Kelly Osbourne fumed over sick Ozzy death hoax days before his passing

“What the f**k is wrong with you people?” Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Kelly hit back at a cruel online hoax just days before his death.

Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne was the victim of a cruel death hoax that circulated online just days before his actual death at the age of 76.

Osbourne’s daughter Kelly issued an emotional public statement on July 13 after seeing what she reported as a fake AI video, showing her father claiming he was “going to die.”

“It has a voice like my dad’s David Attenborough or something. And it starts out saying, ‘I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die,’” Kelly said via her Instagram Stories earlier this month.

“What the f**k is wrong with you people?” Kelly asked. “Why would you spend your time making a video like this?”

Osbourne, 40, insisted that her father was “not dying,” adding, “Yes, he has Parkinson’s, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be, but he’s not dying.”

“What is wrong with you?”

At the same time, Kelly also refuted a statement her mother Sharon had previously made publicly, claiming that she and her husband had made a “suicide pact” to pass away together if their health issues became too much.

“That was bulls**t my mum said to get attention one time,” Kelly insisted.

Sharon had made the comments on the family’s The Osbournes Podcast in October 2022, claiming she and her husband had made plans to travel to Switzerland and die together using the services of Dignitas, a physician-assisted end-of-life organisation.

“[We] have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains,” she said at the time. “If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it — we’d be off.”

Osbourne’s death comes barely a fortnight after he played what had been billed as his “final show” with his Black Sabbath bandmates back on July 5.

In a statement issued today, the Osbourne family said he died “surrounded by love”.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” the statement read.

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

It was signed: “Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

Black Sabbath also paid tribute to their late lead singer on Instagram after the news broke, writing alongside an image of him onstage: “Ozzy Forever.”

Ozzy’s daughter Kelly was involved in one sweet moment at his final show: She got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson backstage as her father watched on.

In footage that quickly went viral, Wilson got down on one knee to pop the question to a visibly shocked Kelly, as Ozzy watched from a seat next to the couple.
