KELLY Osbourne was seen breaking down in tears live on stage as she paid tribute to her late dad Ozzy.
Legendary rocker Ozzy was 76 when he sadly passed away on July 22, with the cause of death later revealed to be a cardiac arrest.
Heartbroken Kelly, 40, took to the stage to accept a Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of her late father in his native Birmingham.
Ozzy was honoured at The Birmingham Awards, held at The Eastside Rooms.
Accepting the award, Kelly told the audience: “While most singers go their whole career without winning one but impressive as those awards are, this recognition tonight tops them all.
“He was proud to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame but what he was most proud of was his star on the Walk of Stars on Broad Street.

“He was forced to spend much of his life in America because of his work but Birmingham was always his heart and soul.’
“He loved this city, he loved the people as they loved him back. That’s why it was so important to come home one last time in July to say goodbye.”
At this point Kelly’s voice started to crack with emotion and she said: “The tens of people who lined the streets and brought the city to a standstill, the affection you all had for him, my family and I were so so moved by the outpouring of love.
“He performed thousands of shows for more than five decades but the most important gig he ever played was in Aston. Despite his health challenges in later years, he was determined his final concert had to be right here.
“He was a proud Brummy in the beginning of his career and he was a proud Brummy at the end.”
Kelly could hardly hold back the tears, as she ended her speech by saying: “Again, on behalf of my dad and my family, thank you for this wonderful lifetime achievement award. I know he’s looking down on us tonight smiling with pride.”
JACK’S TEARS
Kelly’s brother Jack Osbourne recently gave a heartbreaking update on how his mum Sharon is coping after his father’s death.
In an interview on Good Morning America earlier this month, Jack was asked how Sharon has been doing since her husband’s tragic passing.
Sharon was married to Ozzy for 40 years.
“She’s okay, but she’s not okay,” Jack said.
The interviewer, Chris Connelly, then asked if Sharon can “feel the affection and appreciation” from supporters.
Jack responded: “Oh my god, yeah. I know she feels the love.
“None of us expected it to be like this, with that outpour of love.”
He continued: “Every child sits there and kind of has this thought about one day that their parents won’t be there, and what will that be like.
“It’s just a part of being human. We just didn’t think of it. It was a different weight to it, you know?”
At one point during the interview, emotional Jack broke down in tears while talking about his father’s final concert.
He said: “Before he went on stage, I ran back into the dressing room…”
Choking back the tears, Jack explained how he gave him a “big hug”.
He said: “I just kissed him. I just said, I was like, ‘Crush it. You’re going to do so good.’
“And I was crying.”
SAD DEATH
Legendary rocker Ozzy passed away in July “surrounded by love” just weeks after he took to the stage one final time with his band mates at Villa Park in Birmingham.
In recent years, the star had been battling numerous health conditions, including Parkinson’s.
His official death certificate lists ‘acute myocardial infarction’ and ‘out of hospital cardiac arrest’ under the cause of death section.
It also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction as “joint causes” of Ozzy’s death.
The document described his occupation as a “rock legend, songwriter and performer” in a heart-warming nod towards Ozzy.
