Osbourne Family Members Continue Remembering Rock Star Ozzy After His Death at 76
The late singer and songwriter's loved ones are still reeling from his recent passing as his youngest daughter and daughter-in-law paid heartfelt tributes to him.
Kelly Osbourne took to her Instagram Stories on August 4, 2025, expressing appreciation to fans who have showered her family with support following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne.
"I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough... but from the bottom of my heart, thank you 💜," she began in the post.
The fashion designer shared that "the love, support, and beautiful messages" she received from supporters have helped carry her amid these challenging times in her life.
"Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain," she said. Kelly also opened up about her grieving process:
"Grief is a strange thing — it sneaks up on you in waves — I will not be ok for a while — but knowing my family are [sic] not alone in our pain makes a difference. I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind."
The 40-year-old British native thanked fans for their unwavering support and expressed her adoration for them. "– Kelly ❤️✨ #BirminghamForever #OzzyForever," she concluded.
She is not the only family member who remembered him. Her sister-in-law, Aree Osbourne, also paid tribute to Ozzy on Instagram, writing:
"I'm pretty sure I have the coolest father in law around, and the best papa to my kids. The world got a rockstar but we got an ice lolly loving, goofy, big hearted guy who made us laugh like no other."

Aree shared that the Black Sabbath frontman was always on her side and that she is grateful to him for raising her husband, Jack Osbourne, and for blessing her with her family.
"[...] Keep giving us all those signs from above 🖤✨ We'll keep your name loud, your stories alive, and your love wrapped around us like armor. Forever our guy," she added. Aree posted a carousel featuring memories of Ozzy and the rest of the family, including one photo of them together at her wedding.
The family patriarch passed away at 76 on July 22, 2025. His loved ones gave him a befitting send-off by allowing a funeral procession at the Black Sabbath Bridge bench on Broad Street for fans to bid farewell on July 30 in Birmingham, England.
His son from a previous marriage, Louis Osbourne, joined Aimee, Jack, and Sharon Osbourne, along with Kelly, to lay flowers at the ceremony.

Both Sharon and her eldest child, Aimee, were visibly emotional as they broke down in tears while fans shouted Ozzy's name several times. Jack stood nearby the mother and daughter duo as he looked on at the crowd.
Aimee has largely lived her life away from the limelight, so her appearance at the funeral procession was rare. She even decided not to appear on the family's reality show, "The Osbournes."
During an appearance on the "Disrespectfully" podcast on July 16, 2025, Jack revealed that he and Aimee are not close. "We don't have a great relationship. She'll be the first to tell you that. So, it's no secret," he admitted.
When asked if he would question his sister about why she chose not to appear on "The Osbournes," he said he has never asked her directly. However, he believes that, deep down, she may wonder how her life would have turned out if she had joined the show.
As for Jack, he is happy that he did star on the series and has no regrets. He added that the experience was "interesting," especially considering how media has evolved since that time. According to him, television viewing was more exciting then compared to now.
As previously reported, he and his siblings reunited at their father's funeral. Rock icon Ozzy was laid to rest in his hometown of Birmingham, England, in a private service following a procession that drew family, friends, and fans from around the world.
