Kelly Osbourne recently called off her engagement to Slipknot’s Sid Wilson. She shared an emotional personal letter addressed to her mother Sharon Osbourne to mark what would have been Sharon and the late Ozzy Osbourne’s 44th wedding anniversary. Kelly offered words of comfort and reflection to her mother on the bittersweet occasion.
“A letter to my Mother on what would have been her 46th wedding anniversary!” Kelly wrote. “My dearest Mummy, today feels different. A day that was once filled with celebration now carries a quiet ache. This is your first wedding anniversary without Daddy by your side, and I can only imagine how heavy your heart must feel. There are some dates that remind us just how deeply we have loved, and today is one of them.”
Kelly went on to offer her mother reassurance that the love between Sharon and Ozzy endures beyond loss.
“I hope you know that love like yours doesn’t end when a life does,” she continued. “It changes shape. It becomes the warmth of the sun on your face when you need comfort, the memories that make you smile through tears, the quiet moments when you somehow know he’s near. Daddy may no longer walk beside you, but he will never stop walking with you.”
She then reflected on the lasting legacy of her parents’ relationship and the family they built together.
“Please remember that although today reminds us of what has changed, it can never take away what you and Daddy built together,” Kelly wrote. “A lifetime of love cannot be erased by death. It lives on in every story we tell, every lesson he taught us, every laugh we still hear in our memories, and in the family that continues to grow because of the love you both created.”
Kelly closed the letter with a tribute to her father’s greatest legacy — the love he gave to those around him.
“Daddy’s greatest legacy wasn’t simply the life he lived,” she said. “It was the love he gave, the family he helped create, and the remarkable woman he adored. That woman is you. Happy anniversary to a love story that even heaven could never end.”
The heartfelt post comes at a deeply personal moment for the entire Osbourne family. They continue to navigate life following Ozzy’s passing while Kelly simultaneously faces significant changes in her own personal life.
Ozzy Osbourne passed away on January 22, 2025, at the age of 76, due to complications from Parkinson’s disease. His death marked the end of a decades-long battle with the illness and left an immeasurable void in the lives of his family and fans around the world.
Sharon and Ozzy married on September 4, 1981, and remained together for 44 years until his death. Their union produced a family that includes Kelly and her brother Jack Osbourne. Their relationship became one of the most enduring and well-known love stories in rock history.
This anniversary marks the first time Sharon has faced the milestone without Ozzy by her side. That reality clearly weighed heavily on Kelly as she penned the tribute. The letter reflects not only a daughter’s love for her mother, but also the family’s collective effort to honor a bond that defined so much of their lives.
Kelly’s post also arrives in the wake of her own romantic heartbreak. She officially ended her engagement to Sid Wilson in early June 2025, citing emotional distance and conflicting career priorities as key reasons for the split. The timing of both events has placed Kelly in a position of offering comfort to others while quietly processing her own grief and change.
