Kelly Osbourne is sharing the deeply personal message her father, Ozzy Osbourne, gave her just days before his death.
During an appearance on Paul C. Brunson’s “We Need to Talk” podcast, Kelly Osbourne said the Black Sabbath frontman sat her down three days before his death for an emotional conversation about how much he loved her.
The TV personality recalled her father telling her that "No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing there was one man on this planet that truly loved you. That truly loved you for every single thing that you are. And that one man is me."
The conversation immediately made Kelly Osbourne emotional. She said she began crying and pleaded, “Please don’t talk like this.” She said he responded
"you know I'm not going to be here forever," and then acknowledged that his daughter sometimes struggled to believe she was loved.
“Three days later, he was gone,” Kelly Osbourne said.
Ozzy Osbourne died July 22,2025, at 76 of a heart attack. His family announced at the time that the legendary rocker died surrounded by loved ones.
The father-daughter exchange came shortly after Ozzy Osbourne fulfilled one of his final wishes: returning to the stage for a farewell concert. On July 5, 2025, he reunited with original Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward during the star-studded Back to the Beginning concert in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, England.
Kelly Osbourne credited her mother, Sharon Osbourne, with making the performance possible despite the musician's declining health. She explained that the concert allowed her father to say goodbye to his fans and thank them for supporting him throughout his decades-long career.
Kelly Osbourne has spoken candidly about the physical and emotional toll of losing her father. Earlier this month, she addressed concerns about her significant weight loss, explaining that she had been unwell while grieving.
She later revealed that she used a voluminous wig to help conceal how much weight she had lost before making a public appearance. Kelly Osbourne said she initially did not recognize how dramatically her appearance had changed as she coped with her father’s death.
