Kelly Osbourne denied dad Ozzy Osbourne had suicide pact with Sharon weeks before his death
Kelly Osbourne vehemently denied that dad Ozzy Osbourne had a suicide pact with his wife, Sharon Osbourne, less than two weeks before his death at the age of 76.
“Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact,” Kelly, 40, told her Instagram followers earlier this month.
“That was bulls–t my mom said to get attention one time. And my dad’s not dying. Stop.”
Kelly acknowledged that the rock star had Parkinson’s disease as well as limited mobility stemming from a 2003 quad bike accident that nearly killed him, but she insisted he was “not dying.”
The strong message came about because an AI video had been circulating online, with a voice similar to Ozzy’s saying, “I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die.”
As for the suicide pact in question, Sharon, 72, first made the shocking claim in a 2007 interview.
“We believe 100% in euthanasia,” the matriarch — who battles depression and attempted suicide three times — said at the time. “[We] have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains.
“If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s [disease], that’s it — we’d be off,” she continued, adding that they couldn’t “put [their] kids through that.”
According to Sharon, the couple’s children — Kelly, son Jack Osbourne, 39, and daughter Aimee Osbourne, 41 — had “all agreed to go with” the plan.
Ozzy, for his part, explained in 2014 that he and the former “Talk” co-host only wanted to live their lives “the way [they’re] living it now.”
Sharon doubled down on the suicide pact in a 2023 episode of the family’s “Osbourne Podcast,” telling Jack that they didn’t want to “suffer.”
“I don’t want it to actually hurt,” she elaborated. “Mental suffering is enough pain without physical. So if you’ve got mental and physical, see ya.”
Kelly chimed in, “But what if you could survive?” to which her mom retorted, “Yeah, what if you survived and you can’t wipe your own ass, you’re pissing everywhere, s–tting, can’t eat?”
Kelly and Sharon have not individually addressed Ozzy’s death.
However, the family issued a collective statement Tuesday which read, “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,” they went on. “We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”
The former Black Sabbath frontman shared son Louis Osbourne with his first wife, Thelma Riley, to whom he was married from 1971 to 1982.
The former couple are also parents to son Elliot Kingsley, who is in his mid-50s, and daughter Jessica Osbourne, 45.
Ozzy married Sharon in 1982.
