Without music legend patriarch Ozzy, who passed away in July at the age of 76, just days after his farewell performance, The Orbournes are gearing up for their first Christmas season.
Kelly Osbourne has shared an emotional update as she faces her first Christmas without her father, Ozzy. Rock legend Ozzy passed away earlier in July at the age of 76.
The Black Sabbath singer passed away shortly after giving a fitting farewell show in Birmingham. He leaves behind his 73-year-old wife Sharon Osbourne, 42, her three children, Aimee, 42, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40.
Taking to social media this week, Kelly shared a heartbreaking video of her late father organising a huge string of fairy lights. Posting the footage on Instagram, the model and presenter shared her pain over the fact she is facing her first Christmas without her father.

She stated, “We are supposed to be putting up the Christmas tree today!” It won’t stay that way forever. Along with the video, she added an emoji for crying faces.
Kelly and Sharon’s first public appearance following Ozzy’s passing resulted in her note. The mother and daughter were present at Rebecca Vallance’s Cavendish Square event.
She captioned the Instagram launch event as “Had the best time with my mother and @rebeccavallancegasan.” It’s the first time I’ve ever wore one like it.
It “made my bubblegum pink dreams come true by pushing me out of my comfort zone of black.” I’m always awestruck by her outfits. It was wonderful to see my mother having a little fun because I thought she looked gorgeous! Rebecca, we sincerely appreciate your love.
Meanwhile, Jack has been in Australia competing on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! While in the jungle, he has become emotional reflecting on the death of his father.
He was moved to tears when co-star Eddie Kadi enquired about the Iron Man singer – leaving Jack struggling to find words.
Eddie apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to bring it out like that.” What about your pops do you miss the most from your experiences that I haven’t?
Jack fought through tears to respond, “It was just his energy.” It was difficult to describe how strong he was. But he was so enthusiastic.
He seemed to have thrown the galaxy into the mix without knowing what to do with it. The only way to describe it is in this example.
Eddie remarked, “Your dad did more than enough to consolate you,” chuckling Jack.
Following Jack’s earlier on Good Morning America interview about seeing his father perform at the farewell concert earlier in the year, the emotional scenes emerged. He expressed his regret by remarking, “I ran back into the dressing room and just gave him a big hug.”
I gave him a quick kiss. I simply said, “Crush it,” and I was right. You’re going to do it very well. I was crying as well. He continued, “It wasn’t because I had compassion for him.” We weren’t sad for him, so why?
And he continued, “I believe it was because we already knew it was the last time.” If you consider it in context, it kind of seemed like a living wake. He had to bid everyone adieu.
Ozzy had suffered from other health issues as well as Parkinson’s disease before passing away. He reportedly struggled with mobility after falling, which reportedly made for an old spinal injury from a quad bike accident in 2003.
