Kelly Osbourne is sharing the conversation she had with her father Ozzy Osbourne three days before his death on July 22nd, 2025, at his home in Buckinghamshire, England. During a two-hour appearance on the We Need to Talk podcast with host Paul C. Brunson, Kelly said Ozzy sat her down and told her:“No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing that there was one man on this planet that truly loved you, that truly loved you for every single thing you are. And that man is me.”She started to cry and begged him not to talk that way, but he told her he would not be around forever and that he loved her more than anyone. Three days later, he was gone.
The interview went far beyond that moment. Kelly opened up about her grief, her weight loss journey, her strained relationship with her sister Aimee, and what it was really like growing up on The Osbournes. But it was her reflection on identity after loss that has resonated most:“The girl that I was before my father passed is dead. That girl will never come back.”She described losing not just a parent, but her best friend.
For fans who grew up watching Ozzy as the Prince of Darkness, this is a different side of the story. Behind the bat-biting rock icon was a father making sure his daughter knew exactly how loved she was, in his own words, before he left. What’s the one thing you’d want to say to someone you love while you still can?
