Kelly Osbourne is opening up about one of the hardest years of her life. Her father, Ozzy Osbourne, died in July 2025 at 76, and in a new interview on Paul C. Brunson’s“We Need to Talk”podcast, she revealed that she relapsed on alcohol after his death. She said she was a shell of herself and couldn’t handle the loss. Today, she’s eight months sober, and she’s sharing her recovery alongside her grief.
The moment getting the most attention? Ozzy sat her down three days before he died and told her that no matter what happens, she can live the rest of her life knowing there was one man on this planet who truly loved her for every single thing she is. Then he told her that man was him. Kelly also said she closed her circle after losing friends who expected her to move on too soon.
Ozzy’s final days were nothing short of legendary. Doctors warned him that performing his last Black Sabbath show in Birmingham could kill him. He chose to do it anyway, to thank his fans and say goodbye. He died two weeks later from a heart attack and cardiac arrest. His story is one of love, loss, and going out on your own terms. Have you ever had someone’s words stay with you long after they were gone?
