Kelly Osbourne is grieving her dad, but she’s not putting up with nonsense while doing it. On a tribute episode of The Osbournes Podcast released Wednesday, the 39-year-old made it clear that the family is thankful for the love pouring in since Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22. The former Black Sabbath frontman and reality TV icon was 76 when he passed away after a heart attack, with “acute myocardial infarction,” coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction listed as “joint causes.”
Fans around the world have been celebrating Ozzy’s life. That part the Osbournes expected. What they didn’t expect are the strangers claiming they have a direct line to the Prince of Darkness from beyond the grave. Kelly sounded both baffled and fed up as she talked about people insisting they can communicate with her dad.
“We’ve had quite a few nutters coming out of the woodwork,” she said, “saying that they’re speaking to dad from the grave.”
These self-proclaimed mediums aren’t bringing comfort. If anything, they’re the ones making an already heartbreaking time even more frustrating. Kelly didn’t mince words. “That really bothers me,” she said. “I think it’s severely inappropriate.”
You can hear the exhaustion in her voice. It’s the kind that builds when you’re just trying to mourn someone you loved, and strangers decide to treat it like their spooky talent show. Imagine having to scroll through messages from people who swear Ozzy is whispering through them. You’d lose patience too.
Kelly then turned her focus toward something even more unsettling. Someone uploaded Ozzy’s grave site to Google Maps. As if that wasn’t invasive enough, another genius flew a drone over it. Kelly wasn’t having any of it: “Can I just say a special f— you? Whoever f—ing put dad’s grave site on Google Maps, f— you,” she said. “And whoever flew a drone over my dad’s grave, f— you. We didn’t ask for that. We asked you to stay away from it. And you said you did it respectfully. Well, I respectfully say f— you.”
Her brother Jack, now 38, who once starred with the family on The Osbournes Want to Believe, chimed in. He kept it brief but agreed that the drone stunt crossed a line. “Very rude,” he said. Jack did point out something positive: “I think the mainstream media were respectful, and there was no major coverage of it.”
Sharon Osbourne, who was married to Ozzy for 42 years, revealed their security team even talked about shooting down drones. You almost expect her to follow through. After all, Ozzy wasn’t just a rock legend. He was her husband, their dad. His family deserves peace while they mourn.
