Kelly Osbourne has paid a heartfelt tribute to her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, as she celebrated turning 42 without him. The tribute comes more than a year after his death in July 2025.
The Black Sabbath frontman died just weeks after his final performance with the band in his home city of Birmingham. Fans did not realise at the time that it would be the last time they would see the Prince of Darkness.
A City's Farewell
His funeral procession was an emotional event, with Broad Street closed off to traffic. Thousands of fans waited patiently to pay their respects to the music legend.
The crowd erupted, cheering, clapping and chanting his name, and threw roses as the hearse, adorned with purple flowers spelling out "Ozzy," passed by. It pulled up outside the Black Sabbath Bridge bench, which was covered in tributes from Ozzy's fans, many of whom stood behind the barriers.
A Daughter's Tribute
Over a year after Ozzy's death, Kelly celebrated turning 42 and wrote a tribute to her late father on Instagram, alongside an adorable picture of them together.
She wrote: "Birthdays are a reminder of the life you gave me, Daddy. I wish you were still here to celebrate it with me. Every candle I blow out carries the same wish… Just one more moment with you."
Remembering Ozzy
The singer had suffered from a string of health issues, including multiple surgeries following a fall and Parkinson's disease. Ozzy and his wife Sharon married in 1982 and had three children: Aimee, 43, Kelly and Jack, 40. Ozzy was also a father to Jessica, Louis and adopted son Elliot from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley.
Sharon recently revealed she never told the couple's children how ill Ozzy was before his death. Speaking at a screening of the film Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning, she said: "The guys (in Black Sabbath) didn't know how sick Ozzy was. Even my kids, we never told my kids. Nobody knew how sick he was."
Opening up about their farewell concert, she added: "Besides that, just being together again in Aston Villa – where it all began – their lives must have been flashing through their heads while they were on that stage."
