The first family member to break her silence following his burial

Ozzy Osbourne’s daughter Kelly Osbourne has shared a picture of a floral tribute that took pride of place at the funeral of her late dad.

The image comes after Kelly reportedly dedicated herself to keeping a promise to her late father as her entire family grieves.

Heavy metal icon Ozzy passed away last month aged 76. The Black Sabbath front man’s sad death came just weeks after his final, farewell gig in Birmingham – and also after daughter Kelly got engaged backstage to Slipknot’s Sid Wilson.

Since that happy moment, she and her family have endured the heart-wrenching loss of the Osbournes’ patriarch. But amid their mourning during this week’s (Wednesday July 30) funeral procession and following burial, Kelly has kept her focus after she reportedly vowed to ‘stay strong’ for her dad.

As such, she’s the first of the family to break their silence following the funeral.

Kelly’s tribute

Kelly – one of Ozzy’s six children – was seen supporting her mum as she and other relatives assembled in Birmingham city centre for the emotional memorial alongside fans.

The 40 year old placed a comforting arm around her mum as she guided Sharon to the floral tributes left for Ozzy. Kelly also wore her dad’s purple-tinted round lens sunglasses in tribute, which may have assisted her in keeping her composure.

But even though Kelly will no doubt have been overwhelmed by the occasion, MailOnline reported that she was determined ‘not to crumble’ in front of fans.

‘A tough ride’

The are reported to have claimed: “The last few days have been a tough ride. But Kelly has been focused on executing plans with her mum.”

Kelly promised her dad she would not crumble in public.

The anonymous source is said to have continued: “Of course there have been tears. But she promised her dad Ozzy Osbourne – who openly spoke about not wanting people to mourn but rather celebrate his life – that she would not crumble in public.”

ED! has approached a representative for comment.

At points during the procession, Kelly appeared to be holding back tears. With supporters watching on from across the world, Kelly she also took a moment at Black Sabbath bridge in the second city’s Broad Street to embrace her brother Jack.

However, while she fulfilled her father’s wish, Kelly is also reportedly concerned for Sharon at such a time of strain.
