Sharon and Kelly Osbourne are paying tribute on what would have been the late Ozzy Osbourne’s 77th birthday.
On Wednesday, December 3, Sharon, 73, shared a video montage dedicated to Ozzy via her Instagram account. The clip begins with a glimpse of a special birthday memorial that has been erected on Black Sabbath Bridge in Birmingham, England, where Ozzy and his bandmates are from. The words “Happy birthday, Ozzy” can be seen adorning the bridge in purple flowers. The clip, set to the late rocker’s 1995 song “See You On the Other Side,” then segues into various photos from throughout Ozzy’s life.
“My darling husband, I celebrate the day you were born. I will never let go of your hand until I see you on the other side,” Sharon captioned the sweet tribute.
Ozzy and Sharon’s daughter, Kelly, 41, shared a video montage of her own on Tuesday, December 2, featuring pictures of her visiting the Black Sabbath Bridge birthday tribute in Birmingham, which she interspersed with old family photos and home video of her father.
“Happy birthday daddy you most certainly did not die an ordinary man!” Kelly captioned her post, which she set to the tune of Ozzy’s 2020 song “Ordinary Man” featuring Elton John.

“Life without you is hard, but not a day goes by that I don’t dedicate my life to loving you and your legacy! I miss you more than anything in the world. I love you until eternity! What I would not give to watch you blow out just one more candle 🕯️,” Kelly continued.
On Wednesday, Kelly shared another post dedicated to her father, this time a carousel of images of the two of them together when Kelly was just a little girl.
“Happy birthday I miss you daddy! 🎂 I love you more than life itself!” she captioned the Instagram post.
Ozzy died at age 76 in July after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

“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,” his family told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
The rocker’s cause of death was revealed to be cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease, per a death certificate obtained by The Sun newspaper in August.
During a November episode of the “Osbournes” podcast, Sharon opened up for the first time about Ozzy’s death and revealed that Britain’s King Charles III personally reached out to the family to share his condolences.
“Our king, he’s an amazing person. Not just because he wrote to us when Ozzy passed … if he did it for us, you know he does it for many, many, many people,” she said. “Here’s a man who does know what’s going on in the street with people, not just politics. Here’s a man who cares about the environment, animals. He cares about many, many, many things. He’s got a good heart.”
“When Ozzy was sick in hospital with the motorbike accident, he reached out,” Sharon said. “He’s a good, caring man with a good heart. Ozzy, as me… we’re royalists. We respect him, we respect his family. We respect. He took the time out of his day to write us, have it hand-delivered to us, a note from the king for Ozzy’s passing with his condolences. And that says so much.”
