Kelly Osbourne shares Ozzy’s heartbreaking final words to her

Kelly Osbourne has revealed the emotional last conversation she had with her late father, Ozzy, three days before he died.

The Black Sabbath frontman died aged 76 on July 22, 2025, with his cause of death later revealed as cardiac arrest, while he also suffered from coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.

He left behind his wife of 43 years, Sharon, and their children, Aimee, 42, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40.

Now, more than a year on from his passing, Kelly, who’s been candid about how much she’s struggled since her dad’s death, recalled the last thing they spoke about.

She made the admission during her appearance on Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast on Tuesday (15 September).

Kelly recalled: “He sat me down; this was about three days before he died, he sat me down and said, 'Tots, I need you to know something... No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing that there was one man on this planet that truly loved you, that truly loved you for every single thing you are. And that man is me."

She continued: "And I started to cry, saying ‘please don’t talk like this’ because he said ‘you know, I’m not going to be here forever and I know you struggle with people and believing you are loved. But I love you more than anyone.’

"Three days later, he was gone."

Kelly emotionally reassured viewers that her dad was ‘the happiest you’ve ever seen him’ leading up to his death, especially after his Black Sabbath farewell gig at Villa Park.

On 5 July 2025, just weeks before Ozzy’s death, the legendary rock band played their last ever gig titled ‘Back to the Beginning’.

Kelly gushed: "It was one of the most incredible moments in music history. It outlives Woodstock because it was all the people that got to be who they are because of him come pay tribute to him.

"And he got to say goodbye, and he got to say thank you. That’s all he wanted to do. And then he let go. Two weeks after."

She revealed that Ozzy had been told that, due to his health issues, going ahead with the gig would kill him, but he chose to do it anyway because ‘it meant more to him than anything’.

“He was suffering so much,” she said. “His day-to-day life was insufferable; nobody should have to live like that. To be in so much pain and be unable to walk, and your mind is there, but your body just doesn’t work."

Kelly explained: "My mum allowed him to die the happiest you’ve ever seen him. All he wanted before leaving this planet was one last show one more time.

“To be able to let his fans know how grateful he was for the life they allowed him to have and how much he loved them and to say goodbye.

“And my mum worked her arse off to make that happen.”
