Kelly Osbourne pays sweet tribute to late father Ozzy in heartfelt video as she shares 'best moment ever' following his death aged 76

Daily Mail​a day ago
Kelly Osbourne has paid a moving tribute to her father Ozzy who died just four days ago.
The Black Sabbath singer nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, died on Tuesday at the age of 76, just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with his band.
And over the last few days, the rock legend's daughter has been posting a number of heartfelt videos as a way to remember her father, who she has since described as her 'best friend'.
One included the British singer and media personality sat around the kitchen table with his family in his final days before his death, and in another, the poignant lyrics to Black Sabbath's 'Changes' - a hit Kelly and Ozzy released their own version of together in 2003.
On Saturday, Kelly uploaded a super sweet video of the two of them which saw a very touching father-daughter moment, as they danced and sang together in the car.
The clip, taken from the 2018 series of Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, saw Kelly behind the wheel of a huge HGV vehicle which was their mode of transport for the trip.
As Ozzy, who was dressed very smartly in a navy blazer, black T-shirt, trilby hat and sunglasses stepped into the vehicle, Kelly said: 'I've got this song in my head, I'm gonna have to play it for you.'
With George Ezra's 'Paradise' blaring out of the speakers, Kelly begins to sing along, with Ozzy looking bemused as he hears the hit for the first time.
However as the chorus comes on, Ozzy cracks a smile and the pair start dancing in their seats, moving their arms and about and shaking their shoulders.
Modelling some black nail polish like a pro, Ozzy can be seen moving his hands from side to side and pointing to the sky as the song continues.
As Kelly drives off to start their journey, she can be heard saying: 'I love you' with Ozzy replying 'I love you more.'
On Wednesday, MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Osbourne's multi-million-pound country home as paramedics battled to save his life.
The Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field close to Welders House, the singer's Grade II listed mansion on Tuesday morning at around 10.30am.
It's believed that calls from Welders House had led call handlers to believe that the Black Sabbath singer's life was in the balance.

A chopper was dispatched from Thames Valley ambulance base at RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, some 27 miles from the mansion which is located close to the village of Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire.
The crew were airborne for around 15 minutes before landing in the grounds of the mansion and were then with Ozzy for around two hours, trying but failing to save his life, it's understood.
Ozzy was born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, and dropped out of school at the age of 15.
After serving two months in prison for burglary, he decided to pursue his love of music and by 1970 Black Sabbath had gained a huge following in the US and UK with the release of their first album.
Ozzy quit the band in 1978 and divorced his first wife Thelma Mayfair, who he had two children with, four years later, amid his ongoing substance abuse problems.
He went on to marry second wife Sharon Osbourne, who helped him transform into a successful solo artist and the couple had three children together.
Ozzy gained a whole new audience of fans with the family's reality TV show The Osbournes in 2001.
He is survived by his wife Sharon and his five children, Jessica, Louis, Aimee, Kelly and Jack.

The statement announcing Ozzy's death was signed by four of his children, and it remains a mystery why his two other children, Jessica and Elliot, were snubbed from the family tribute.
It is unclear if they will release their own public statements, as both remain largely out of the spotlight.
Jessica was the one who made Ozzy a grandparent for the first time, and despite never appearing in The Osbournes' TV show, she was mentioned in the episode ' Smells Like Teen Spirits,' when Ozzy learned that she had welcomed a daughter.
Jessica has two daughters, Isabelle and Kitty, and one son called Harry.
Meanwhile, not much is known about Elliot Kingsley as he tends to keep out of the spotlight with no public social media accounts.
He now lives in Wellington, New Zealand with his wife Joanne Crawford, who is originally from Scotland, where the couple lived before jetting abroad.
Ozzy took to the stage for his farewell concert at Villa Park Stadium in his native Birmingham less than three weeks before his death.
The rocker reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005 to bid an emotional farewell to his decades of performing live on stage.
After selling out in minutes, over 42,000 fans packed into Villa Park for the aptly-titled Back to the Beginning show, which saw Ozzy and Black Sabbath return to their hometown - 56 years after they formed there.
The final photograph of him before his death was taken on stage as he sat on a black throne aptly decorated with a bat to perform his best-known hits for his loyal fans.
His final words on stage were: 'It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.'
A message on screen then read: 'Thank you for everything, you guys are f***ing amazing. Birmingham Forever,' before the sky lit up with fireworks.

An exhibition designed to "bring to life" more than 400 paintings by the renowned Impressionist artist Claude Monet has come to Monet, at Liverpool Exhibition Centre, uses projection technology to allow visitors to experience pieces including Water Lilies, Impression, Sunrise, and Poppies at Argenteuil."What we have done is to imagine if we went with Monet to all the different locations he painted all over Europe," said the exhibition's creative director Mathieu to the exhibition, which runs until 15 August, will see huge projections of Monet's work beamed on to walls and other surfaces. Mr St-Anaud advised people attending the exhibition to "just let go and don't think about art - experience it as an image as Monet felt when he first saw it".Anna Perry, the project's business development director, said Liverpool was chosen to host the first exhibition in Europe following the "overwhelming success" of the UK premiere of Beyond Van Gogh last also said the Liverpool Exhibition Centre team were "phenomenal to work with". Ms Perry praised the city's "culture and acceptance of art and entertainment and the value that people put in it".She said: "It just felt like there was no other place that we could premiere this."It has only been seen in North America before."Ms Perry said the immersive exhibition "really allows people to tap into elements that they might not have been aware that they were going to be exposed to or feel".She added: "They see the artwork around them, they see it on the floor, they hear the sounds, and I think people just get really blown away."Because children can run around "and feel like they've gone inside paintings" it is a great first art exhibition for youngsters, she Perry said Beyond Van Gogh would also return to Monet, who was born in 1840 and died in 1926, is acknowledged as the founder of the Impressionism movement.
