racy photoshoot
Amanda Holden's 19-year-old has shared her most recent modelling photo on Instagram. Amanda Holden's teenage daughter has shared a raunchy new photoshoot where she is seen posing topless in one of the snaps. Nineteen-year-old Lexi Hughes, who Amanda shares with husband Chris Hughes, looked stunning as she struck a number of fierce poses during the revealing shoot. Uploading three of the snaps to Instagram, model Lexi was seen sporting a wet hair look while wearing a full face of makeup. In one racy image, she is seen looking over her shoulder with her arms covering her naked chest. Another fully clothed wet-look style snap saw her crouched down in a pair of blue jeans, a white vest top and white pointed heels. The teen shared the snaps with her 39.5k followers as she simply captioned them: "Wet look," with an emoji of eyes looking. Her famous mother, Amanda Holden, was among those showing their support on the post as she proudly hit the like button on her daughter's shoot. Lexi, who is no stranger to a bikini snap on her Instagram page, limited the comments on the post. Earlier in the week she shared another photo shoot, captioning it: "Just a little shoot," with Ashley Roberts among those approving of the upload. On Wednesday, she also shared a snap of her soaking up the sun in a designer bikini as she posed on a sundeck chair poised on a boat in the middle of the ocean. It's not the first time Lexi has showcased her modelling talents online with the teen regularly posting to her Instagram grid. In a recent snap with her unknown boyfriend, she also packed on the PDA as she shared a snap of them kissing in their swimwear as he can be seen leaning over her. Her famous mum Amanda confessed she was nervous about her eldest daughter living her life in the limelight. While the BGT judge insisted she is delighted that Lexy has decided to follow in her footsteps into the industry, she has also shared some of concerns. Amanda, 53, shares her daughters Lexi and Hollie, 12, with husband Chris. The Heart Breakfast radio presenter often shares glimpses of her family life on social media, and her lookalike daughters have grown up in front of the public eye and last year Lexi landed her first role in the industry. Lexi opened the show at London Fashion Week last year in her very first catwalk which Amanda admitted she had been "super nervous" for. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
