Kelly Osbourne shares her heartbreak after dad Ozzy’s death: ‘I lost the best friend I ever had’

Kelly Osbourne, who rose to fame on her family’s eponymous MTV reality show, has spoken out about her father Ozzy Osbourne’s death.

The reality TV personality took to her Instagram Stories Thursday with a poignant, heartbreaking message. “I feel unhappy I am so sad,” she wrote alongside a broken heart emoji.

She also shared lyrics from the Black Sabbath song “Changes,” which she and Ozzy released as a duet in 2003: “I lost the best friend I ever had.”

“Changes,” which Ozzy co-wrote with his Black Sabbath bandmates, was first released in 1972. More than three decades later, he and Kelly recorded a new version as a duet with revised lyrics.

The iconic rocker died at the age of 76 on Tuesday, his family confirmed in a statement obtained by Page Six.

“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,” read the statement.

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

Kelly, 40, became engaged to Sid Wilson at her father’s Black Sabbath farewell concert on July 5 — and she later took to Instagram to gush over Ozzy’s final performance.

“My dad got his moment in the sun! He was able to say thank you and good bye in the most beautiful way!” she wrote in part at the time, alongside a carousel of photos and clips from the show.

The mom of one was subsequently forced to respond to speculation that her father — who battled Parkinson’s disease and the effects of a spinal injury in recent years — was dying after fake AI videos mimicking the musician claimed that was the case.

“There’s this video going around on social media, and it’s supposed to be my dad, but it’s AI,” the reality star said via Instagram Stories on July 11, according to E! News.

“It has a voice like my dad’s David Attenborough or something. And it starts out saying, ‘I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die.’”

“What the f–k is wrong with you people?,” the TV personality said. “Why would you spend your time making a video like this?”

Kelly continued, explaining, “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?”

The “Fashion Police” alum also addressed an alleged suicide pact between her parents. “Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact,” she exclaimed. “That was bulls–t my mom said to get attention one time. And my dad’s not dying. Stop.”

Sharon, 72, previously detailed the pact on “The Osbournes Podcast” in October 2023, saying that she and her husband planned to head to Switzerland to utilize the services of Dignitas via physician-assisted suicide.

“I don’t want it to actually hurt,” Sharon explained at the time. “Mental suffering is enough pain without physical. So if you’ve got mental and physical, see ya.”

Kelly is the late Black Sabbath rocker’s second child with wife Sharon, and the youngest of his three daughters.

She appeared alongside her famous parents and brother Jack, 39, on the genre-defining “The Osbournes” from 2002 to 2005, though sister Aimee, 41, did not appear in the show.

Kelly is also a sibling to Ozzy’s three children from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley — Jessica and Louis Osbourne, and Riley’s son Elliot Kingsley, whom Ozzy adopted.
