Is Ozzy Osbourne Dying and Set to Be 'Euthanised'? Kelly Osbourne Slams AI Hoax—'That's Not My Dad!'

KEY POINTS
- AI Fuels New Ozzy Osbourne Death Rumors
- Kelly Osbourne Sets the Record Straight
- Ozzy's Real Health Battle: Parkinson's and Spinal Injuries
Ozzy Osbourne, the 76-year-old godfather of heavy metal, is once again the subject of morbid speculation. But this time, his daughter Kelly Osbourne is setting the record straight, and she's not holding back.
The former Fashion Police host took to Instagram Stories over the weekend to blast what she called a 'sick' and 'fake' video circulating online. The clip, which claims to show the legendary rocker on his deathbed, is actually an AI-generated deepfake. And Kelly, 40, wasn't having any of it.
'So, there's this video going around on social media, and it's supposed to be my dad, but it's AI,' she told her followers, visibly frustrated. 'It has a voice like my dad's — David Attenborough or something — and it starts out saying, 'I don't need a doctor to tell me that I'm going to die.''
That line alone was enough to send fans spiraling into panic, especially given Ozzy's recent health battles. But Kelly quickly shot down the suggestion that her father is on the verge of death.
'Yes, he has Parkinson's, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be,' she admitted. 'But he's not dying. What is wrong with you?'

The Price of Fame (And AI Fakery)
The video in question appears to blend old audio clips and synthetic voiceovers to mimic Ozzy's gravelly speech, creating a deceptively real moment that never happened. With AI-generated misinformation becoming more common, even celebrities like Ozzy are now facing fabricated death scares.
'People need to stop believing everything they see online,' one fan wrote in support of Kelly's post. 'This is cruel.'
Revisiting the 'Suicide Pact'
Kelly also addressed a long-standing rumour that she says needs to be laid to rest. The gossip stems from a 2007 interview her mother Sharon Osbourne gave, claiming that she and Ozzy had agreed to a euthanasia pact if either developed Alzheimer's.
'That was bulls–t my mum said to get attention one time,' Kelly said candidly. 'And my dad's not dying. Stop.'
Though Sharon, now 72, did indeed say at the time that the couple would consider assisted suicide in Switzerland under extreme circumstances, Kelly insists it was nothing more than tabloid fodder.
Health Challenges and a Quiet Goodbye

Ozzy has faced serious health setbacks in recent years, including a major spinal injury in 2019 and a public battle with Parkinson's disease, which he confirmed in 2020.
Ozzy's final show with Black Sabbath last week - the 'Back To The Beginning' concert in Birmingham - is proof of his resilience. Performing seated on a black-winged throne, he delivered emotional renditions of 'Crazy Train' and 'Paranoid', reaffirming his commitment to music.
After the final note, he was given a cake by bandmate Geezer Butler and fireworks lit up the night sky. In a surprise backstage moment, Kelly got engaged to her longtime partner Sid Wilson, right in front of her proud parents.
Parkinson's: The Reality
According to the Mayo Clinic, Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that primarily affects movement. While there is no cure, treatments and lifestyle adjustments can significantly improve quality of life.
Ozzy himself has acknowledged that he's in the twilight of his years, once saying he likely has 'at best 10 years left.' But in the same breath, he's expressed gratitude for life and for the support of his family.
Still Defying the Odds
If anything, Kelly's message is a call to resist sensationalism and celebrate resilience.
'My dad's not going anywhere right now,' she said. 'So stop making up stories and let him live.'
Whether in a stadium full of headbangers or quietly enjoying retirement, Ozzy Osbourne continues to stir the hornet's nest and defy expectations—one comeback, one controversy, and one deepfake at a time.
