Kelly Osbourne Delivers Blunt Response to Claims Dad Ozzy is ‘Dying’: “He’s Far from Finished”
In an era where celebrity gossip spreads like wildfire, Kelly Osbourne is not holding back. The television personality and daughter of heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has delivered a fiery, no-nonsense response to growing rumors that her father is on his deathbed — and she’s setting the record straight with force.
In recent weeks, social media and tabloids have been swirling with unverified claims that Ozzy Osbourne, 76, is in rapid physical decline, prompting widespread concern among fans. Some headlines even claimed the “Prince of Darkness” was “preparing for the end.” But Kelly isn’t having it — and she’s making it known.
“People Love to Bury You Before You’re Gone”
Taking to Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), Kelly slammed the rumors in a post that quickly went viral.
“Let me make this as clear as I can: My dad is NOT dying. He’s not on his ‘last breath,’ he’s not being ‘kept alive by machines,’ and he’s not ‘saying his final goodbyes.’ People need to stop spreading lies and clickbait. It’s cruel and disgusting,” she wrote.
“Yes, he’s had health issues. Yes, he’s getting older. But guess what? He’s still here, still sharp, still laughing — and still pissing off my mum every day. He’s far from finished.”
The post was accompanied by a recent video clip of Ozzy playfully joking with his grandchildren at a family gathering, waving to the camera with his signature grin, and showing far more vitality than the dire rumors would suggest.
Health Struggles — But Not Defeat
Ozzy Osbourne’s health has indeed been a subject of public concern in recent years. Following a series of back surgeries, a Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020, and complications from a fall in 2019, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman has endured a difficult road. He was forced to cancel several tour dates and step back from live performances, prompting speculation about his long-term prognosis.
However, in recent interviews and family updates, Ozzy himself has remained candid but optimistic about his condition. In a BBC radio interview earlier this year, he said:
“I’ve been through hell, but I’m still fighting. I’ve got no plans to check out yet. I still want to make music. I still want to live.”
Kelly echoed that sentiment in her recent clapback, reminding fans and critics that her father is a fighter by nature.
“My dad isn’t the kind of man who goes quietly. He’s been fighting for decades — for his career, his health, and his life. He’s overcome addiction, accidents, surgeries, and critics. If you think a few health problems are going to stop him, you clearly don’t know who Ozzy Osbourne is.”
Support From the Osbourne Family
Kelly’s statement was met with support from fans and fellow celebrities alike. Her brother Jack Osbourne reposted her comments, adding: “Preach it, Kel. People love to talk trash with zero facts.”
Even Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife of over 40 years, weighed in during a recent episode of her podcast:
“This is what we’ve dealt with for decades. People want to write him off every time he sneezes. He’s not dying — he’s living. Is he 25 years old? No. But neither are any of us. Stop trying to bury a man who still has more energy than most people half his age.”
A Legend Still Standing
Ozzy Osbourne, despite physical limitations, continues to work on music and is reportedly collaborating on a new studio album. While large-scale touring is no longer in the cards, he has expressed interest in select performances and special appearances. Sources close to the family also say a major tribute event is in the works to honor his career — one he plans to attend, not watch from a hospital bed.
In her final note on the subject, Kelly issued a message to those who continue to profit off her father’s condition:
“To the media vultures feeding off pain and fear — do better. And to the fans who actually care: thank you. He sees you, he hears you, and he loves you. The Prince of Darkness isn’t done yet. Not even close.”
Final Word
For those who thought they could write Ozzy Osbourne’s final chapter — Kelly Osbourne has news for you: the story isn’t over. Not by a long shot. And if there’s one family that knows how to silence the noise and defy the odds, it’s the Osbournes.
The bat-biting, stage-destroying, genre-defining icon may be bruised, but he’s far from broken. And thanks to a daughter who doesn’t mince words, the world knows it.
