In one shattering Instagram post, Kelly Osbourne, daughter of heavy-metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne, poured out her grief—and the world is reeling.

Now Kelly has finally spoken—and the emotional message has become an instant viral moment.

“I feel unhappy. I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔” — Kelly quoting her duet “Changes.”

Kelly’s post came exactly two days after Ozzy’s death on July 22. In her Instagram Stories, she shared the lyrics to “Changes”, the iconic father-daughter duet first released in 2003. Fans instantly recognized the significance—this was Kelly’s grieving tribute intertwined with her most personal memories.

 The Emotional Finale: Ozzy, Kelly & Sid’s Engagement

Just weeks earlier, during Ozzy’s final performance with Black Sabbath at Villa Park, backing rock giants, Kelly accepted the proposal from her longtime partner Sid Wilson, all in front of her legendary father. Ozzy even joked, “F‑k off, you’re not marrying my daughter!”—a moment now immortalized in heartbreak and love.

Less than 20 days later, Ozzy was gone.

Ozzy’s last show, “Back to the Beginning” on July 5, reunited Black Sabbath’s original members and raised £140 million for charity—all while Ozzy performed seated due to his struggle with Parkinson’s disease. He died peacefully, surrounded by family, just weeks later. The family requested privacy during this time of mourning.

In the months leading to Ozzy’s death, Kelly had become a fierce defender of her father—denouncing AI-generated fake videos claiming he was dying, and refuting wild rumors of a supposed suicide pact between Sharon and Ozzy. Kelly called the rumors “bullsh‑t,” and made it clear: Ozzy was ill, but not dying at the time.
