Kelly Osbourne made final promise to dad Ozzy before his death: report

Kelly Osbourne is reportedly doing her best to keep the final promise she made to her father, Ozzy Osbourne, before he died.

“The last few days have been a tough ride, but Kelly has been focused on executing plans with her mom,” a source told the Daily Mail Thursday.

“Of course, there have been tears, but she promised her dad — who openly spoke about not wanting people to mourn but rather celebrate his life — that she would not crumble in public.”

According to the source, Ozzy — who died last Tuesday at the age of 76 — “always pushed” his family to “celebrate what people have done in life, not f–king worry about what’s next.”

While Kelly, 40, is trying to maintain her strength and composure, she and her siblings are reportedly “concerned about the impact this is having on [matriarch] Sharon” Osbourne, who was married to the rock legend for 43 years.

“She and Ozzy were such a unique couple,” the source said, adding that “them being apart … is heartbreaking.”

Sharon, 72, looked visibly distraught during her late husband’s funeral procession through his home city of Birmingham, England, on Wednesday.

A hearse containing the former Black Sabbath frontman’s body traveled along Broad Street and made its way to the Black Sabbath Bridge and bench, where thousands of mourners from around the world left flowers and messages.

Sharon, Kelly, and her brother, Jack Osbourne, 39 — who were all part of the cortège — tearfully exited their vehicle to stop at the bench.

Sharon, who was held up by Kelly and Jack, sobbed as she bent down to place a pink flower wrapped in black paper among the massive pile of tributes.

The emotional bunch, which eventually included two of Ozzy’s other kids — son Louis Osbourne, who is about 50, and daughter Aimee Osbourne, 41 — turned to face the crowd and flashed peace signs before getting back in their car.

The event, which preceded a “small, private funeral,” was funded by the Osbourne family.

While Ozzy had Parkinson’s disease and limited mobility stemming from a 2003 quad bike accident that nearly killed him, his cause of death has not yet been revealed.

Shortly after paramedics tried for hours to save his life, his family issued a collective statement that 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 continued. “We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

Kelly went on to tell her Instagram followers, “I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔.”

Ozzy’s health was reportedly already in “fragile” condition when he and Sharon, who wed in 1982, moved back to England in 2023 to live out “their final chapter” in Buckinghamshire.

Together, they had Aimee, Kelly and Jack, while Ozzy shared Louis with his first wife, Thelma Riley, to whom he was married from 1971 to 1982.

The exes are also parents to son Elliot Kingsley, who is in his mid-50s, and daughter Jessica Osbourne, 45.
