Even through all the madness we lived through, you somehow made every moment worthwhile.'She recounted fond memories with her father and said: '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.'Kelly said she wishes her father could see 'the little man' her son Sidney is becoming, adding: 'Every single day I catch glimpses of you in him. Your smile. Your spirit. Your mannerisms.'Sometimes it stops me in my tracks because it feels as though you've found a way to remind me that love never truly leaves us.

Death could never take that from us.'Kelly finished her tribute by saying how much she loves Ozzy, and thanked him for 'being my daddy' and 'making me who I am'. She also shared another post revealing what she had learned about grief in the past year. She said: 'I don't just mourn the father I lost. I mourn the soul I was before death taught my heart its own name.'There's a grief that steals more than the person you love. It quietly takes the light from your laughter, the innocence from your hope and the stranger you become is someone you'll spend a lifetime trying to recognise.'

It cannot be explained, borrowed or imagined.'You only understand its endless ache when you've stood in the unbearable silence, carrying a love that has nowhere left to go.'She admitted she misses 'who I was before my daddy died', adding: 'Before my heart became a home for absence. Before every memory became both a blessing and a wound.'Kelly concluded her post by writing: 'And perhaps that is grief's cruellest truth. 'Not that death takes the ones we love but that it leaves us living as ghosts of the people we used to be.'Ozzy was also remembered by his widow Sharon, who encouraged fans to 'remember how funny he was – funny and charismatic and real' in an interview with BBC Radio West Midlands.She added: 'He was authentic.'He never tried to be anything other than what he was, and he would tell you the truth about everything and that was him, you knew where you were with him.'Ozzy died of a reported heart attack after suffering a string of health issues over the years, including multiple surgeries following a fall in February 2019 and being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.Black Sabbath formed in 1968 and are widely credited with defining and popularising the sound of heavy metal.Osbourne also had a successful solo career and appeared in 2000s reality TV series The Osbournes alongside his wife Sharon and their two youngest children.
