Kelly Osbourne Remembers ‘1 of the Best Ozzy Moments Ever’ Days After Her Dad’s Death

“I feel unhappy I am so sad,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, July 24. “I lost the best friend I ever had.”

Just a week prior to her father’s surprising death, Kelly responded to a fan and social media use who claimed she didn’t “understand how Parkinson’s disease works” because she had publicly denied that Ozzy was actively “dying.”

“This is the s*** I wake up to,” Kelly wrote at the time, sharing a screenshot of the DM she received from the fan. “Wtf is wrong with people?”

She continued, “Believe me I fully understand how this works. Your message is incredibly rude. So firstly I want to telly ou to go f*** yourself! He is not in stage 5!! That is not the way his kind of Parkinson’s works.”

Ozzy revealed he was diagnosed with Parkins’s in 2020.

“It’s been terribly challenging for us all,” he said on an appearance of Good Morning America at the time. “I did my last show New Year’s Eve at The Forum. Then I had a bad fall. I had to have surgery on my neck, which screwed all my nerves.”

Of course, it was not Ozzy’s last show – just weeks before his death he gave his final performance with his famed band Black Sabbath at the Back to the Beginning festival in Birmingham, England, on July 5.

More than 45,000 people filled Birmingham’s Villa Park soccer stadium for the special event, with another 5.8 million watching online. According to Billboard, the concert event raised more $190 million, and funds will be distributed equally to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Acorn Children’s Hospice and Cure Parkinson’s — an organization dedicated to finding a cure for the disease Ozzy had lived with since 2019.
