Kelly Osbourne Is Thanking Fans For Their Support
Kelly Osbourne has expressed heartfelt thanks to fans for their “support” during what she called the “hardest moment” of her life, following the passing of her father, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.
“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,” Kelly wrote, along with Ozzy’s song “See You On the Other Side.”
Kelly appeared extremely close with her father, once saying he was her “favorite” person to work alongside.
“The love, support, and beautiful messages I’ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.”
Osbourne Family Remembers Ozzy
Ozzy Osbourne died at the age of 76 on July 22. His family announced his passing in a public statement at the time.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” the statement read.
The news of Ozzy’s death came just weeks after his farewell show on July 5. During the performance, he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward.
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, the rock star’s health had been a growing concern in recent years.
Around the same time, Sharon Osbourne gave an update: “Ozzy’s working with his therapist every single day. He’s doing really well, actually. Ozzy’s number one thing in life is his fans, so he’s working hard to be ready for them, to make this show the perfect way to end things,” she said.
Ozzy and Sharon were married for 43 years, and Kelly is the middle of their three children.
Osbourne Family Pays Special Tribute At Ozzy’s Funeral
On July 30, Ozzy’s fans gathered to watch his public funeral procession. The procession traveled through his hometown of Birmingham, England, and thousands lined the streets to pay their respects. The procession was livestreamed online so fans could watch it from anywhere in the world.
Sharon cried throughout the ceremony while she and Kelly, along with her siblings, laid flowers at the memorial and viewed the tributes.
The family all wore special items of Ozzy’s to pay special respects to the rock legend. Sharon appeared to wear one of his rings on a chain around her neck, while Kelly wore sunglasses similar to Ozzy’s signature look. Jack Osbourne rocked a silver cross pin at the end of his tie and the oldest daughter, Aimee, wore a bat-shaped brooch on her blazer.
The New York Post states his final resting place is beside a lake on his Buckinghamshire property.
