LOS ANGELES, July 12: Kelly Osbourne has publicly addressed speculation surrounding her parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, regarding a past claim about a "suicide pact" and recent rumors suggesting her father's declining health.
The 40-year-old television personality took to Instagram Stories on Friday to clarify the situation and express frustration over misinformation spreading online. This comes shortly after her engagement to partner Sid Wilson, who proposed backstage at Ozzy’s final live performance in Birmingham earlier this month.
Kelly firmly dismissed the ongoing narrative that her parents had made a suicide pact, a claim that originally surfaced in a 2023 episode of The Osbournes podcast. During that episode, Sharon mentioned that euthanasia remained "part of the plan" for her and Ozzy if they were to face severe health issues. Similar comments had previously been made by Ozzy in 2014, when he said assisted dying would be an option in the face of a life-threatening condition.
Addressing the issue on social media, Kelly said, "Stop making articles or posts suggesting that my parents have a suicide pact. That was something my mother once said, possibly in jest or to make a point, and it has since been taken out of context." She added, "And my dad is not dying. Please stop spreading these false stories."
Kelly also responded to the circulation of an artificial intelligence-generated video in which Ozzy is falsely portrayed as announcing his impending death. She emphasized that the video was fake and denounced its creation, saying, "Yes, he has Parkinson’s, and his mobility has changed, but he is not dying."
To further highlight the ongoing issue, Kelly shared examples of insensitive social media comments, including one that read, “Tell us Ozzy is going to die soon without telling us.”
Ozzy Osbourne, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003, recently performed at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, marking his final live show. The event was an emotional milestone, not only due to his health journey—having undergone seven surgeries in recent years—but also because it was a full-circle reunion with Black Sabbath and a moment of family celebration, as his daughter Kelly accepted a marriage proposal backstage.
The discussion of a suicide pact between Ozzy and Sharon has surfaced multiple times over the years. In a 2007 interview with The Mirror, Sharon revealed that she and Ozzy had agreed to pursue assisted suicide if either were diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease such as Alzheimer’s. She recounted sharing the decision with their children, stating it was a deeply personal plan rooted in their desire to avoid prolonged suffering.
She also reflected on her father’s battle with illness, describing his rapid decline and the emotional toll it took on the family, which influenced her views on end-of-life choices.
Ozzy echoed similar sentiments in a 2014 interview, saying that if he ever became fully dependent, he would not want to continue living under such conditions. “If I can’t get up and go to the bathroom by myself, I don’t want to be here,” he said.
Despite these past remarks, Kelly has made it clear that such statements were hypothetical and do not reflect her father's current health status. She emphasized that while Ozzy faces health challenges, he remains active, supported by his family, and continues to be celebrated by fans around the world.
The final concert in Birmingham was filled with emotional moments as Ozzy, seated on a throne on stage, expressed his gratitude to the cheering crowd: “You have no idea how I feel. It’s so good to be on this stage. Let the madness begin!”
