Kelly Osbourne opened up about losing Ozzy, drinking again, and the final words from her father that still carry her. Kelly Osbourne says Ozzy’s death shattered her, but his last words and a tighter support circle are helping her stay sober. Originally reported by Page Six.
Grief flattened her

Kelly Osbourne said Ozzy’s death left her unable to speak, eat, or care for herself. She described the loss as hitting “ground zero.”
“I was a shell of myself.”
She started drinking again

Kelly said she relapsed because she could not handle losing her father. She now says she is eight months sober.
“I can honestly say, today I’m eight months sober.”
Her circle got smaller
She said grief cost her friendships because some people expected her to move on. Kelly said she will never be over losing Ozzy.
“People don’t like sadness.”
Ozzy’s last message

Three days before he died, Ozzy sat Kelly down and told her she could always know one man truly loved her exactly as she was.
“That man is me.”
She begged him to stop

Kelly said she cried when Ozzy spoke so directly about not being around forever. He told her he knew she struggled to believe she was loved.
“I love you more than anyone.”
Weight loss brought attacks

After Ozzy’s death, Kelly said people accused her of using Ozempic. She later said grief changed her appearance so much that she wore wigs to hide it.
Family was at his side

Ozzy died at 76 on July 22, 2025, after a heart attack. Page Six reported Kelly, Aimee, Jack, Louis, and Sharon were with him when he died.
She lost her best friend

Days after his death, Kelly wrote that she felt unhappy and had lost the best friend she ever had, echoing Ozzy’s Black Sabbath song “Changes.”
“I lost the best friend I ever had.”
