UPDATE: Kelly Osbourne has just announced her family’s plans for a deeply emotional Christmas this year, the first without her father, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22, 2023. In a candid interview with The Sun published earlier today, Kelly confirmed that the Osbournes will celebrate with a traditional English holiday gathering.
Kelly, 41, expressed her desire to create a festive atmosphere, stating, “We are going to have a proper English Christmas. I always love that.” The family plans to use classic British Christmas crackers, a festive staple that adds a unique touch to their celebrations. “They don’t even have crackers in LA,” she lamented, highlighting the difficulty in finding authentic ones outside the UK.
On the day of the celebration, 14 family members will gather to share this bittersweet moment. “I ordered everyone that’s with us a pair of matching pajamas to wear,” Kelly revealed, emphasizing the importance of togetherness during this challenging time. The family will also tune in to watch King Charles III’s Christmas speech, a tradition that adds to their holiday spirit.
This year’s festivities will undoubtedly be emotional for Kelly, who candidly admitted, “I just want to get through Christmas without crying.” This sentiment resonates deeply as the family navigates their first holiday season without the “Prince of Darkness,” who was just 76 years old at the time of his death.
In a poignant tribute earlier this month, Kelly and her siblings, including Aimee and Jack Osbourne, honored their father’s birthday by decorating his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Signs of love and remembrance were evident, with a plaque reading, “We love you daddy,” signed by Louis, Aimee, Kelly, and Jack, while Sharon Osbourne, 73, added a heartfelt note: “Happy Birthday my darling. Eternal love, Sharon.”
The emotional weight of the season has taken a toll on Kelly, who has also been in the spotlight for her recent health concerns. She addressed speculations surrounding her weight loss, stating, “My dad just died, and I’m doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.” In an Instagram post, she defended herself against body-shaming trolls, urging them to “f–k off.”
As the Osbourne family prepares for this significant holiday, their story captures the essence of love, loss, and the importance of family during trying times. Fans and followers are encouraged to share their support as they face a Christmas filled with both cherished memories and heartfelt tributes to Ozzy Osbourne.
Stay tuned for more updates on how the Osbournes navigate this holiday season and the legacy of their beloved father.
