Kelly Osbourne shares sweet throwback clip of late dad Ozzy Osbourne following heartbreaking tribute
Kelly Osbourne has remembered her late father, heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne, by reposting a sweet clip from their reality show “At Home with the Osbournes” to social media.
The Black Sabbath singer passed away last week, aged 76, after paramedics worked tirelessly at his Buckinghamshire home in a bid to save the singer’s life.
The 40-year-old took to Instagram on Sunday to share a clip from her family’s 2000s reality show, which followed Kelly and Ozzy, as well as wife Sharon, 72, and Jack, 39, around their Los Angeles home.
The short clip shows a then a bright pink-haired Kelly sitting on her father’s lap, with their arms draped over one another in a sweet embrace.
“I can’t say f**k, I have to behave myself,” she bellows to a figure off-camera, to which the Paranoid singer replies: “You can’t say what?”
Kelly jests with her father, known for his foul language, and pats his face, saying: “Terrible, isn’t it, the way children speak these days?
“But I learned from you, Dad, so it’s alright”, she smirks, leaning her head against his.
Smiling, he responds: “Alright, you learned from the best, baby.”
Kelly, who shared the reel without a caption, previously paid a subtle tribute to her father a few days after the passing of the Grammy award-winning music mogul.
The presenter posted lyrics from her father’s song Changes, writing: “I feel unhappy, I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had.”
Changes was first released by Black Sabbath in 1972, but Ozzy and Kelly famously re-recorded it as a duet in 2003.
The Rockstar died only weeks after reuniting with his bandmates at a farewell concert in Villa Park, Birmingham, alongside some of his favourite bands, including Guns’n’Roses and Metallica.
In a statement posted to social media, the Osbourne family said: “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. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
It has been reported that calls to emergency services led call handlers to believe that the singer’s life was in the balance when paramedics arrived, before they fought for two hours to save his life.
A spokesman for Thames Valley Air Ambulance told The Daily Mail: “We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday.”
A chopper was dispatched from Thames Valley ambulance base at RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire.
Since his death, so-called “fans” have been accused of cashing in on the late singer’s death by selling trinkets, merchandise, and even individual flakes of confetti for extortionate prices online.
Within a week, 74 listings of confetti were uploaded to online shopping website eBay, with it going for as high as £57 for four measly pieces collected from the singer’s last gig.
Desperate sellers have even put the confetti into keychains in an attempt to further double down on the Grammy winners’ passing.
As well as confetti, cash-strapped fans are also flogging the front page of newspapers announcing his death, tour posters and t-shirts, and autographs.

Sharon has yet to make a statement regarding her husband of 43 years’ death. However, sources close to the former X Factor judge say “she is very fragile”.
