Kelly Osbourne is paying a heartfelt tribute to her father, Ozzy, the legendary prince of darkness. On Monday, she took to her Instagram Story, bravely opening up to the public for the first time regarding Ozzy's passing. The reality TV star kicked off her heart-wrenching post by expressing her profound gratitude to all who had extended their condolences.
"I've attempted to pen these words countless times, yet I'm still uncertain if they'll ever suffice... But from the depths of my soul, thank you," she wrote. "The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have been my beacon of strength during the darkest hour of my life. Each kind word, every cherished memory shared, and ounce of compassion have meant more than I can ever articulate."
Kelly then offered a poignant glimpse into her emotional turmoil. "Grief is a peculiar beast—it creeps up on you in unrelenting waves," she revealed. "I won't be alright for some time—but knowing that my family and I are not alone in our sorrow brings a semblance of solace. I'm clinging to the love, the light, and the timeless legacy my father has left behind."
Ozzy, a heavy metal icon and a key member of Black Sabbath, passed away on July 22 due to a heart attack, following a prolonged battle with various health issues. He was 76 years old. Just weeks prior to his untimely demise, he reunited with the rock band in Birmingham, UK, for his final performance. On the same fateful night, Kelly got engaged to Slipknot's Sid Wilson, with Ozzy, her mother, and Ozzy's wife, Sharon, witnessing the joyous moment.
A week after Ozzy's demise, a solemn funeral was held in Birmingham, where Kelly and Sharon were spotted in tears as they laid flowers at the Black Sabbath Bridge. The streets were lined with thousands of fans, paying their respects and showing unwavering support.
