Kelly Osbourne marks first Father’s Day without late dad Ozzy, writing about “the ache” of missing him

Kelly Osbourne posted a Father’s Day message reflecting on the grief she said she is still carrying after the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, according to Page Six. In the message, Osbourne described missing him as a continuing “ache,” tying the feeling to what she characterized as the cost of love and the meaning of being a child of a parent she loved.

The TV personality marked what she described as her first Father’s Day without Ozzy, writing that the day had arrived since his death and that the loss was still present in her life. Page Six reported the framing as Osbourne’s attempt to put words to the emotional transition of one of the family holidays that often spotlights fathers and parent-child relationships.

Osbourne’s statement included the line, “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,” Page Six reported. The quotation was presented as part of Osbourne’s written message to Ozzy and as a direct expression of her grief.

Page Six also noted that Osbourne shared an accompanying image featuring herself and Ozzy Osbourne. The outlet described the photo as one where they made playful faces together, with Osbourne and her father turning the memory into a visible tribute as the Father’s Day date arrived.

The emotional message was published the same day as Father’s Day, with Page Six dating the story to June 21, 2026. Page Six framed the timing as part of why the post stood out to readers, noting that it represented the first Father’s Day Osbourne said she was experiencing after his death.

Beyond the personal reflection, the post fits a broader pattern of public figures using major calendar events to address family milestones and bereavement in open, audience-facing ways. In Osbourne’s case, Page Six’s reporting described the message as both a tribute and an acknowledgment of how the holiday can intensify feelings of absence rather than closure.

As of publication, the primary public documentation referenced by Page Six was Osbourne’s Father’s Day message and the related photograph. No additional procedural or institutional developments were described in the report, and the story centers on the personal wording Osbourne chose to share with her followers on the day.

If additional commentary or updates from Osbourne or Ozzy Osbourne’s representatives emerge, they would likely be tied to her continuing public statements around the anniversary of his death and other family and remembrance moments, though Page Six’s account focused on the Father’s Day post itself.
