Kelly Osbourne Shares Heartbreaking Grief Admission Seven Months After Ozzy's Death
Kelly Osbourne has opened up about her ongoing grief following the death of her father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away in July 2025. The Birmingham Black Sabbath icon died at age 76 after years of battling serious health problems, including Parkinson's disease.
Emotional Struggles Revealed
Kelly has frequently spoken about her emotional struggles in the months since her father's passing, and has now revealed how much she is still struggling without her dad. She shared a deeply personal message about her feelings on Instagram Stories, writing: "Some grief doesn't end. It changes shape. It becomes the quiet weight you learn to carry, the ache woven into your days."
She continued with profound insight into the grieving process: "Making it through doesn't mean leaving it behind. It means finding the strength to live and love and keep going even with forever resting in your heart. When grief feels endless and disastrous, like it's unmaking you from the inside out, surviving isn't about conquering it. It's about enduring it."
Finding Strength in Heartbreak
Kelly concluded her emotional message with powerful words about resilience: "It's about standing in the wreckage of our own heart and whispering, 'I am still here,' even when every part of you feels shattered, and like you don't want to be here."
The heartfelt post was accompanied by a short video of Kelly and her toddler son sharing a warm embrace while wishing her followers a good morning, showing moments of connection amidst her grief.
Ozzy's Final Years and Legacy
Ozzy's sudden death was announced last July, just days after the star had delivered a farewell performance with Black Sabbath in Birmingham at Villa Park stadium. His passing came five years after he revealed he had been diagnosed with a form of Parkinson's disease.
In his later years, Ozzy battled a series of serious health issues:
- He came close to death in 2003 after suffering injuries in a quad bike accident
- The crash resulted in him requiring surgery
- Reports indicated he endured chronic back pain and mobility problems
- He lived with constant discomfort in his final years
Despite these challenges, Ozzy continued to perform and maintain his legendary status in the music world until his final days. His Birmingham roots remained central to his identity, with the city mourning the loss of one of its most famous musical sons.
Kelly's candid admission about her ongoing grief process provides a window into the personal impact of losing such an iconic figure, reminding us that public figures experience the same profound emotions as anyone else when facing the loss of a parent.
