Grieving Kelly Osbourne has shared the vile abuse she has received from a cruel troll following the death of her beloved dad Ozzy in July
Kelly Osbourne has revealed she’s received vile abuse from online trolls about her late dad Ozzy, who passed away at the age of 76 earlier this year.
The grieving 41-year-old took to Instagram to share the horrible messages she had received from one particular fan called Ryan who lives in New Mexico. One branded the Black Sabbath legend “an untalented stupid useless little b**** who will never be missed”. Another cruelly said “it was a party” the day that Ozzy died on July 22.
He also spoke about getting his money back after attending an Ozzy concert calling it the “biggest waist [sic] of money”. Another vile message said: “I’m glad your dad was a thing. He was a picture perfect example of what not to be and a shining example of the expression. Piece of s***. May he rest in s***for all of eternity.”
A shocked Kelly reposted the messages to her Instagram stories and told her 4 million followers: “This man is insane. I will let you guys handle him! He obviously needs some attention.” She went on to post a shot of the troll’s social media profile as she wrote: “The internet is a wild place Ryan from Mexico.” She then shared the profile of the man’s wife-to-be, a woman called Meghan, and warned: “His future wife deserves to know what she is marrying!”

The Osbourne family, including Kelly, her mum Sharon, 73, sister Aimee, 42, and brother Jack, 40, are still coming to terms with the loss of Ozzy, who died 17 days after performing a farewell concert with his Black Sabbath bandmates in his beloved hometown of Birmingham called Back to the Beginning.
Other bands, such as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses and Slayer, also took to the stage for the benefit gig which is said to have earned millions for charity. While there were special performances from special guests like Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood and Aerosmith frontman Steve Tyler.
In a sweet last moment with her father, Kelly got engaged backstage at the gig after her partner Sid Wilson, 48, of metal band Slipknot, popped the question in front of her parents. The couple, who were friends for years before they got together in early 2022, share a three-year-old son called Sidney.
Posting the heartwarming clip on social media, Kelly wrote: “Oh, and this happened yesterday.” In the video, mum Sharon is heard saying: “We’ve got to be quiet, hold on,” as she shushed the crew backstage at show. Kelly’s now fiancé is then heard saying: “Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world.”
But Sid’s romantic proposal was swiftly interrupted by a playful Ozzy who shouted: “F*** off! You’re not marrying my daughter.” Clearly familiar with Ozzy’s banter, Sid laughed and continued asking Kelly the all-important question.
He said: “Nothing would make me happier than spending the rest of my life with you. So, in front of your family and all of our friends, Kelly, will you marry me?”. Kelly then turns around with a look of shock on her face before nodding ‘yes’.
The video then sees Sid -who has known Kelly for more than 20 years – show the dazzling ring to Ozzy before one of Kelly’s friends yells ‘about time’. Kelly and Sid then shared a long embrace while their loved ones cheered them on in the background.
While Ozzy may not be with us anymore, fans are about to see more of another Osbourne as his son Jack enters the jungle when the new series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off this weekend. The dad-of-four opened up about the death of his rock icon dad before heading Down Under.
Posting a pic of himself in his jungle attire to Instagram, Jack wrote: “Hey folks! Well, I was told to keep this a secret but the cat’s out of the bag now.
“I’m headed into the jungle for a few weeks. Why you might ask? I guess I’m just a sucker for punishment hahaha. My team will be managing my social media while I’m away, so don’t worry, they will be keeping you all updated.”
The star said he had the backing of his family to appear on the show and that they would be tuning in back home. He said: “Mum and Kelly, yeah they are absolutely going to be watching. They are supportive.”
He admitted he will miss them terribly, alongside his wife and family, not least as he won’t be able to call them, adding: “It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind. I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still in the wake of my dad passing. It is going to be difficult, that is for sure.
“It’s not the longest amount of time I’ve been away from them. I’ve gone on different trips filming [TV show] Adrenaline Junkie for nearly two months without a phone, but I still had access to one and I was able to make calls home. It’s going to be very difficult not speaking to my wife and kids. But yes, I do hope I can make my family proud.”
