Kelly Osbourne is opening her heart during what she calls the hardest moment of her life—the loss of her legendary father, Ozzy Osbourne.
In a deeply emotional Instagram post on Monday, the 39-year-old TV personality and fashion icon revealed how she’s been coping since Ozzy’s death on July 22, calling the pain unlike anything she’s ever experienced.
“I’m Not OK Right Now…”
Kelly shared a tearful message with her 2.5M+ followers, struggling to put her heartbreak into words:
“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.”
She went on to thank the global outpouring of love she’s received since her father’s passing—messages that have helped hold her together in her darkest hours.
Grieving a Rock Legend
“Grief is a strange thing—it sneaks up on you in waves,” Kelly wrote.
“I will not be OK for a while.”
The post was raw and real, capturing the emotional rollercoaster that comes with losing a parent—especially one as larger-than-life as the Prince of Darkness himself.
Still, Kelly said the collective grief from Ozzy’s fans around the world has helped her and her family feel less alone.
“Knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference,” she added.
Remembering Ozzy Osbourne: Rock God, Father, Icon
Ozzy Osbourne—who rose to fame as the lead singer of Black Sabbath before launching a solo career and becoming a pop culture phenomenon on The Osbournes reality series—passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his wife Sharon and children Kelly and Jack.
He was 76.
From his groundbreaking music to his wild antics and unforgettable voice, Ozzy left behind an unmatched legacy in rock history. And to Kelly, he was so much more: a father, protector, and best friend.
️ Holding Onto His Legacy
Kelly ended her post with a message of gratitude for fans, friends, and family who’ve been checking in on her:
“I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind.”
She also made it clear—this grief journey is far from over, but she’s choosing to focus on the impact Ozzy left behind instead of the pain he left with.
