Ten days before Ozzy Osbourne died at age 76 on July 22, 2025, his famous daughter Kelly Osbourne, 40, defended her dad against online rumors he was close to death.
“There’s this video going around on social media, and it’s supposed to be my dad, but it’s AI,” Kelly said in a video posted to her Instagram Stories on July 11, according to E! News. “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.’”
Before insisting that her dad was “not dying,” Kelly asked in her Story, “What the [expletive] is wrong with you people? she asked. “Why would you spend your time making a video like this?”
