Kelly Osbourne has shared a deeply emotional tribute to her late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, on what would have been his 77th birthday.
A Daughter's Emotional Tribute
On Wednesday, 3rd December, the 41-year-old daughter of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne posted a series of heartfelt messages and images to her social media accounts. The posts commemorated her father's birthday, a day of both celebration and sorrow for the family.
One poignant caption accompanying photos of Kelly with her dad read: "Happy birthday I miss you daddy! I love you more than life itself!" The raw sentiment offered a glimpse into the family's ongoing grief following the music icon's passing.
A Family Celebration and a Notable Absence
The Osbourne family gathered in Birmingham for a significant day of remembrance. The city planned to honour its native son with one of its highest civic accolades.
The family is set to receive a posthumous Lord Mayor's Award for Ozzy Osbourne, recognising his outstanding contribution to Birmingham's cultural and musical identity. Born in Aston, Ozzy's global fame remained deeply tied to his roots in the city.
However, the occasion was bittersweet due to one family member's absence. Kelly's younger brother, Jack Osbourne, 40, is currently a contestant on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in the Australian jungle.
As one of the last remaining celebrities, he cannot leave the show and is cut off from all communication, meaning he missed both the birthday commemorations and the award ceremony.
Kelly's Message to Her Brother
Kelly openly expressed how difficult it was to mark the day without Jack. On her Instagram story, she shared a childhood photo of the pair with a candid message.
"I can't lie, today is really hard without my brother," she wrote. "I would give anything to just be able to talk to him! However he needs to keep kicking b*** in the jungle!"
With contestants barred from phones or any home comforts, Sharon and Kelly had no way to contact Jack on this emotional day. The next time the family will see or speak to him will be when he is either voted off the show or crowned King of the Jungle.
The day in Birmingham was a powerful mix of civic pride and personal loss, as the city officially recognised Ozzy Osbourne's legacy while his children navigated the complex emotions of his birthday without their father, and in part, without each other.
