Kelly Osbourne Mourns Ozzy’s Death in Heartbreaking Post

• Kelly Osbourne quoted Black Sabbath’s “Changes” in her emotional tribute to Ozzy.
• The father-daughter duo’s 2003 version of the song redefined their relationship.
• Ozzy died on July 22 2025 weeks after his final concert and Kelly’s engagement.

The music world mourns the loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away at 76 on July 22, 2025, surrounded by family.

Now, his daughter Kelly Osbourne has broken her silence with a heartbreaking tribute, quoting lyrics from their iconic duet “Changes”, a song that once symbolized their bond and now echoes her grief.

In her first public statement since Ozzy’s death, Kelly shared a poignant message on Instagram:

“I feel unhappy. I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had.”

These words, borrowed from Black Sabbath’s 1972 ballad, carry deep personal meaning. In 2003, Kelly and Ozzy re-recorded “Changes” with rewritten lyrics, transforming it from a breakup song into a father-daughter anthem. The track topped the UK charts, making them only the second father-daughter duo (after Frank and Nancy Sinatra) to achieve this feat.

Her post, set against a black background, reflects the raw pain of losing a parent—one who was not just a rock icon but also her confidant. Just two days before his passing, Kelly shared a tender video of Ozzy at breakfast, cheerfully greeting the camera: “Good morning!”, a moment now frozen in time.

Ozzy’s death came weeks after his final Black Sabbath performance in Birmingham, where Kelly got engaged to her longtime partner, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson. In a bittersweet twist, Ozzy witnessed the proposal backstage, jokingly protesting,

“F**k off, you’re not marrying my daughter!”

before the couple embraced.

Despite his declining health, Parkinson’s disease and mobility struggles from a 2019 spinal injury, Ozzy remained defiant against rumors of his imminent death. Kelly had recently slammed AI-generated videos falsely depicting him saying, “I know I’m going to die,” calling them “disgusting” and clarifying, “He’s not dying. What is wrong with you?”.

The Osbourne family’s official statement emphasized Ozzy’s peaceful passing:

“He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

Celebrities like Elton John honored the “Prince of Darkness,” writing:

“So sad to hear the news… a true legend. I will miss him dearly.”

Meanwhile, Jack Osbourne’s ex-wife, Lisa Stelly, shared a touching tribute to Ozzy as a grandfather:

“The world got Ozzy. We got Papa.”
