Kelly Osbourne hadn’t walked a runway since 2015. She returned on Friday, September 18, at Natasha Zinko’s show in London, with a small bat hanging from her neck: the same animal her father Ozzy made immortal in 1982 when he bit its head off onstage.
Ozzy died in July 2025, at 76, and since then 41-year-old Kelly has never stopped quietly paying tribute to him: a bat-shaped fascinator at Royal Ascot, sunglasses with the same silhouette on vacation, and a tattoo of her father’s round glasses.
This time, the gesture was lost amid the flashes and comments. As soon as the show ended, social media filled with cruel messages about her body, calling her ‘skeletal’ and saying she ‘looked like a corpse.’ The most intimate tribute Kelly has made to Ozzy ended up becoming something else 🦇
