Kelly Osbourne is remembering her father and rock legend Ozzy Osbourne on his first death anniversary.
The 41-year-old TV star took to her Instagram handle on Tuesday to share her grief journey nearly one year after her dad’s death.
“I don’t just mourn the father I lost. I mourn the soul I was before death taught my heart its own name,” Kelly began the lengthy note.
She further penned, “There is a grief that steals more than the person you love. It quietly takes the light from your laughter, the innocence from your hope and the stranger you become is someone you’ll spend a lifetime trying to recognize.”
“People think grief is missing someone who is gone, but the deepest sorrow is waking each day longing for the version of yourself who died with them,” continued Kelly. “Grief is a language no-one truly speaks until life forces it upon them. It cannot be explained, borrowed or imagined.”
“You only understand its endless ache when you’ve stood in the unbearable silence, carrying a love that has nowhere left to go,” the singer added. “Some losses don’t simply break you. They divide your life into two people. The one you were before and the one left behind.”
Concluding the emotional note, Kelly wrote, “Not that death takes the ones we love but that it leaves us living as ghosts of the people we used to be.”
For those unversed, Ozzy passed away on July 22, 2025, after losing a battle with Parkinson’s disease.
