There’s no question that Kelly Osbourne was very close to her father, the late Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. His passing in the summer of 2025 left not just Kelly but all of her siblings and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, positively devastated. Ozzy played a final show with his Black Sabbath bandmates, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward on July 5 at Birmingham’s Villa Park in the United Kingdom. He passed just a few weeks later, on July 22. Just shy of 11 months since her dad’s death, Kelly Osbourne attended the Royal Ascot in style.

Kelly Osbourne Paid Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the Royal Ascot
Kelly Osbourne wore a simple black dress and a fascinator with a large bat on top to the 2026 Royal Ascot. In an online video, she admitted the look was dedicated to Ozzy. Her father very famously bit the head off a bat in 1982 after mistaking it for a toy. It was a story that sounds too crazy to be real, but it’s 100% true and one of the tales that made Ozzy Osbourne one of a kind.
Fans loved seeing Kelly Osbourne at Royal Ascot and noticed she looked well after months of commentary about her weight.
“Getting her smile back slowly but surely. Bless her,” a fan wrote.
This person concurred, writing, “So great to see you smiling, @kellyosbourne ! Sending you tons of love, hugs, and light!”
One fan tried to help explain Kelly’s grief.
“I’m not one to ever body shame but it is so good to see Kelly looking healthier now… grief can make you so unwell and she’s really been through it with losing her dad and the end of a big relationship. So much pressure on her as a celebrity also… I just hope she continues to get better and be happy,” they shared.
Losing your father is never easy, but Kelly seems full of joy once again.
