Kelly Osbourne Marks Birthday with Emotional Tribute to Late Father Ozzy Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne became emotional on her 42nd birthday when her son, Sidney, presented her with a gift honoring her late father, Ozzy Osbourne. The four-year-old gave Osbourne a keyring shaped like a bat, a direct reference to the iconic Black Sabbath frontman.

Ozzy Osbourne died in July 2025 at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease and other health issues. His daughter shared a video on Instagram where she read the accompanying message from Sidney, which stated: "When life turns you upside down, look ahead and don't look round. Even in stillness you can see, your strength awakened, alive and free."

"If today was not emotional enough already, but then my favorite little man in the world went and did this!" Osbourne wrote in the caption. "I'm so lucky that I get to be his mummy! He truly is the best thing that has ever happened to me!"

Osbourne also shared a throwback photograph of herself hugging her father and a bouquet of red roses with a note that read, "I Love You Forever - Daddy." She reflected on her birthday, writing, "Birthdays are a reminder of the life you gave me, Daddy. I wish you were still here to celebrate it with me. Every candle I blow out carries the same wish… Just one more moment with you."

Earlier, Osbourne celebrated her birthday by dressing as a skeleton and dancing with Sidney in her living room to 50 Cent's "In Da Club." The mother and son wore matching skeleton costumes, with Osbourne adding a witch's hat. She also posted a photo of Sidney sleeping on her, captioned, "There is no better way to spend my birthday than cuddling with my baby!"

The personal tributes come after Osbourne revealed in the past year that she had gained two stone over six months, stating she was "as shocked as anyone else" by photos from earlier in the year. She had previously sparked concern for her health after appearing considerably slimmer at the BRIT Awards. Osbourne has denied using weight loss injections and indicated that her previous struggles stemmed from personal sadness rather than an eating disorder, stating she "just couldn't do anything for myself" during that period.
