Kelly Osbourne furiously denied claims Ozzy Osbourne was dying just days before the 76-year-old passed away.

The 40-year-old spoke out after a bizarre AI video appeared to show the Black Sabbath frontman saying he was ‘going to die’.

The Osbourne family released a joint statement to announce Ozzy’s death yesterday, 22 July, which read: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

However, the news comes just a week after daughter Kelly slammed claims her dad was dying, while also blasting claims her mum Sharon Osbourne had a suicide pact with her husband.

Speaking to fans on 13 July, Kelly said: “So, there’s this video going around on social media, and it’s supposed to be my dad, but it’s AI.

“And it has a voice like my dad’s David Attenborough or something. And it starts out saying, ‘I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die’.

“What the f**k is wrong with you people? Why would you spend your time making a video like this?”

She went on to say: “Yes, he has Parkinson’s, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be but he’s not dying. What is wrong with you?”

In another viral post, it was claimed Sharon would be taking Ozzy to Switzerland as part of an assisted suicide pact between the pair, but Kelly claimed these were ‘bulls***’ comments made by her mum ‘to get attention one time,’ adding: “And my dad’s not dying. Stop.”

The comments from Sharon date back to a 2007 interview with the Mirror, where the former X Factor judge claimed she and Ozzy had ‘come to the same decision’.

“We believe 100 percent in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains,” she said. “If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it – we’d be off.”

Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and recently told fans he’d be ‘laid up’ for the past six years.

He reunited with his fellow original Black Sabbath members Tony Iommi, Terence ‘Geezer’ Butler and Bill Ward for a farewell show on 5 July.
