Kelly Osbourne has opened up about the profound grief she and her family are experiencing, four months after the death of her father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. In a deeply personal conversation on the family's podcast, the 41-year-old television personality shared heartbreaking details of how she coped in the immediate aftermath.
A Family's Heartbreak
The Osbourne family—Kelly, her mother Sharon, and brother Jack—came together to discuss their loss publicly for the first time. Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath, passed away at the age of 76. His death came just weeks after he performed with the band for their farewell concert at Villa Park.
During the podcast, Kelly confessed that the mornings have become the most difficult time for her. She became emotional as she recalled a cherished daily ritual with her father that she now deeply misses. "There is one resentment I have," Kelly admitted, "and that is I always heard dad going down the stairs in the morning."
Intimate Glimpses into Grief
Kelly described how her first words to him every morning were, 'Morning dad, I love you!' to which Ozzy would always reply, 'I love you more.' She heartbreakingly revealed that on the morning he passed away, she did not say it. Sharon immediately comforted her daughter, assuring her, "He knew. He knew everything that was going on. Everything!"
The family's grief extends to the nighttime as well. Sharon Osbourne, who was married to Ozzy for over 50 years, shared her own struggle, saying she now "hates going to bed at night" and "hates going into an empty room." In a touching display of solidarity, Kelly revealed that she slept with her mother for the first two months after Ozzy's death so she wouldn't be alone.
Individual Paths Through Loss
Each family member is navigating their sorrow in different ways. Jack Osbourne, who is currently taking part in I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here in Australia, explained that he has found some solace in alone time. He mentioned spending a few days alone in Idaho, which he found helpful for processing his emotions.
Jack also reflected on the legacy his father left behind, stating, "It's dad... he left us a huge world, you know, and we have to pick up the flag." This poignant admission highlights the immense personal and professional void left by the rock icon's passing, a loss still keenly felt by his loved ones months later.
