Kelly Osbourne has issued her first public statement on the passing of her father, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, through an Instagram Story shared via Instagram.
The brief post quoted lyrics from the ballad ‘Changes.’ Kelly and Ozzy recorded this song together in 2003, expressing her deep personal grief.
‘I feel unhappy I am so sad,’ Kelly Osbourne said. ‘I lost the best friend I ever had.’
The emotional tribute holds special significance in the Osbourne family history. The father-daughter duo’s version of ‘Changes’ reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in December 2003, as reported by Official Charts Company.
The song choice reflects their close relationship through the years. Kelly has been open about her father’s influence on her life and career. In a 2023 interview with People Magazine, she discussed how Ozzy supported her through personal challenges, including her journey to sobriety.
This statement follows Ozzy’s retirement from touring in 2023. The Black Sabbath frontman announced his decision through Rolling Stone, citing health concerns and his desire to spend more time with family.
Kelly’s tribute comes at a significant time for the Osbourne family. She has recently embraced motherhood, welcoming her first child in 2022, and has spoken about wanting to pass on her father’s musical legacy to the next generation.
The family has maintained a strong public presence through their reality TV success and individual careers. Their bond has remained resilient despite personal challenges and health struggles.
