Tears flowed as Kelly Osbourne took the stage at The Birmingham Awards on October 17, 2025, just three months after the death of her father, rock icon Ozzy Osbourne. Accepting his posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award, she delivered a deeply emotional tribute to the man the world knew as the \u201cPrince of Darkness,\u201d but to her, was simply \u201cDad.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a moving speech, Kelly highlighted Ozzy\u2019s monumental legacy: twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, five Grammy wins, and twelve nominations. But above all, she said, this Birmingham honor meant the most to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She spoke lovingly of his devotion to his hometown, revealing that while he cherished his Hollywood Walk of Fame star, it was his star on Birmingham\u2019s Broad Street that truly filled him with pride. Though work kept him in America, Birmingham \u201cwas always his heart and soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kelly broke down as she recalled the overwhelming love shown during Ozzy\u2019s final hometown concert, joined by original Black Sabbath members in Aston. \u201cHe was a proud Brummy at the beginning of his career, and he was a proud Brummy at the end,\u201d she said, ending with gratitude on behalf of her family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The applause was thunderous, and emotional clips of the speech quickly went viral, drawing heartfelt reactions from fans who praised Kelly\u2019s strength and touching tribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This wasn\u2019t her first homage; days after his passing in July, she shared a heartbreaking Instagram message mourning the loss of her \u201cbest friend,\u201d as the family announced Ozzy had died \u201csurrounded by love\u201d after his final Birmingham farewell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
