OZZY OSBOURNE'S SHOCKING DEATH AND FAMILY FEUD: 'HE'S NOT DYING, YOU PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!'

In a bombshell announcement that has left fans and friends reeling, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76. But in a stunning twist, his daughter Kelly has come out swinging against claims that her dad had made a "suicide pact" with his wife Sharon just days before his death.

The Black Sabbath icon's passing was met with an outpouring of tributes from the music world and beyond, but Kelly took to Instagram to set the record straight about the rumors swirling around her father's final days. In a fiery post, she lambasted an AI-generated video that had surfaced online, purporting to show Ozzy discussing his mortality.

"What is wrong with you people?" Kelly raged. "Why would you spend your time making a video like this? He's not dying... Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be, but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?"

Kelly's scathing response was prompted by rumors that Ozzy and Sharon had made plans for euthanasia if they were ever diagnosed with a life-limiting illness. In 2017, Sharon herself had revealed the couple's plans to travel to Switzerland if either of them suffered from Alzheimer's or another condition that affected their minds.

But Kelly is adamant that her father is very much alive and kicking - and that the rumors of a suicide pact are nothing more than a publicity stunt gone wrong. "That was bulls**t," she wrote. "My mom said it to get attention one time. And my dad's not dying. Stop."

As news of Ozzy's passing spreads, fans around the world are mourning the loss of a music legend who leaves behind a legacy of iconic hits like "Iron Man" and "Paranoid". But Kelly's fiery response has also sparked a wider conversation about the couple's relationship and the rumors that have swirled around them for years.

Ozzy's death marks the end of an era in rock 'n' roll, but it also raises questions about his long and storied career - including the controversies that have dogged him every step of the way. From biting the head off a bat on stage to snorting ants and urinating on a war memorial, Ozzy has always been a wild card, and his death is just the latest chapter in a life that's been marked by both triumph and tragedy.

As fans around the world pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness, Kelly's fiery response has also sparked a wider conversation about the couple's relationship and the rumors that have swirled around them for years. But one thing is clear: Ozzy Osbourne may be gone, but his legacy will live on - and so will the drama that surrounded him until the very end.
