Kelly Osbourne Mourns Death of Dad Ozzy Osbourne
is grieving the loss of her father .
Following the Black Sabbath frontman's death on July 22 at age 76, his daughter shared a touching tribute on her Instagram Story July 24 with lyrics to his 1972 song "Changes."
"I feel unhappy,' the 40-year-old wrote. 'I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had."
Just days before Ozzy's passing, Kelly—who costarred on the MTV reality series The Osbournes with her dad as well as mom Sharon Osbourne, 72, and brother Jack Osbourne, 39, from 2002 to 2005—addressed online speculation that the heavy metal icon's health was deteriorating.
'There's this video going around on social media and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI,' she said in a clip posted on her Instagram Stories July 11. 'It has a voice like my dad's David Attenborough or something, and it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die. I know I'm going to die.''
Kelly went on to condemn the creators of the viral video before plainly stating that her father was 'not dying.'

'Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be,' she admitted, 'but he's not dying. What is wrong with you?'
The 'Changes' singer also addressed reports that Ozzy and Sharon—who wed in 1982 and are also parents to Aimee Osbourne, 41—had agreed to a suicide pact, a rumor which stemmed from comments Sharon made to The Mirror in 2017.
'Stop making articles or posts about how you think my parents are having a suicide pact,' she said. 'That was bulls--t my mom said to get attention one time. And my dad's not dying. Stop.'
During Ozzy's final Black Sabbath concert earlier this month, he and Kelly shared a special family moment as her partner Sid Wilson—with whom she shares 2-year-old son Sidney—got down on one knee and proposed backstage. But of course, the Grammy winner had to inject some of his signature humor into the heartfelt moment.
'F--k off,' he joked as Sid began to pop the question, 'you're not marrying my daughter.'
In his final years, Ozzy faced a number of health complications including a battle with Parkinson's disease, which he shared publicly in 2020. Two years later, he underwent what Sharon described as a "major operation" that was "really going to determine the rest of his life."
Following his death, his family said that they were filled with "more sadness than mere words can convey."
"He was with his family and surrounded by love," they said in a statement to E! News. "We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."

Fans of Vermont Maple Cremee Will Love This New Brooklyn Ice Cream Shop
is a born-and-raised New Yorker who is an editor for Eater's Northeast region and Eater New York, was the former Eater Austin editor for 10 years, and often writes about food and pop culture. Fans of maple creemes, the iconic Vermont maple frozen specialty, will find a similarly styled dessert in Brooklyn from a new ice cream shop. Maple Creamery opened in Crown Heights at 653 Sterling Place, near Franklin Avenue, on Saturday, July 26. Maple Creamery's menu is full of vegan ice creams made with maple syrup sourced from a farm outside of Vermont. Co-founders Collin Whyte and Bailey Rollins tell Eater over Instagram direct message that the soil from the property in Vermont, where the team sources their maple — which has been running since the 1800s — 'gives the syrup a unique taste of butterscotch.' Flavors include matcha lemonade, strawberry shortcake, and, yes, maple. There are also vegan baked goods such as cookies and cakes. New bookstore cafe alert The recent Upper West Side location of the Strand debuted a new cafe this summer, as reported by West Side Rag. Cafe Fred opened at 2020 Broadway between West 69th and 70th streets on Wednesday, July 23. There's the typical cafe menu of coffee, espresso, baked goods like tahini chocolate chip cookies, and sandwiches. There are some indoor seats, with a plan to expand with outdoor seating. The name, per the publication, is in honor of Strand founder Benjamin Bass's son, Fred Bass, who was key in turning the bookstore into a New York legend. NYC bakery keeps growing in Queens Growing NYC French-style bakery Somedays is opening its fourth location this summer. The newest bakery will be found in Bayside at 212-67 26th Avenue, near Bell Boulevard, starting on Friday, August 1. The bakery's new menu items include a croissant pudding ice cream sandwich (it's really the era of ice cream sandwiches), hot dog croissants (hot dog summer continues), and elote danishes. Otherwise, expect its lattice croissants, cookies, coffee, and more. So many croissants at Somedays Bakery. Courtesy of Mike Chau

Jason Momoa shaves beard for 1st time in 6 years for 'Dune 3'
Jason Momoa is changing up his look again, shaving his beard for the first time in six years for his return in the upcoming film "Dune: Part Three." The actor can be seen shaving outdoors in a new Instagram video post and shares his reaction along the way. "Damn it! I hate it," Momoa says in the video. "I think it's been about six years, maybe a little bit more, since I did 'Dune.' What was really special about that is, that is when I started and I started launching Mananalu," he continues, referring to the reusable bottled water company he launched in 2019. "Only for you, Denis," he adds, a nod to "Dune" film series director and co-writer Denis Villeneuve. Momoa played Duncan Idaho in the 2021 "Dune" film and is expected to reprise the role for the third installment. The cast of "Dune: Part Three" is aiming to begin filming soon, and the film is slated for a potential 2026 release. Momoa's 16-year-old son Nakoa-Wolf Momoa was also recently announced as a new cast member of "Dune: Part Three." Momoa, a father of two, told Extra what he thought about his son following his footsteps into the entertainment world. "It's going to be good. He did it on his own. I don't want to help him," Momoa said. "I couldn't do what he's doing at his age," he added. "There's no way I could sit in a room with ['Dune: Part Three' director] Denis Villeneuve and hold my own. I was on 'Baywatch' at 19. He's 16 and holding s--- down with Denis Villeneuve."
