• Kelly Osbourne quoted Black Sabbath’s “Changes” in her emotional tribute to Ozzy.
• The father-daughter duo’s 2003 version of the song redefined their relationship.
• Ozzy died on July 22 2025 weeks after his final concert and Kelly’s engagement.

The music world mourns the loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away at 76 on July 22, 2025, surrounded by family.

Recently, Kelly Osbourne has shared an emotional tribute, quoting lines from their famous duet “Changes,” a song that once represented their special connection and now mirrors her sorrow.

Kelly’s Emotional Tribute: A Daughter’s Grief

In her first public statement since Ozzy’s death, Kelly shared a poignant message on Instagram:

“I feel unhappy. I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had.”

The lyrics, originally from Black Sabbath’s 1972 ballad, hold significant personal value. In 2003, Kelly and Ozzy created a new version of “Changes” with altered lyrics, turning it into a song of family bond rather than heartbreak. This track reached number one in the UK charts, making them the second father-daughter pair (after Frank and Nancy Sinatra) to accomplish this honor.

Her heartfelt post on a plain black background captures the intense pain of losing a parent—someone who was more than a rock legend, but her trusted confidant. Just two days before he passed, Kelly had posted a touching video of Ozzy during breakfast, warmly greeting the camera with “Good morning!”, a cheerful memory now forever cherished.

The Final Days: A Family’s Farewell

Ozzy’s death came weeks after his final Black Sabbath performance in Birmingham, where Kelly got engaged to her longtime partner, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson. In a bittersweet twist, Ozzy witnessed the proposal backstage, jokingly protesting,

“F**k off, you’re not marrying my daughter!”

before the couple embraced.

Despite his declining health, Parkinson’s disease and mobility struggles from a 2019 spinal injury, Ozzy remained defiant against rumors of his imminent death. Kelly had recently slammed AI-generated videos falsely depicting him saying, “I know I’m going to die,” calling them “disgusting” and clarifying, “He’s not dying. What is wrong with you?”.

Tributes Pour In: From Elton John to Fans Worldwide

The Osbourne family’s official statement emphasized Ozzy’s peaceful passing:

“He was with his family and surrounded by love.”

Celebrities like Elton John honored the “Prince of Darkness,” writing:

“So sad to hear the news… a true legend. I will miss him dearly.”

Meanwhile, Jack Osbourne’s ex-wife, Lisa Stelly, shared a touching tribute to Ozzy as a grandfather:

“The world got Ozzy. We got Papa.”
