Kelly Osbourne is remembering her late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, days after his death.
On Saturday, July 26, Kelly, 40, re-shared a video clip from her late father’s A&E show Jack & Ozzy’s World Detour. “One of the best Ozzy moments ever!” read text shared over the clip, which featured the father-daughter duo dancing together while on a road trip.
“Morning, I got this song in my head I have to play it for you,” Kelly tells her father as he enters their motorhome and before playing “Paradise” by George Ezra.
Kelly then starts to serenade her father, who quickly gets into the spirit and starts dancing in the passenger seat. Not before long, the pair are dancing together.
“I love you,” Kelly tells her dad.
“I love you more,” he responds.
The rock legend’s family confirmed his death on Tuesday, July 22. He was 76.
“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,” they said in a written statement. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
Days later, Kelly broke her silence regarding her father’s death.

“I feel unhappy I am so sad,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, July 24. “I lost the best friend I ever had.”
Just a week prior to her father’s surprising death, Kelly responded to a fan and social media use who claimed she didn’t “understand how Parkinson’s disease works” because she had publicly denied that Ozzy was actively “dying.”
“This is the s*** I wake up to,” Kelly wrote at the time, sharing a screenshot of the DM she received from the fan. “Wtf is wrong with people?”
She continued, “Believe me I fully understand how this works. Your message is incredibly rude. So firstly I want to telly ou to go f*** yourself! He is not in stage 5!! That is not the way his kind of Parkinson’s works.”
Ozzy revealed he was diagnosed with Parkins’s in 2020.

“It’s been terribly challenging for us all,” he said on an appearance of Good Morning America at the time. “I did my last show New Year’s Eve at The Forum. Then I had a bad fall. I had to have surgery on my neck, which screwed all my nerves.”
Of course, it was not Ozzy’s last show – just weeks before his death he gave his final performance with his famed band Black Sabbath at the Back to the Beginning festival in Birmingham, England, on July 5.
More than 45,000 people filled Birmingham’s Villa Park soccer stadium for the special event, with another 5.8 million watching online. According to Billboard, the concert event raised more $190 million, and funds will be distributed equally to Birmingham Children’s Hospital, Acorn Children’s Hospice and Cure Parkinson’s — an organization dedicated to finding a cure for the disease Ozzy had lived with since 2019.
