“One year ago today, the world changed forever,” she declared in a heartfelt letter on Instagram.
“Today I sit beside you in a way I never thought would be possible. I know you are still with me. I feel you in the quiet, in the wind, in every song that stops me in my tracks, is the smell of your cologne and in every moment that the love outweighs the grief. You are all around me.”
She expressed the brutal reality of her loss: “The hardest part isn’t that you’re gone. The hardest part is that I can’t touch you. I can’t hold your hand. I can’t wrap my arms around you or feel the safety that only you could give me. I always thought life was hard, but life without you has been the hardest thing I have ever had to endure.”
Osbourne continued to pour out her heart: “You are my everything. My protector. My greatest teacher. My best friend. The apple of my eye. My reason.”
The former “Fashion Police” star, 41, reminisced about their “beautiful memories” together, emphasizing how he made every moment worthwhile amid chaos.
“I have never loved anyone or anything as deeply, as uniquely as I love you. And now I carry all of that love with nowhere to place it except within me, my son, and mumma. It aches every single day, but it is also the greatest privilege of my life. To have loved someone so completely,” she wrote.
Her grief intensified recently; on Father’s Day, she shared another emotional tribute to her father.
“Dad, I still find myself looking for you in ordinary moments—the advice I need, the joke I want to tell, the victory I wish you could see,” she wrote alongside nostalgic photos with the Black Sabbath frontman.
“The ache of missing you is the price of loving you, and I would pay it forever rather than have never been your child at all!” she added.
“I will never stop missing you. It is an honor to spend the rest of my life loving you. Until we meet again! 💔.”
Ozzy tragically died on July 22, 2025, after battling Parkinson’s disease. He was 76.
In 2020, Ozzy revealed his diagnosis.
He shared daughters Kelly and Aimee Osbourne, 42, and son Jack Osbourne, 40, with his wife, Sharon Osbourne.
Additionally, he was a father to Elliot Kingsley, 60, Jessica Osbourne, 47, and Louis Osbourne, 51, from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley from 1971 to 1982.
