Kelly Osbourne is putting an end to rumors about her dad Ozzy Osbourne’s health.
The TV personality, 40, shared a video on her Instagram Stories Friday addressing online claims that her famous father, 76, is near-death amidst his various health struggles.
“So, there’s this video going around on social media, and it’s supposed to be my dad, but it’s AI,” Kelly told her fans.
“And it has a voice like my dad’s David Attenborough or something,” she continued. “And it starts out saying, ‘I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die.'”
“What the f–k is wrong with you people?” Kelly added. “Why would you spend your time making a video like this?”
The former “Fashion Police” host clarified that Ozzy is “not dying.”
“Yes, he has Parkinson’s, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be,” Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s daughter said, “but he’s not dying. What is wrong with you?”
Kelly also slammed the speculation that her parents have a “suicide pact,” which Sharon, 72, spoke about over 15 years ago.
“That was bulls–t my mum said to get attention one time,” Kelly explained, adding, “And my dad’s not dying. Stop.”
In 2007, Sharon told The Mirror: “Ozzy and I have absolutely come to the same decision. We believe 100 percent in euthanasia so have drawn up plans to go to the assisted suicide flat in Switzerland if we ever have an illness that affects our brains.”
“If Ozzy or I ever got Alzheimer’s, that’s it – we’d be off,” Sharon added.
Ozzy confirmed his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Parkinson’s is a disorder of the nervous system that affects movement and causes tremors and stiffness. There is no cure.
The rock legend has also undergone multiple surgeries in recent years, including for a debilitating spinal injury in 2019.
In Nov. 2023, Ozzy said he has “at best 10 years left” to live.
Ozzy, who is now confined to a wheelchair, recently played his final concert with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
The “Crazy Train” singer was joined by other iconic musical acts including Steven Tyler, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses and Ronnie Wood for the 42,000-person crowd concert.
After the last song, Ozzy was presented with a cake and fireworks went off over Villa Park to close out the emotional night.
Kelly got engaged to her boyfriend Sid Wilson in front of her parents backstage at the event.
