Kelly Osbourne Discusses Family Estrangement and Shares Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Words

Kelly said Aimee’s estrangement also involves accusations that she tried to change Kelly, made hurtful comments about her and appeared to take pleasure in Kelly’s struggles: “If you’re not gonna accept me for who I am and constantly be trying to change me and say horrible things about me and truly seem to thrive when I’m not doing well, I don’t want you in my life.”
Aimee has previously described the siblings’ relationship as effectively nonexistent, telling The Independent in 2015, “Do we socialise? No.” Kelly had also said in 2021 that the sisters were not speaking because they were “really different.”
Ozzy’s final message to Kelly directly addressed her difficulty believing she was loved: “No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing that there was one man on this planet that truly loved you… And that man is me.” Kelly said she pleaded with him not to speak as though death was imminent.
Kelly said Ozzy was “the happiest you’ve ever seen him” before his death and viewed his final Villa Park performance, the Back to the Beginning concert, as a chance to thank fans and say goodbye.
Aimee was not merely absent from the family reality show: she left the family home at 16 to avoid appearing on MTV’s The Osbournes and later pursued a career in music away from the family’s television fame.
Kelly Osbourne says she and her older sister Aimee remain estranged over years of hurt feelings and unmet expectations. The sisters, who have not spoken since their father Ozzy Osbourne's death in July 2025, represent a rare family fracture in the famous household — Aimee famously left home at 16 to avoid appearing on MTV's The Osbournes and has lived largely outside the family's public eye ever since. The Daily Beast reported that Kelly described their relationship as "polar opposites" with no hope of reconciliation.
Kelly also shared that Ozzy delivered a deeply personal message three days before his death at age 76, directly addressing her struggle to feel loved. "No matter what happens in this life, you can live the rest of your life knowing that there was one man on this planet that truly loved you," People reported Ozzy told his daughter. "And that man is me." The message came after Ozzy fulfilled his final dream: performing one last concert with Black Sabbath at Birmingham's Villa Park in his native England.
Kelly says Aimee's estrangement runs deep. She accused her older sister of constantly trying to change her, making hurtful comments, and seeming to enjoy her struggles. "If you're not gonna accept me for who I am and constantly be trying to change me and say horrible things about me and truly seem to thrive when I'm not doing well, I don't want you in my life," Kelly stated, according to The Mirror. The wounds appear to have festered for years without healing or direct resolution.
Aimee previously told The Independent in 2015 that the siblings' relationship was effectively nonexistent. "Do we socialise? No," she said flatly. Kelly had echoed this in 2021, explaining to outlets that she and Aimee were "really different" and simply not speaking. The 2026 Grammys tribute to Ozzy marked Aimee's rare public appearance with the family, but it did not bridge the gap between the sisters.
Three days before his death, Ozzy made a point to reassure Kelly of his unconditional love. He recognized that she had struggled her whole life to believe she was truly loved and wanted to plant one final certainty: that he loved her without reservation or condition. Kelly said she became emotional during the conversation and pleaded with him not to speak as though death was imminent. People reported that she started to cry as Ozzy spoke.
Those words proved to be among Ozzy's last to his daughter. After years battling serious health problems and Parkinson's disease, the Black Sabbath legend died at age 76 in July 2025. According to his family, Ozzy appeared to understand that his end was approaching and viewed his final Villa Park performance in Birmingham as both a farewell to fans and a chance to say goodbye on his own terms.
The Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park marked a full-circle moment for Ozzy. Performing with Black Sabbath in his hometown, the rock legend got to live out a final dream and thank the fans who had supported him across five decades. Kelly said Ozzy was "the happiest you've ever seen him" in those final days, energized by the opportunity to end his career on a stage he loved, surrounded by the band that had shaped his life and legacy.
Outside her estrangement from Aimee, Kelly has faced other relationship turbulence. She recently ended a short-lived relationship with tattooed content creator Brad, known online as Ugly North, after offensive old social media posts surfaced. Brad apologized for poor judgment but disputed some allegations, denying that the posts showed support for sexual assault. The breakup added another layer of strain to Kelly's personal life just over a year after losing her father.
Reports have also suggested that Kelly and her mother Sharon have grown more distant due to political differences, though neither has publicly detailed the extent or nature of the divide. The family dynamic appears to be fragmenting along multiple fault lines following Ozzy's death.
