Ozzy died in July 2025 at the age of 76. However, his daughter Kelly is not still over the loss yet.

She revealed,“I won't lie. I won't be one of those people that say I'm fine because I'm not. That's the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life.”

The 41-year-old TV personality, who attended the Grammys with her partner Sid Wilson, further shared that Wilson and her baby are helping her cope with the pain.

Kelly calls Ozzy 'one of the greatest men to ever live'

Kelly also noted that she, her mother Sharon, and her brother, Jack Osbourne, all have bonded during this difficult time.

“I didn't think we could ever get more bonded, but we did,” she stated.

She further added that her father “was one of the greatest men to ever live [on] the planet. And to show I don't have enough gratitude to the Grammys for what they're doing tonight. You know, it's a really beautiful thing.”

Kelly also disclosed the ways she honors her late father.

“There's so many things that we do that we always keep a seat at the table for him. I light a candle every day. For him, I wear a locket. It's under my dress, you can't see it, but it has his picture in it, and my baby opens it every day and gives it a kiss and says hi to Papa,” she added.
