Kelly Osbourne Pens Heart-Wrenching Letter on Parents' Anniversary

Ozzy Osbourne’s Son Jack Osbourne Defends Plans to Create AI Avatar of Late Rocker

Kelly Osbourne is reflecting on the many recent changes in her family.

The 41-year-old penned an open letter to Sharon Osbourne on what would have been her mom's her 46th wedding anniversary with late husband Ozzy Osbourne, who died July 22, 2025 at the age of 76.

"Today feels different," Kelly wrote on Instagram July 4. "A day that was once filled with celebration now carries a quiet ache. This is your first wedding anniversary without Daddy by your side, and I can only imagine how heavy your heart must feel. There are some dates that remind us just how deeply we have loved, and today is one of them."

Married since 1980, Sharon and Ozzy shared an unbreakable bond until his passing last year.

"I hope you know that love like yours doesn’t end when a life does," Kelly continued. "It changes shape. It becomes the warmth of the sun on your face when you need comfort, the memories that make you smile through tears, the quiet moments when you somehow know he’s near. Daddy may no longer walk beside you, but he will never stop walking with you."

Kelly shared that she often imagines the Black Sabbath frontman looking down on Sharon from Heaven "with that magical smile the one that held so much pride and so much love."

"I know he would want you to see yourself through his eyes: resilient, compassionate, courageous, and endlessly loving," the former Fashion Police cohost added. "Every day since he left, you’ve had to learn how to carry both grief and hope in the same heart, and somehow, you’ve continued to do it with extraordinary grace. He would be so incredibly proud of the woman you are becoming."

Kelly—mom to 3-year-old son Sidney with ex Sid Wilson—also noted Ozzy's kids——including Aimee Osbourne, 42, and Jack Osbourne, 40, with Sharon, as well as Louis Osbourne, Jessica Osbourne and Elliot Osbourne with ex-wife Thelma Riley—continue "to grow because of the love you both created."

"Sidney and I love you more than words could ever hold," she wrote. "He may not fully understand today, but he already knows what it feels like to be wrapped in your love."

Kelly concluded her heart-wrenching letter by noting that, as Sharon faces more milestones and holidays without Ozzy by her side, her family will be there with support every step of the way.

"We will hold your hand when the days are too heavy," Kelly wrote, "celebrate your victories, sit with you in your sadness and remind you whenever you need reminding that love is still all around you."
