I got 14,501 days with that man and I grasp that is such a blessing.”
The Osbourne family’s grief was palpable, with Kelly Osbourne also sharing a poignant remembrance of her father, referencing the lyrics of Black Sabbath’s 1972 hit “Changes.” “I feel unhappy,” she wrote on social media. “I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had.”
