Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Kelly Osbourne has shared throwback footage of herself giving a tour of the late singer-songwriter’s dressing room at an event when she was a child
A throwback video has been shared by Kelly Osbourne this week following the death of her father Ozzy Osbourne. She’s seen giving a tour of his dressing room in the footage, which is filmed when she joined him at a concert years ago.
Kelly, 40, was among the relatives who announced that Ozzy had died, aged 76, last month. Just weeks prior, he had performed on stage for the last time in a farewell concert and the support from fans is said to have surprised him.
Ozzy’s retirement came after a decades-long career as a performer, with youngest daughter Kelly present for some of his shows over the years. She’s now looked back at one event, sharing a throwback video this week. It comes after Sharon Osbourne breaks down in tears at Ozzy’s funeral in heartbreaking scenes.

Kelly shared footage on Instagram earlier that’s said to date back to the festival tour Ozzfest in 1997. It had initially been shared by fan account @ozzyslegacy, which wrote: “Kelly giving a tour of Ozzy’s dressing room at @theozzfest 1997.”
She then shared the post, including a snippet of the video, on her Instagram Story this morning. Kelly didn’t include a caption on the video, which shows her giving a tour of former Black Sabbath member Ozzy’s dressing room.
The video begins with Kelly heading towards the dressing room, with her saying: “So this is my dad’s room.” She confirms that he isn’t in there yet and takes the film crew inside, where she speaks about her experience on tour.
Kelly, who would have been twelve at the time, said: “This is where I sit with my dad for about an hour before he goes on stage. He listens to music really loud and he punches the wall, with his boxing gloves, and breaks the wall down.”
She went on to reveal that “everything” in the dressing room is marked so that Ozzy “knows where it is”. Kelly said in the footage that has resurfaced since his death: “Everything’s in the same place, every night, so he can find it.”
A table in the room is shown to include tea bags, fruit and a can of tuna for the late singer-songwriter. Kelly later showcases his wardrobe, saying: “These are my favourite things.” She’s then seen taking out some clothing pieces.
She said that his “favourite” jacket features fringe sleeves. Kelly however shared at the time: “He never wears them because he says they’re uncomfortable.” She also highlights several t-shirts, featuring photos of either Ozzy or Black Sabbath, in the video, saying that he has options for sets.
After sharing that he has a drawer of workout clothes and following a glimpse of some dumbbells, Kelly said that Ozzy liked to prank people with stink bombs whilst on tour. She said in the throwback video: “He plays jokes and throws them in all the dressing rooms and it smells so bad.”
The scene of Kelly giving a tour of his dressing room comes to a close after she shares that his wardrobe includes drawers of underwear and shoes. She said: “He paints his own shoes”. One shoe is then shown to the camera, with “I don’t give a f***” written on the front of the footwear.
Kelly, who got engaged in front of Ozzy at his farewell concert, recently paid tribute to him in a statement that she shared earlier with fans this month. It came following the late singer’s funeral procession and private service.
She expressed gratitude for the support she had received. As reported at the time, she wrote in a post on social media just a few days ago: “I’ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don’t know if the words will ever feel like enough … but from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
“The love, support, and beautiful messages I’ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.
“Grief is a strange thing – it sneaks up on you in waves – I will not be ok for a while – but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind. Thank you for being there. I love you all so much.”
