Kelly Osbourne showed her support for her late father’s beloved Aston Villa at the BRIT Awards on Saturday night.
Ozzy’s daughter Kelly, alongside Sharon Osbourne, took to the stage in Manchester to celebrate his remarkable music career.
They collected the Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of Ozzy after being invited onto the stage by Dolly Parton, who appeared in a pre-recorded message from Nashville.
The Black Sabbath frontman passed away in July last year aged 76, just two weeks after performing a farewell concert at Villa Park.
Ozzy, who grew up in Aston, always maintained a strong connection to the club and the community he came from.
“He came from a small working class neighbourhood in Birmingham,” Sharon said in her emotional acceptance speech. “He rose to become one of the most recognisable and respected musicians of his life, and he was filled with extraordinarily wonderful high times but very, very real low times.
”But he never stopped tirelessly pushing himself to do better. He always wanted to do better both personally and professionally.”
After Sharon’s emotional speech, Kelly added: ”Thank you for loving my father as much as we do,” before joking: “And I hope I don't disrespect Manchester by saying this. But up the Villa, and Birmingham forever.”
Following playful boos from the Manchester crowd, Sharon laughed: “Knew you were gonna get that. I told you.”
