Kelly Osbourne has marked the first anniversary of her father Ozzy Osbourne's death with an Instagram post describing the "endless ache" of grief, saying she mourns not only the father she lost but "the soul I was before death taught my heart its own name". The rock legend died on 22 July 2025, aged 76, just 17 days after his final live performance with Black Sabbath at Birmingham's Villa Park, and his death certificate cited a heart attack alongside coronary heart disease and Parkinson's disease. Her reflections coincide with the first-ever official "Ozzy Day" in Birmingham, underlining the lasting public and family impact of his death a year on.

In the post, titled "What I've come to know about grief in the last year!", Kelly wrote that grief "divides your life into two people" and leaves survivors "living as ghosts of the people we used to be". Birmingham is marking the anniversary with a free city-centre programme of music and tributes, while her brother Jack has asked fans to share Ozzy stories throughout the day; the family previously accepted his posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the BRITs 2026 and marked what would have been his 77th birthday with the Birmingham Lord Mayor's Award.
