Kelly Osbourne describes grief as a 'quiet weight' - seven months after dad Ozzy Osbourne's death
Kelly Osbourne has described grief as the "quiet weight you learn to carry" - seven months after her dad, Ozzy Osbourne, died.
Kelly Osbourne says grief is a "quiet weight you learn to carry".
The 41-year-old TV personality's dad, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, died of a heart attack aged 76 in July 2025.
Kelly took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday (21.02.26) and penned over a black background: "Some grief doesn't end. It changes shape. It becomes the quiet weight you learn to carry, the ache woven into your days.
"Making it through doesn't mean leaving it behind. It means finding the strength to live and love and keep going even with forever resting in your heart.
"When grief feels endless and disastrous, like it's unmaking you from the inside out, surviving isn't about conquering it. It's about enduring it.
"It's about standing in the wreckage of your own heart and whispering, 'I am still here,' even when every part of you feels shattered and like you don't want to be here! (sic)"
In September 2025, Kelly said falconry has helped her to cope with the grief of losing Ozzy - who had a series of health problems and was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2019.
She wrote on Instagram: "In all my sadness and grief I have found something that truly makes me happy! I never thought I would find my smile again through falconry but I did. I absolutely love being with the birds. (sic)"
Kelly's post also featured a series of photos and videos of herself with the birds.
In one of the video posts, Kelly tells an owl: "You are great!"
And fan support has also helped the singer and her family - including sister Aimee Osbourne, 42, brother Jack Osbourne, 40, and 73-year-old mom Sharon Osbourne - navigate the heartbreak.
In August 2025, Kelly typed on the social media platform: "I’ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don’t know if the words will ever feel like enough … but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
"The love, support and beautiful messages I’ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life.
"Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain. (sic)"
The Osbournes star said grief "sneaks up on you in waves".
Kelly added: "Grief is a strange thing. It sneaks up on you in waves - I will not be OK for a while - but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference.
"I’m holding on tight to the love, the light and the legacy left behind."
