Just one week before the shocking death of Ozzy Osbourne, a wave of concern and speculation about his health flooded social media. And at the center of that conversation was his daughter, Kelly Osbourne, who found herself fighting off harsh criticism from fans who feared the worst.
Kelly took to Instagram Stories to clap back at a message she received regarding her father’s condition. The comment — now haunting in retrospect — accused Kelly of being in denial about the seriousness of Ozzy’s Parkinson’s disease.
“Kelly, do you understand how Parkinson’s disease works? The fact that you keep saying your dad isn’t dying just shows that you do not understand how Parkinson’s disease works,” the message read.
The fan further added, in what now seems eerily foretelling:
“Parkinson’s disease eventually stops people from breathing and functioning, and they die from Parkinson’s. If he’s at stage five, and he just said that he doesn’t feel good, and his health is failing. You need to trust what he’s saying, not what you’re hoping.”
💢 Kelly Osbourne’s Angry Response: “W*f is wrong with people?”
Clearly upset by the unsolicited message, Kelly unleashed a passionate defense of her father’s health.
“This is the sh*t I wake up to. Wt* is wrong with people?” she wrote. “Believe me, I fully understand how this works. Your message is incredibly rude. So firstly, I want to tell you to go f*ck yourself!”
Kelly continued her response by setting the record straight about Ozzy’s diagnosis.
“He is not in stage five! That is not the way his kind of Parkinson’s works. You are a nasty c*nt for sending anyone a message like this. Stop watching AI-generated content and stop perpetuating the bullsh*t.”
“I don’t really respond to messages such as this, but you really p*ssed me off. How dare you?!”
🕯️ A Week Later, the Rock World Lost Its Prince of Darkness
What fans didn’t know at the time was that these online conversations — filled with warning signs and emotional defenses — would be among the last before Ozzy Osbourne’s death was announced just a week later.
His passing shocked the music world, and the earlier backlash Kelly faced now feels tragically prophetic. While she stood her ground and defended her father fiercely, the exchange painted a portrait of a family already under immense emotional strain — and of fans sensing the inevitable.
