Kelly Osbourne has opened up about the intense grief she has been facing since the passing of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, revealing that she slept in his bed for two weeks after he died. The 41-year-old star spoke with raw honesty as she reunited with her family for a new episode of The Osbournes podcast, which returned after a year-long break. Her reflections painted a vivid picture of the emotional shock that followed the loss of the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, who died in July at the age of 76.
In the deeply personal conversation, Kelly shared that she spent nights in Ozzy’s room immediately after his death, partly to provide comfort for her mother, Sharon. She explained that she didn’t want Sharon to feel isolated in those earliest days of mourning. For weeks, the mother and daughter remained close, trying to steady one another through the heaviness of their shared loss. Kelly said she eventually gave her mother more space, understanding that everyone moves through grief differently and needs moments alone as well as moments together.
Kelly described mornings as the most painful part of her day, explaining that for a brief moment upon waking, she would forget what had happened. Those first few seconds of normalcy were followed by the crushing return of reality. She said the early hours of the day hurt the most because that was when she usually spent time with Ozzy, making the absence feel even more pronounced. According to Kelly, each morning begins with the same wave of sadness, and she admitted that tears have become a frequent outlet for her emotions.
Reflecting on her three-year-old son Sidney’s bond with his grandfather, Kelly spoke with gratitude that they had time to form such a close connection. She said she cherishes that her son had the chance to know Ozzy personally, even if only for a few years. She also noted that the widespread public mourning in the UK has offered unexpected comfort, helping the family feel supported as fans, friends, and colleagues continue to share their condolences and memories of the rock legend.
The return of The Osbournes podcast came with an episode titled “Remembering Ozzy,” which centered not only on the heartbreak surrounding his death but also on the joyful experiences the family shared with him over the years. Sharon, who joined Kelly and Jack for the recording, admitted that nights have been especially hard for her. She expressed that going to bed without Ozzy, her husband of more than four decades, is one of the toughest parts of adjusting to life without him.
Ozzy passed away in July at the family’s Buckinghamshire home, surrounded by Sharon and his children. The family confirmed the news with a statement expressing a depth of sorrow that they said words could barely capture. They asked the public to respect their privacy as they navigated the early days of their grief. The announcement was met with an immense outpouring of love from fans across the globe, many of whom regarded Ozzy as a monumental figure in the history of rock music.
His death occurred just weeks after what would become his final live performance, when he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates—Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward—for a farewell show in Birmingham. The set featured five songs and was hailed as a historic moment in heavy metal music. Ozzy appeared visibly emotional as he thanked fans for their decades of loyalty, smiling through the cheers that filled the venue. He had previously announced that the concert would be his last, citing his declining health and his long-public struggle with Parkinson’s disease, which he revealed in 2020.
Ozzy’s legacy spans more than sixty years, earning him the title “Prince of Darkness” and establishing him as one of the most influential figures in rock history. He leaves behind Sharon, their children Aimee, Jack, and Kelly, and a lifetime of unforgettable performances that reshaped the music world. Since his passing, tributes have continued pouring in, and Kelly has been open about how profoundly she misses him. She has described herself as overwhelmed by grief but at the same time deeply moved by how many people loved her father.
In her most vulnerable moments, Kelly said she still finds herself crying simply because the loss feels so vast. She has embraced these emotions as part of her healing, acknowledging that grieving someone as meaningful as Ozzy is a process with no simple path. And although the pain remains sharp, she and her family continue to honor him—both publicly and privately—as they lean on one another while learning how to live in a world without him.
