Kelly Osbourne Opens Up About 'Hardest Moment' Following Ozzy's Passing
OZZY OSBOURNE'S FAMILY MOURNS HIS PASSING: KELLY OSBOURNE SHEDS TEARS AS SHE THANKS FANS FOR THEIR SUPPORT
In a heartfelt message, Kelly Osbourne opened up about her pain and gratitude as she navigated the "hardest moment of her life" following the passing of her beloved father Ozzy. The 40-year-old shared an emotional post on Instagram, thanking fans for their love and support after the rocker's untimely death at the age of 76.
Kelly wrote: "I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you." The post was flooded with condolences from fans and loved ones, including her fiancé Sid Wilson, who shared a heartfelt message of his own.
As Kelly struggles to cope with the loss of her father, she took a poignant step back in time, reminiscing about their bond. "My dad is amazing! He's so excited for his final show on Saturday," she had said just two weeks before Ozzy's passing. Little did she know that would be their last conversation.
Kelly's heartbreak was palpable as she spoke about how well her father was doing in a recent interview, mere days before his tragic death. She revealed that he was "sailing through everything" and that the rehearsals for his final show with Black Sabbath had been "incredible." The thought of Ozzy's passing is still too much to bear, especially now that Kelly has her wedding plans underway – but it's clear she wants nothing to do with planning the big day.
"I want nothing to do with it," she confessed to friends. "If it was up to me, we'd get married at the registry office and then take over a pub." But of course, it's not up to her; her mother Sharon will be handling all the details, leaving Kelly free to focus on grieving.
The Osbourne family has been through their fair share of ups and downs, but one thing that remains constant is their unbreakable bond. Ozzy had always made it clear that Kelly was his "favourite child," and in a heartwarming interview with Rolling Stone, he gushed about how they were "like two peas in a pod." When asked if Jack and Aimee knew about this special bond, Ozzy proudly replied: "Oh, they know it!"
Now, as the family says their final goodbyes to the rock legend, Kelly has been keeping her father's memory alive with a series of heartfelt tributes. She wore Ozzy's iconic purple glasses during the funeral procession in Birmingham – a touching gesture that left fans and onlookers in awe.
As the news of Ozzy's passing sent shockwaves around the world, his family came together to lay floral tributes at the site where he took his final bow. Kelly, her siblings Jack and Aimee, and their mother Sharon joined hands with friends and loved ones to celebrate the life of a rock legend who left an indelible mark on music history.
OZZY'S FINAL DAYS: FROM BAT BOXES TO A REHABILITATION WING
In a fascinating look at Ozzy's final days, The Scholarly Note can reveal that he had been planning his return to the UK for some time. After years of living in Los Angeles, Ozzy announced in 2022 that he would be moving back to Welders House – a 250-acre estate in England where he and Sharon had often escaped to recharge.
The mansion, which has now become Ozzy's final resting place, was revamped to accommodate his needs, including the addition of bat boxes – a nod to his iconic love of all things bat. In a heartwarming gesture, Ozzy also made sure to include a rehabilitation wing for his Parkinson's disease diagnosis in 2020.
However, despite his plans to return home, Ozzy's health struggles and a crippling fall that exacerbated an old quad bike injury had delayed his return to the UK. His family has been supportive throughout, but now they must come to terms with their loss – a pain that Kelly is finding it hard to bear.
As fans continue to mourn the passing of a rock legend, one thing is clear: Ozzy's legacy will live on through his music and the countless lives he touched during his illustrious career. And for Kelly, her father's memory will remain a constant reminder of the love they shared – a bond that will never fade.
