    Kelly Osbourne is "not" fine after the death of her dad Ozzy

    The 41-year-old star - whose late father died aged 76 in July 2025 - appeared with her partner Sid Wilson at the Grammy Awards on Sunday (01.02.26) and revealed while she has been "okay", dealing with the death of the Black Sabbath legend has been the "hardest thing" she's ever had to deal with.


    She told PEOPLE magazine: "I won't lie. I won't be one of those people that say I'm fine because I'm not.

    "That's the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life.

    "But I have my man, and I have my gorgeous baby, and my mom and my brother and I so bonded. I didn't think we could ever get more bonded, but we did.

    "And my father was one of the greatest men to ever live [on] the planet. And to show I don't have enough gratitude to the Grammys for what they're doing tonight. You know, it's a really beautiful thing."

    During the official Grammys red carpet live stream, she added: "People usually say, 'I'm great.' [But] I'm not doing so great."

    Kelly revealed there are several ways she keeps the memory of Ozzy alive.

    She told PEOPLE: "There's so many things that we do that we always keep a seat at the table for him.

    "I light a candle every day. For him, I wear a locket. It's under my dress, you can't see it, but it has his picture in it, and my baby opens it every day and gives it a kiss and says hi to Papa.

    "And every time I see the clock at 11:11, I know that's him talking to me."

    Ozzy was honoured at the ceremony with a special performance by Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan and Chad Smith.

    Speaking before the ceremony, she said: "You know, it's just such a beautiful thing that his peers are showing their love and respect for his work tonight, and it's going to be an emotional experience for us."

    During the ceremony, Yungblud was honoured at the non-televised premiere ceremony on Sunday (01.02.26) for his cover of Changes at Black Sabbath's farewell concert at Villa Park last July - just weeks before the rock icon passed away - as he won the Best Rock Performance Gong.

    He was joined on stage by a tearful Sharon Osbourne, and said during his acceptance speech: "The last time I saw Ozzy Osbourne, you asked me if there was anything you could do for me. I answered the music was enough. And I can safely say on behalf of all of us, that still stands now and it will do forever. You'll be with me every time I'm nervous, and on stage at every show.

    "God bless rock music, and god bless f****** Ozzy Osbourne!"
