Kelly Osbourne's Bold Tribute to Ozzy: A Floral Farewell

SHOCKING CELEBRITY NEWS EXCLUSIVE

Kelly Osbourne Breaks Silence After Father Ozzy's Emotional Funeral: "My Dad Was Amazing"!

The music world is still reeling from the tragic loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who left us at the tender age of 76. But amidst the tears and tributes, Kelly Osbourne has finally spoken out about her beloved dad's passing.

In a heart-wrenching Instagram post, Kelly shared a bold floral tribute that read "OZZY F*ING OSBOURNE" on the banks of the Osbourne lake. The stunning display was a testament to Ozzy's larger-than-life personality and his unwavering influence on those who knew him.

The 40-year-old TV personality's emotional tribute came just two days after she got engaged to Sid Wilson at her dad's final performance with Black Sabbath in Villa Park, Birmingham. Kelly had been beaming with excitement about the upcoming nuptials, but now she's left to navigate the dark reality of losing her rockstar father.

In a poignant last interview just two weeks before Ozzy's passing, Kelly gushed about her dad's incredible health and enthusiasm for life. "My dad is amazing! He's so excited for his final show on Saturday. There's all the nerves and all the excitement," she exclaimed.

Kelly also shared that her fiancé Sid had planned a romantic destination wedding to ensure an intimate affair, but now it seems like an impossible dream come true. "We were thinking about having a destination wedding because that way only the people who really like you will come. So, that's where we are right now," she revealed.

However, Kelly confessed that her mum Sharon would be taking over all the wedding planning duties. "I want nothing to do with it, because if it was up to me, we'd get married at the registry office and then take over a pub. But it's not up to me, so I'm letting my mum plan it," she said.

The poignant tribute came as thousands of fans gathered for Ozzy's funeral procession in Birmingham city centre on Wednesday. The emotional parade saw friends, family, and fellow rockstars like Marilyn Manson pay their respects to the legend.

Marilyn Manson took to Instagram to express his eternal gratitude towards Ozzy, writing: "Today we laid to rest a beloved friend. I am eternally grateful that you let me into your life Ozzy. Your inspiration and love will always be with me."

Meanwhile, Yungblud shared a heart-wrenching photo of the cross necklace Ozzy gifted him in 2022, during the filming of his The Funeral music video. "Goodnight oz. Your light will forever shine. I love you," he captioned the post.

The events have been a bittersweet reminder of Ozzy's incredible life and legacy. Despite his wishes for a low-key funeral, thousands of fans turned out to bid farewell to their rock legend.

In a statement shared last Tuesday, Ozzy's family revealed that they had lost "the love of our lives" in "surrounded by love." As the world mourns the passing of this iconic musician, we're reminded of his profound influence on generations of music lovers.

Ozzy was born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948 and dropped out of school at the age of 15. After serving time in prison for burglary, he pursued his passion for music, forming Black Sabbath with Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, and Geezer Butler.

The band's groundbreaking sound revolutionized heavy metal, and Ozzy became one of the most iconic rock stars of all time. His larger-than-life personality and unapologetic attitude endeared him to millions worldwide.

As we reflect on the life and legacy of this incredible musician, we're reminded that Ozzy's music will live on through generations to come. Rest in peace, Ozzy – you may be gone, but your rock 'n' roll spirit lives forever!
