Kelly Osbourne has paid an emotional tribute to her late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, as she marks the first Father's Day since his passing. The 41-year-old television personality took to social media on Sunday to share her grief and honor the memory of the Black Sabbath frontman, who died in July 2025 at the age of 76 .

The reality star posted a carousel of throwback photographs on Instagram, capturing precious moments with her father over the years. In the accompanying caption, she penned a deeply personal message about the enduring pain of losing a parent and the profound love that continues to shape her daily life .

"Dad, I still find myself looking for you in ordinary moments – the advice I need, the joke I want to tell, the victory I wish you could see," Osbourne wrote in her tribute . She continued with words that resonated with thousands of followers, expressing that the ache of missing him is "the price of loving you, and I would pay it forever rather than have never been your child at all" .

The emotional post concluded with a heartfelt promise: "I will never stop missing you. It is an honor to spend the rest of my life loving you. Until we meet again!" .

Beyond the main Instagram post, Osbourne also shared a more intimate glimpse into her relationship with her father through her Instagram Stories. She posted a screenshot of a text message Ozzy had sent her before his death, offering a rare and touching look at their private correspondence .

In the message, the rock icon revealed how a video of Osbourne's young son Sidney brought him comfort during difficult moments. "Ya know what, whenever I'm feeling sick and miserable all I have to do is watch the video you sent of little Sid in the bath and it makes me so happy that it all just goes away," Ozzy wrote .

The text also conveyed the musician's longing to be closer to his daughter and grandson. "I just wish you were both still here. I really love the both of you and all I want is for the two of you to be happy," he added . In the same exchange, Ozzy mentioned stepping back from music commitments, citing that he needed his health more than professional obligations .

Osbourne welcomed her son Sidney in 2022 with partner Sid Wilson, a member of the band Slipknot . The loss of her father means he never had the chance to see his grandson grow up, a reality that has weighed heavily on the grieving daughter.

In the weeks leading up to Father's Day, Osbourne spoke about her grief journey, acknowledging that the pain of losing her father has fundamentally changed her. She told media outlets that she is "getting a little bit better every day" but admitted that "the pain will never go away, and I'll never be the person I was before he died again" .

Earlier this year, Osbourne opened up further about her emotional state following her father's death. In a candid social media post, she described grief as something that "doesn't end" but instead "changes shape" and becomes a permanent part of one's existence .

"It becomes the quiet weight you learn to carry, the ache woven into your days," she wrote. Osbourne emphasized that survival through grief is not about conquering the loss but about enduring it, even when one feels shattered by the weight of it .

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, at his home in Buckinghamshire, England, surrounded by family members including his wife Sharon and daughters Aimee and Kelly . The legendary musician had been battling Parkinson's disease since his diagnosis in 2020, and his health had declined significantly in his final years .

Just weeks before his death, Osbourne had performed a farewell concert at Villa Park on July 5, 2025, pushing through his physical limitations to deliver one last performance for his devoted fans . He had been determined to make it to the show, telling SiriusXM, "By hook or by crook. I've got to make it there," as he worked tirelessly with a trainer to regain his strength .

His death was attributed to a massive heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease listed as contributing factors . The music icon's passing marked the end of an era for rock enthusiasts worldwide, who had followed his decades-long career from his early days with Black Sabbath through his successful solo work .

Throughout her grief, Kelly Osbourne has been transparent about the challenges of processing such a monumental loss while balancing her responsibilities as a mother and public figure. The father-daughter bond she shared with Ozzy was well-documented throughout her years in the spotlight, from their family's reality television fame to their individual career pursuits .

The family has reportedly planned special activities to honor the rock legend over the Father's Day weekend, with Kelly and her brother Louis making arrangements to celebrate their father's memory . The Osbourne family continues to navigate life without its patriarch while keeping his legacy alive through their shared memories and ongoing tribute posts that have touched fans around the world .
