Kelly mourns death of dad Ozzy
The past year has been an emotional one for Kelly. In July, her late father, Ozzy Osbourme, died from a heart attack due to underlying coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
In October, Kelly paid tribute to Ozzy on what would have been his 77th birthday.
“Tomorrow is going to be a first for me. The first birthday without my dad. Every year the thing I look forwarded to the most was spending the day with him and the cards he would write me. Knowing that I will never get one again shatters my heart,” she wrote on Instagram.
“I love you Daddy tomorrow will suck without you,” Kelly continued, adding the heartbroken emoji.
