She wrote: “Dad, I still find myself looking for you in ordinary moments, the advice I need, the joke I want to tell, the victory I wish you could see.”

Kelly then added: “The ache of missing you is the price of loving you, and I would pay it forever rather than have never been your child at all!”

Kelly went on to emotionally pen: “I will never stop missing you. It is an honour to spend the rest of my life loving you.

“Until we meet again!”

Kelly and Ozzy Osbourne shared a bond fans never forgot

Fans knew their close relationship for years. They saw flashes of it in public, but this tribute felt far more intimate.

Kelly shared a screenshot of one of Ozzy’s final texts. The message centred on her son Sidney, whom she welcomed in 2022 with Slipknot star Sid Wilson.

Ozzy wrote: “Ya know what, whenever I’m feeling sick and miserable all I have to do is watch the video you sent of little Sid in the bath and it make me so happy that it all just go away.”
