Kelly Osbourne furiously reacts to ‘dirtbag’ WWE star who made ‘disrespectful’ Ozzy Osbourne joke
Kelly hit back at the comment made by WWE star, Becky Lynch
Kelly Osbourne has hit back at WWE star Becky Lynch after she made a joke about her father, the late Ozzy Osbourne, in his hometown.
The Black Sabbath frontman passed away last month at age 76. He had previously been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019.
Following Ozzy's death, the Osbournes - as well as thousands of Ozzy fans - gathered to pay tribute to the singer in his hometown of Birmingham.
As the family continue to navigate their grief, Kelly could be seen reacting to a joke made by Lynch during WWE's Monday Night Raw which was held at BP Pulse Live in Birmingham.

Lynch made the comment after Nikki Bella challenged her to fight.
“I am not wrestling in Birmingham,” she said.
“The only good thing that came out of here died a month ago.”
She then added: “But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to LA, a proper city. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I’d die too.”
After Ozzy's daughter, Kelly caught wind of the comments, it was clear she found them pretty offensive.
Responding on her Instagram Stories, she said: “You are a disrespectful dirt bag! Birmingham would not p**s on you if you were on fire.
“Shame on the @wwe for allowing such things to be said about my father and his home!!!!”
Ozzy fans were also horrified, with one writing on social media: "Absolutely disgusting, everyone involved should be ashamed."
While another said: "The way my jaw dropped."
And a third added: "Becky was foul for this I’m a fan of her but Nah she was wrong for this it’s not only too soon but it’s disrespectful."
Meanwhile a fourth commented: "Kelly has every right to fuming shouldn't of mentioned ozzy just to get a cheap reaction."
Tyla has reached out to WWE and Lynch's reps for comment.
Earlier this month, a death certificate indicated the singer's cause of death.
Ozzy's death certificate lists 'acute myocardial infarction' and 'out of hospital cardiac arrest' as the cause of death, according to The Sun.
Acute myocardial infarction is also known as a heart attack. It occurs when blood flow to the heart is suddenly blocked.
It has also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction as 'joint causes'.
According to The New York Times, Osbournes' occupation was also listed as 'songwriter, performer and rock legend'.
