Kelly Osbourne has said she is “not doing so great” following the death of her father, Black Sabbath star Ozzy Osbourne, speaking on the red carpet at the 2026 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
The 41-year-old was interviewed ahead of a tribute to the singer during the ceremony at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday.
Osbourne died aged 76 in July last year. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and spoke publicly about his health in recent years.

Asked how she was coping, Kelly said: “To be honest with you, I won’t lie, people usually say I’m great, I’m not doing so great.
“It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life, but I’m getting through, and we’re doing everything we can to try and just live in his legacy and be happy.”
The tribute performance featured rapper Post Malone alongside Andrew Watt, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Guns N’ Roses members Duff McKagan and Slash.

On the performance, Kelly added: “It means more than I can express into words to see his peers in this community cherish him in such a way, and in a way that he deserves, and it’ll be very emotional.
“I’m here to support my mum, because it’s just as much about her as well. He wouldn’t have been him without her and vice versa.”
Kelly, her mother Sharon and brother Jack were later seen in tears during the tribute as the band performed Black Sabbath’s War Pigs.
In the weeks before his death, Osbourne appeared on stage at the Back To The Beginning concert, reuniting with his bandmates at Birmingham’s Villa Park.
Earlier in the evening, Doncaster-born singer Yungblud won Best Rock Performance for his live cover of Black Sabbath’s Changes, recorded at the farewell concert.
