Kelly Osbourne has spoken out following her father's death.

Kelly is one of three daughters to music legend Ozzy Osbourne who recently died at the age of 76.

His death comes after a 2019 Parkinson's disease diagnosis. His condition didn't stop the Black Sabbath frontman performing his final concert just days before his death.

To raise money for charity, Ozzy returned to his hometown of Birmingham, UK, alongside his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. It was the first time the band had reunited on stage of two decades.

"He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," the statement concluded.

Other that this, the family have mainly remained quiet as they grieve the loss of Ozzy. Kelly, however, has since broken her silence.

Taking to her Instagram story, she quoted Black Sabbath's song 'Changes' writing: "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had."

The original song was released in 1972 but Kelly and Ozzy released their own version of the track in 2003, which reached number one on the UK Singles Chart.

Sharon has also broken her social media silence and thanked people for their heartfelt tributes to her late husband.

One tribute came from BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders who heard the news of Ozzy's death while he was on air.

"As I was on air tonight, the news broke that we had lost one of the greatest showman the world of metal and music has ever seen," the DJ wrote on Instagram.

"The bands and artists that dare to fly the flag in the name of rock n roll do so because Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath did first. He was a blessing to music. Rest In Peace the Prince Of Darkness."

Replying to the sweet tribute, Sharon penned to Jack: "Jack thank you for your tribute to Ozzy tonight, Bless you."

Gavin Rossdale also paid his respects to Ozzy and described him as 'a great man' and a 'true legend'.
