It has been a year since heavy metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne passed away, with his family members and fans remembering the legendary Black Sabbath frontman.

On his first death anniversary, tributes have been pouring in, including an emotional one from his daughter, Kelly Osbourne.

In an Instagram post, a grieving Kelly wrote, "I don't just mourn the father I lost. I mourn the soul I was before death taught my heart its own name. There is a grief that steals more than the person you love. It quietly takes the light from your laughter, the innocence from your hope, and the stranger you become is someone you'll spend a lifetime trying to recognise. People think grief is missing someone who is gone, but the deepest sorrow is waking each day longing for the version of yourself who died with them."

She spoke about an unexplained and unimaginable pain, adding that her father's loss left a void in her heart.

"It cannot be explained, borrowed, or imagined. You only understand its endless ache when you've stood in the unbearable silence, carrying a love that has nowhere left to go. I miss who I was before my daddy died. Before my heart became a home for absence. Before every memory became both a blessing and a wound. Some losses don't simply break you. They divide your life into two people. The one you were before, and the one left behind," she added.

Kelly Osbourne shared another post, remembering her father through a heartfelt letter.

"Today I sit here beside you in a way I never thought would be possible. I know you are still with me, I feel you in the quiet, in the wind, in every song that stops me in my tracks, is the smell of your cologne and in every moment that love outweighs grief. You are all around me. The hardest part isn't that you're gone. The hardest part is that I can't touch you. I can't hold your hand. I can't wrap my arms around you or feel the safety that only you could give me, I always thought life was hard, but life without you has been the hardest thing I have ever had to endure. You are my everything. My protector. My greatest teacher. My best friend. The apple of my eye. My reason," a part of the letter read.
