Kelly Osbourne has spoken out following the death of her father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2025, at age 76. In a brief
but heartfelt Instagram Story shared three days later, Kelly called Ozzy her “best friend,” adding a broken-heart emoji on a black background.
The Osbourne family—Kelly, Sharon, Jack, Aimee, and Louis—had earlier released a powerful photo of Ozzy seated on a
throne at his farewell concert in Birmingham, confirming he died “surrounded by love.” They asked for privacy as they mourned.
Tributes poured in from around the world. Music stars like Gavin Rossdale praised Ozzy’s warmth and kindness, while DJ Jack Saunders honored
his massive influence on metal music live on-air. Sharon personally responded to many condolences, thanking fans for their love and support.
Ozzy’s final words to the crowd during his last performance—“Thank you from the bottom of my heart… Birmingham Forever”—have taken on new meaning.
As fans revisit the emotional footage, Kelly’s tribute reminds us that behind the Prince of Darkness was a devoted father, deeply loved and now dearly missed.
