Ozzy Osbourne's bittersweet message to Kelly as she got engaged days before his death
Kelly Osbourne is currently in the midst of utter devastation after her rock legend father Ozzy Osbourne died at age 76, just mere days after she revealed her engagement to her longtime partner, Sid Wilson.
On Saturday July 5, less than three weeks before his death, Ozzy officially ended his Prince of Darkness reign as he appeared on stage for one final time. The rock icon joined his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park, Birmingham in one of the most epic farewell shows in music history.
After the incredible show, the Osbourne family were treated to a beautiful surprise as Kelly's longtime partner Sid proposed in front of her parents Ozzy and Sharon. Taking to Instagram the next day to share the joyful news, Kelly, 40, posted the sweet video of Sid's proposal as he asked to spend the rest of his life with the former reality TV star.
Alongside the video, Kelly wrote: "Oh, and this happened yesterday." In the heartwarming clip, Sharon was heard saying: "We've got to be quiet, hold on," as she shushed the crew backstage at show. Kelly's now fiancé was then heard saying: "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world."
However, Sid's romantic proposal was swiftly interrupted by a playful Ozzy who shouted: "F*** off! You're not marrying my daughter." Clearly familiar with Ozzy's banter, Sid laughed and continues asking Kelly the all-important question.
He continued: "Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?". Kelly then turned around with a look of shock on her face before holding her hands up to her face and nodding 'yes'.
The video then saw Sid showing the dazzling ring to Ozzy before one of Kelly's friends yells 'about time' as they joked about Sid not proposing sooner. Kelly and Sid then shared a long embrace before sharing a kiss while their loved ones cheered them on in the background.
Kelly and her fiance go way back and only began dating after knowing each other for over 20 years. In 2022, as Kelly confirmed their romance, a source close to the star revealed: "Kelly and Sid met when his band was touring with Ozzfest [the music festival created by Kelly's parents Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne] in 1999. They have remained friends since. They are very happy together."
The couple also share a son named Sidney, who they welcomed into the world in 2022.
The romantic proposal came after Kelly shared her support for her dad Ozzy as she arrived in Birmingham for his final live show on July 5.
Ozzy sent fans into a frenzy as he joined his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park, Birmingham in one of the most epic farewell shows in music history.
The music icon reunited with all his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Lommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005. Taking to the stage, Ozzy appeared overwhelmed by the support from the cheering crowds.
Fans travelled across the world to be there to watch the final performance and among the crowd was his daughter Kelly who was dressed in a leopard print dress, with her hair styled in big bouncy waves.
Sharing an update to her Instagram Story, Kelly shared a selfie in the car with a friend with the caption: "On our way back to the beginning".
In an emotional moment on stage at Back To The Beginning, Osbourne said: 'I don't know what to say, man, I've been laid up for like six years. "You have no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart," he told the crowd as he addressed them for what is now the final time.
Ozzy was determined to get back on stage for one final time, despite his ill health. In May, he told Sirius XM: "I am in heavy training because I haven't done any physical work for the last seven years.
"By hook or by crook. I've got to make it there. I have got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me. I'm giving it everything I've got.
"It's endurance. The first thing that goes when you're laid up is your stamina. I am having my blood pressure taken 15 times a day... I've got this f***ing device on my finger. It's a monitor to say how my heart rate is. I'm constantly in training seven days a week I've got this guy who's virtually living with me, and I'm in bed by seven."
The Changes musician was suffering from Parkinson's disease in the lead-up to his death. He underwent a strict training programme in order to be able to headline the giant show in Birmingham.
In the build-up to the show, Ozzy's wife Sharon said: 'Ozzy's working with his therapist every single day. He's doing really well, actually. Ozzy's number one thing in life is his fans, so he's working hard to be ready for them, to make this show the perfect way to end things.'
Ozzy's heartbroken family confirmed he died today surrounded by his loved ones.
Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis said: " 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. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis."

