Kelly Osbourne furiously slammed rumours Ozzy was dying just days before he died

Kelly Osbourne slammed rumours dad Ozzy Osbourne was dying just days before the Black Sabbath frontman actually died. The 40-year-old also denied Ozzy and wife Sharon Osbourne had a suicide pact - claiming that was something her mum said "to get attention" years ago.

Ozzy's passing at the age of 76 comes just weeks after a Black Sabbath reunion concert held in his home city of Birmingham. The singer, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, was "with his family and surrounded by love" during his final moments.

Speaking earlier this month, in the week following her dad's hometown gig, Kelly - who got engaged at Ozzy's farewell show - hit out at an AI-generated social media posts claiming that her dad was telling people he didn't have long left.

"So, there’s this video going around on social media, and it’s supposed to be my dad, but it’s AI," the mum-of-one told fans on July 13. "And it has a voice like my dad’s David Attenborough or something. And it starts out saying, 'I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die'."

The former Fashion Police host then fumed: "What the f–k is wrong with you people? Why would you spend your time making a video like this? Yes, he has Parkinson’s, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be but he’s not dying. What is wrong with you?"

Kelly then clarified mum Sharon's past claimsshe and Ozzy had a 'suicide pact' should one of them fall ill. "That was bulls–t my mum said to get attention one time," Kelly raged. "And my dad’s not dying. Stop."

Sharon's comments in 2007 about the pact came in 2007 during an interview with the Mirror. "Ozzy and I have absolutely come to the same decision," she told us. "We believe 100 percent in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains. If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it – we’d be off."

Ozzy died just over two weeks after his band Black Sabbath were reunited barely two miles from where they first played together more than 50 years ago.

The heavy metal singer – who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 – was reunited with fellow original Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Terence “Geezer” Butler and Bill Ward on stage for a final performance on July 5.

Just over two weeks later Osbourne’s family announced his death at the age of 76. The heavy metal band were the last to appear on stage as part of a star-studded line-up for the Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park, Birmingham, not far from the Crown pub where they played their first gig in 1968.

At the start of his solo performance, Ozzy entered the stage by rising on a large black throne through a trap door, wearing his signature black attire and thick eye make-up.

He started the set by saying: "Let me hear you. Are you ready? Let the madness begin!" Later, he told the crowd: "It’s so good to be on this f****** stage. You have no idea. I f****** love you all. Let me see your hands in the air. You are the best, each and every one of you. God bless you all."

In an emotional moment, he added: "I don’t know what to say, man, I’ve been laid up for, like, six years. You have no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’re all f****** special. Let’s go crazy, come on."

The rocker sang five songs in his own set, with fans waving torches from their phones during Mama, I’m Coming Home. He finished his performance with Crazy Train, before confetti rained over a packed Villa Park. After a short break, he re-entered the stage to join the rest of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years.

Black Sabbath co-founder Tony Iommi has said he "can’t really find the words" following the "heart-breaking news" of Ozzy’s death.

In a social media post, which included a photo of him and his former bandmate, Iommi said: "I just can’t believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park.

"It’s just such heart-breaking news that I can’t really find the words, there won’t ever be another like him. Geezer (Butler), Bill (Ward) and myself have lost our brother. My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace Oz. Tony."
