Kelly Osbourne has revealed how the death of late father, Ozzy, brought the Osbourne family closer together.
Kelly appeared on the Grammys red carpet, where she told Entertainment Tonight (as per Louder Sound) about the strengthened bonds in her family since her father passed away last year.
“We’re closer now than we ever have been. We’re all we have and we’ve experienced the biggest loss we will ever go through. And all we want to do is just live in his legacy,” she said.
Kelly also told Entertainment Tonight about how touched she was that Ozzy’s peers would be paying tribute to him at the Grammys ceremony.
“It is so lovely that his peers in this community that he loved so much are going to be acknowledging his work tonight. It’s just as much about my mum as it is my dad and we’re here to support her through it,” she said.
Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and Post Malone joined forces for an all-star tribute to Ozzy during the ceremony, covering the Black Sabbath classic “War Pigs”.
Kelly previously opened up about her grief following the death of her father, admitting she “will not be OK for a while.”

The television personality and singer shared an emotional message on Instagram Story last year, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support she has received since Ozzy’s passing on July 22nd. The 76-year-old Black Sabbath frontman died at his home, surrounded by family, after battling numerous health issues including Parkinson’s disease.
“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,” Kelly wrote. She acknowledged that the “love, support, and beautiful messages” from fans have helped her through what she described as “the hardest moment of my life.”
Kelly concluded her Instagram message by thanking fans for “being there” and expressing how she’s “holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind.”
