Kelly Osbourne reflects on missing Ozzy Osbourne on Father's Day

Kelly is being very open about grief, showing a softer, more vulnerable side in her Father's Day message. She posted 13 unseen photos, which fans say capture one of the most beautiful father-daughter bonds.

She described how missing someone does not stay in one place. Instead, it appears in small, unexpected moments throughout daily life. Her message also reflected how grief does not follow a straight timeline.

The most powerful part of her tribute was the full message she shared, kept exactly as it was written: “Dad, I still find myself looking for you in ordinary moments, the advice I need, the joke I want to tell, the victory I wish you could see. The ache of missing you is the price of loving you.” 

“And I would pay it forever rather than have never been your child at all! I will never stop missing you. It is an honor to spend the rest of my life loving you. Until we meet again!”

Kelly has said she lost her “best friend” following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, who died on Tuesday, June 22, 2025, at the age of 76.

The heavy metal pioneer had recently performed with Black Sabbath at a farewell show in his hometown of Birmingham, a final appearance that carried emotional weight for fans and family alike.

The father-daughter duo shared a famously close bond over the years. They appeared together on the MTV reality series 'The Osbournes', which ran from 2002 to 2005 and offered a candid look at their family life.

Following his death, the Osbourne family released a statement saying, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love.”
