Kelly Osbourne stood with her mother Sharon, and siblings Aimee and Jack, fighting back tears as they said their emotional goodbyes to rock legend Ozzy Osbourne at his funeral procession in Birmingham on July 30, 2025. The heavy metal icon’s departure left his family, fans, and friends devastated, with his legacy forever etched in the hearts of many. As the procession moved through the streets of Ozzy’s hometown, Kelly Osbourne spoke out for the first time about a secret involving her father that stunned everyone.

The procession was a somber yet celebratory tribute to Ozzy’s life and contributions, with the Osbourne family supported by thousands of fans lining the streets. Sharon Osbourne, visibly emotional, held back tears while flashing a peace sign to the crowd—a powerful, symbolic gesture that carried deep meaning. Kelly Osbourne, too, struggled to contain her emotions, finding herself at a loss for words as she remembered her father. But it wasn’t just the farewell that overwhelmed her—it was the chance to reveal a side of her father that many had never known.

Kelly Breaks Silence: A Secret That Left Everyone Stunned

As the procession moved forward, Kelly took a moment to break her silence in front of the gathered mourners. Through her tears, Kelly shared a shocking secret about her father, one that had never before been revealed to the public. She opened up about the complexities of Ozzy’s health and how his health struggles were kept from the public eye for so long.

“I just want everyone to know that he’s not dying,” Kelly said, her voice breaking but resolute. “People have been saying so many things, but they don’t know the real story. He’s been fighting, and he’s been strong.” Her words were a moment of clarity amid the confusion, and they echoed the family’s desire for privacy during Ozzy’s final years.

Kelly revealed that Ozzy, despite his public struggles with his health—particularly his battle with Parkinson’s disease—had been more resilient than anyone had given him credit for. While the public had been uncertain about his condition, especially following his farewell performance just weeks before his passing, Kelly emphasized that her father had never fully given up, even when faced with the physical challenges that plagued him.

A Hidden Battle: Ozzy’s Resilience and Strength

The revelation that Kelly made sent shockwaves through the crowd. Many had believed that Ozzy’s health was on a rapid decline, with rumors circulating about his deteriorating condition. But Kelly’s heartfelt words painted a different picture of the man who had spent decades at the forefront of music and rock culture. “He never wanted anyone to pity him. That was just not who he was,” Kelly continued, her emotions pouring through as she shared the truth about her father’s strength and his determination to continue doing what he loved, even in the face of debilitating illness.

Her words were not just a tribute to Ozzy’s physical endurance but also a testament to his mental and emotional resilience. “He wasn’t just my dad; he was my hero,” Kelly said. “And while he’s no longer here with us physically, he’s always going to be a part of me, and a part of everyone he ever touched with his music and his spirit.”

A Powerful Goodbye: Ozzy’s Legacy Lives On

As the funeral procession moved along Broad Street, heading towards the Black Sabbath Bridge, Kelly’s words resonated with those who had gathered to honor her father. The family, still grappling with the loss of a husband and father, stood together in their grief, with Kelly’s words offering a powerful reminder of Ozzy’s lasting impact. The fans in attendance cheered, chanting “Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy” as they waved banners and tributes, acknowledging the rock star who had inspired millions across the world.

Sharon Osbourne, still grieving the loss of her partner of over 40 years, stood by Kelly, visibly supporting her daughter as the family made their way to Black Sabbath Bridge to lay flowers. But in that moment, Kelly had made a revelation that no one had expected, offering a raw and vulnerable insight into her father’s final years, forever changing the public’s perception of Ozzy’s health and strength.

Sharon and Kelly: A Shared Grief

As Sharon Osbourne continued to mourn the loss of her husband, she, too, spoke briefly about her late husband’s unwavering strength, mentioning how Ozzy had always been a fighter. Kelly’s heartfelt message was a poignant reminder of that strength—both Ozzy’s and her own. As the Osbourne family stood together, united in their grief, they also stood firm in their tribute to a man who, despite the difficulties he faced, had never stopped being a rock star and a legend.

A Family’s Legacy: Moving Forward

Despite the loss, Kelly’s message was a hopeful one: “Dad’s music will live on, and so will his spirit,” she said. The moment not only honored Ozzy’s legacy as a musician but also painted a picture of the resilient family that he had left behind. The Osbourne family’s journey of loss, while painful, was also a testament to the love and strength that Ozzy had passed down through his children.

The world had said goodbye to a legend, but in Kelly’s words, it became clear that Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy would live on, not just through his music, but through the family he had so deeply impacted.
