Kelly Osbourne, daughter of legendary rock musician Ozzy Osbourne, has taken a strong stance against the spread of false information about her father’s health. In a series of social media posts and public statements, she has denounced claims that Ozzy and his ex-wife, Sharon Osbourne, had a suicide pact, as well as rumors that he is nearing the end of his life. The 40-year-old singer and reality TV personality called out the misinformation as ‘bulls–t’ and expressed her frustration with the persistent rumors that have circulated online.
The controversy stems from statements Sharon Osbourne made in 2017, when she suggested that she and Ozzy had reached a mutual decision to pursue assisted suicide in the event of a debilitating illness like Alzheimer’s. However, Kelly has now clarified that these comments were not a serious plan but rather a way for her mother to gain attention. She emphasized that her father’s health struggles are real, particularly due to his Parkinson’s diagnosis, but that he is not dying and is still very much alive. This clarification was a direct response to the misinformation that has continued to circulate about both of her parents.
Additionally, Kelly has addressed a viral AI-generated video that has been circulating online, claiming to depict Ozzy Osbourne as being in a dire health condition. She criticized the video for its inaccuracy, noting that it mimicked her father’s voice in a way that was misleading and potentially harmful. ‘What the f— is wrong with you people?’ she exclaimed in an Instagram post, expressing her exasperation at the spread of such content. She urged people to stop consuming and spreading misinformation, highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
Ozzy Osbourne has been open about his health struggles, having been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003. Despite the condition impacting his mobility, he has remained active in his music career, including performing with Black Sabbath during their final tour. He even revealed on his Sirius XM show that he was unable to walk, but he continued to perform and stay engaged with his fans. Kelly’s comments reinforced the reality that while Ozzy’s health has declined, it does not signify an imminent end to his life.
The public backlash against the misinformation about Ozzy has also sparked discussions about the dangers of AI-generated content, particularly when it is used to spread false claims about prominent figures. Kelly’s sharp response to the misinformation has not only defended her father’s health but also raised awareness about the need for responsible use of technology and the importance of fact-checking before sharing information online. Her comments have resonated with many fans of Ozzy, who have joined in condemning the false narratives that have surrounded the rock icon over the years.
