Kelly Osbourne lauds supportive fans after Ozzy's death
The rock legend was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and died at the age of 76 on July 22, surrounded by his family.
Since his death, tributes have been pouring in from fans and friends around the world with thousands visiting the Black Sabbath Bench in the musician's home city of Birmingham to lay bouquets, wreaths, posters, balloons, candles and cards.
The Osbourne family visited the bench in Broad Street last Wednesday to lay their own flowers during a cortege procession.
Kelly, 40, who starred in the 2000s reality series The Osbournes, shared a post on her Instagram story on Monday thanking fans for their support.
She said: "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.
"The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.
"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 not alone in our pain makes a difference.
"I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind.
Thank you for being there. I love you all so much. - Kelly #BirminghamForever #OzzyForever."
On Monday, Birmingham City Council began gathering up the tributes so they can be stored before being handed over to the Osbourne family.
A handful of fans watched from behind barriers, took photographs and hugged each other as officials in hi-vis jackets collected all the flowers and tributes which had been laid in front of the bench and on the railings behind it.
The council said the mementos would be gathered and preserved "respectfully" in agreement with the rock star's relatives and then stored "with the utmost care at a secure location, ensuring they are protected and treated with dignity".
The council said: "In due course, they will be passed on to the Osbourne family, so they may keep them as a lasting reminder of the public's affection and support."
In a statement released through the city council, the Osbourne family said: "We are deeply moved by the heartfelt tributes that have been placed at the Black Sabbath Bridge and at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street in recent days.
"These expressions of remembrance reflect the profound impact that Ozzy had on the city and its people, as well as fans from around the world - BIRMINGHAM FOREVER!"
Kelly Osbourne has thanked fans for their "support" during the "hardest moment" of her life following the death of her father, the Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex wished a happy birthday by her As Ever brand
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's As Ever brand has wished "the woman behind it all" a happy birthday. The royal turned 44 on Monday (04.08.25) and has marked the occasion by releasing new wine products through her lifestyle brand and delivering a gushing social media tribute to herself via the company's social media. A new Instagram post from As Ever is captioned: "Celebrating the woman behind it all. "She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder." The former Suits actress - who was known as Meghan Markle before she married Prince Harry in 2018 - also revealed on her birthday that As Ever's signature pink wine will be available to customers on Tuesday (05.08.25), making the tipple's first restock since it was unveiled in the brand's June product drop. An email message reads: "Today, our founder celebrates another year (Happy Birthday, Meghan!) and tomorrow, we're raising a glass to celebrate our newest release! "We are thrilled to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rose is available tomorrow, Tuesday August 5." The note added: "Harvested under the California sun, this dazzling vintage embodies everything we love - it's where timeless elegance meets the spirit of summer. "We've worked thoughtfully to bring these exceptional bottles to you, and more of your other favourite As Ever products are also being restocked shortly. There is so much to celebrate, and we're honoured to share these special moments with you." Meghan and Harry - who have children Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, together - stepped back as senior working royals in 2020 and moved from the UK to California but it was reported recently that the pair's lucrative Netflix contract, said to be worth around $100 million, will not be renewed once it expires in September. The pair worked on a number of shows for the streamer - including the tell-all documentary Harry and Meghan and the Duchess' lifestyle series With Love, Meghan - but both parties feel that the arrangement has come to a natural end. A source told The Sun newspaper: "The deal is done; no more shows will be made. Netflix feel they've got all they can from the couple... They're not unhappy with how things turned out — they got those initial hits, and produced one of the most talked-about shows of all time. "There's no animosity from either side. Things have just run their course." Another insider told the Daily Mail newspaper: "They're just waiting for the credits to roll. They're letting it expire without drama. There's no appetite for anything new."

'I don't know what the heck is going to come out': Heidi Klum to start a worm and parasite cleanse
Heidi Klum is planning a worm and parasite cleanse. The 52-year-old supermodel has revealed that she and her husband Tom Kaulitz, 35, intend to try out the cleanse as they attempt to rid their bodies of potentially harmful worms and parasites. Heidi told the Wall Street Journal: "I'm going to deworm and de-parasite for the first time. Everything I'm getting on my Instagram feed at the moment is about worms and parasites. So I'm doing a worm cleanse and parasite cleanse with my husband. "I heard that you're supposed to do this once a year, and I've never done it. So I feel like I'm really behind. I don't know what the heck is going to come out." The model added: "Apparently, we all have parasites and worms. If you are someone who eats raw things every now and then, like, for example, sushi. There are pills (to get rid of them), they have all of these herbs. There's a lot of clove in there. The parasite hates clove. They also hate the seeds from a papaya. We have all this metal inside of us, and it's also very important that you use this de-metaling stuff. "I'm starting this now, and you have to do this for months. It's like a whole thing." Meanwhile, Heidi explained that she is constantly on the go. The former America's Got Talent judge said: "I feel like I exercise every day because I don't sit around on the couch. I'm always moving, doing things. I don't have someone that packs and unpacks for me. I run thousands of errands. "Today, for example, I have a fitting, then I try on I don't know how many outfits. It's clothes on and off, on and off, on and off, on and off. So I feel like I exercise kind of all the time. "Then we have a pool at home, so I swim a little bit in the pool. And we have a trampoline." Meanwhile, Klum is returning to the reality TV series Project Runway after an eight-year absence and is delighted to be revisiting her "first television baby". She said: "Project Runway is my first television baby. It's something that I have helped create, help sell to the network that ended up choosing us at the time. I love the show. I'm proud of the show. "I feel like we've come a long way. We talked about important things on the show that were kind of groundbreaking, I thought, at the time, including body positivity. "So I feel like, 'Yes, I'm coming back.' But you know, in my heart, I was never really gone."
