Kelly Osbourne has shared a deeply emotional message to her mother, Sharon Osbourne, on what would have been Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne’s 46th wedding anniversary, marking the first time the family has faced the date without Ozzy. Reports say Kelly wrote the message as an open letter to Sharon on Instagram, reflecting on the pain of the milestone while offering comfort and love to her mother. Ozzy and Sharon were married in 1982, and Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, at age 76.
Kelly’s note was reportedly heartfelt and consoling, acknowledging that the anniversary would be especially difficult while reminding Sharon that Ozzy’s presence still lives on through family, memory, and the love they built together. The Scottish Sun said Kelly’s letter also mentioned her son Sidney and praised Sharon’s strength in the face of loss.
Sharon also marked the anniversary with her own emotional Instagram post, writing, “Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary. Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine…” Her message framed the day not only as a loss, but as a tribute to a marriage that lasted more than four decades and remained central to both of their lives.
The anniversary carries even more weight because it comes less than a year after Ozzy’s death. People has previously noted that Sharon and Ozzy’s relationship spanned more than five decades, beginning in 1970 and eventually becoming one of rock’s most recognizable marriages. They renewed their vows in 2017, and Sharon has often described Ozzy as her soulmate.
Kelly has continued to grieve publicly in the months since her father’s death, sharing emotional tributes and speaking openly about how much she misses him. In earlier posts, she called Ozzy “the best friend I ever had,” and around the anniversary period she has also remained active in honoring his memory in ways that are both personal and highly visible.
Together, the mother-daughter tributes turned a painful date into something more intimate: a shared remembrance of Ozzy, and a reminder that even after his death, the family’s bond remains unbroken.
