Kelly Osbourne shared a deeply emotional Father's Day tribute to her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, revealing the heartbreak of navigating life without the legendary Black Sabbath frontman.

The 41-year-old television personality took to Instagram on Sunday to honour the rock icon, who died in July 2025 aged 76, posting a series of treasured throwback photographs alongside a moving message about grief and love.

"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 wrote.

"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!

"I will never stop missing you. It is an honor to spend the rest of my life loving you. Until we meet again!"

The heartfelt tribute offered a rare glimpse into Kelly's enduring bond with her father, who remained one of the most influential figures in her life despite his ongoing health struggles in his later years.

Adding to the emotion, Kelly also shared a screenshot of one of the final text messages she received from Ozzy before his death.

In the message, the musician spoke lovingly about Kelly's son Sidney, whom she welcomed in 2022 with Slipknot star Sid Wilson.

"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," Ozzy wrote.