Oasis dedicate song to Ozzy Osbourne as they begin series of gigs in London
Liam Gallagher told tens of thousands of fans of his pride as the band graced the stage at Wembley Stadium for the first time in more than a decade. Just three songs into their much-anticipated appearance, he declared the crowd was 'f****** beautiful', having bowed to the sea of raised arms before him. Liam and brother Noel played with their band for the first of seven nights at the stadium on Friday – with five shows over the next week and two more scheduled in September. It was the first time they had appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour. Towards the end of the gig, they paid tribute to Osbourne. Lead singer Liam said: 'I wanna dedicate this one to Ozzy Osbourne, rock 'n' roll star.' The Black Sabbath star's death at the age of 76 was announced earlier this week. Oasis superfans in bucket hats and branded T-shirts had packed the Tube en route to the gig from earlier in the day, with international accents denoting the band's worldwide popularity. As with previous gigs Liam and Noel walked onstage hand in hand, opened with Hello and proceeded to belt out many of their classics including Some Might Say and Morning Glory. The packed-out stadium was in full voice throughout and at one point Liam threw a tambourine into the jubilant crowd, while later positioning one on top of his head. Despite pledging to concentrate on his vocals rather than talking – telling those gathered 'every time I open my mouth at these gigs I seem to get myself into a lot of trouble so I'm just going to do the singing' – Liam later engaged in some light football banter. The well-known Manchester City fan appeared to poke fun at Arsenal fans in the crowd, joking about their position in the Premier league. Phone camera torches lit up the stadium as darkness fell and crowd-pleasers Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova closed the gig. At various points Noel thanked the crowd, with Liam telling them they had been 'amazing', ahead of fireworks erupting into the London sky. Friday's show – the eighth of the tour – followed a five-night run of homecoming gigs in Manchester's Heaton Park and the two opening shows in Cardiff earlier this month. Following the first part of their Wembley stint, the band will head up north to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium followed by Dublin's Croke Park. The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August of last year – 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris. While fans were excited at the Britpop band's reunion, many were left outraged after some standard tickets in the UK and Ireland jumped from £148 to £355. The controversy prompted the Government and the UK's competition watchdog to pledge to look at the use of dynamic pricing.

Strictly star slams ‘manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe
Keep scrolling to see what the star had to say star swipe Strictly star slams 'manipulative' TV industry after quitting fame for OnlyFans – and reveals family member's jibe A FORMER Strictly star has branded the TV industry as 'manipulative' after quitting fame for OnlyFans. John Whaite rose to fame after winning The Great British Bake Off in 2012. 4 TV star John Whaite has competed in Strictly and Great British Bake Off Credit: PA 4 He danced with Johannes Radebe on Strictly Credit: PA 4 The star returned to OnlyFans earlier this year Credit: Instagram The 36-year-old later competed on Strictly Come Dancing, finishing as runner-up behind Rose Ayling-Ellis. Speaking to Gay Times Magazine, John opened up about his experiences in the TV industry. The baker and presenter said: "I think the deeper conversation here is about welfare generally within the TV industry. I think that is still very much an elusive beast. "As soon as Strictly finishes, it's like, get out the hotel, get out the flat, go home, but that is a life- altering event for the individual who's been subject to the headlines, often at the hand of these shows, because these shows sometimes feed stories to the media. "TV is manipulative and it's a distortion of truth, there's always an ulterior motive. "People aren't being fed the unadulterated, objective truth. And I certainly don't subscribe to that." Continuing, John recounted how he was "around 23" during his time on Bake Off. He recalled thinking his "existence hinged on being successful in television." John added: "But I think when you go through all these different permutations of your life, you start to realise that the b******t just does not matter. "What actually matters is your health, your sanity, your loved ones, your family, be it biological or chosen." Strictly and OnlyFans star John Whaite opens up on health struggle, saying 'it makes life almost unbearable' Elsewhere in the interview, John revealed a family member had called him "disgusting" due to his OnlyFans content. The Sun previously revealed how he made a return to the platform earlier this year. The star had been posting a series of very explicit videos and images for his legion of subscribers on the adult-only website. Sources close to the star – who was paired with Johannes Radebe on Strictly - said: 'John has been telling friends he feels really empowered by posting what he wants. 'He's in amazing shape and is proud of how far he has come. 'He's says it really has nothing to do with money and it's not about helping fund his bakery business. 'John doesn't care what anyone else thinks. "He's really happy with the content he is creating.'
