    Kelly Osbourne has shared her heartbreak about her first Christmas without late father Ozzy

    The Black Sabbath frontman passed away in July at the age of 76, after years of ill health, and his 41-year-old daughter has shared a touching throwback of the heavy metal legend decorating a Christmas tree as the Osbourne family prepares for their first Christmas without him.


    She captioned the clip on Instagram: "We are meant to be putting up the Christmas tree today! It won't be the same (crying emoji)"

    Ozzy's son Jack, meanwhile, is currently in the I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle, which is said to have helped him cope with his grief.

    On the November 17 episode, Jack burst into tears when he recounted Ozzy's death after fellow campmate Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, 49, asked him about the rock star's passing - which he admitted "still feels fresh".

    His wife, Aree, is grateful for his co-stars rallying around him.

    She said on I'm A Celebrity...Unpacked!: "I found his connections with Lisa and Ruby to be really heartwarming. I think that they're such kind, warm souls that are so funny, and I feel like in this season that Jack is in, he needs people like that by his side.

    "And I was really happy to find those connections."

    Viewers have been concerned for Jack's wellbeing Down Under because he looks dejected in camp.

    Ozzy passed away a little over two weeks after Black Sabbath's epic Back to the Beginning farewell concert in Birmingham and credits his devoted wife Sharon Osbourne for keeping him alive for so long.

    The Paranoid rocker said in the documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now: "If it wasn't for Sharon Osbourne, I wouldn't be here now. I would definitely not have the success I have. I wouldn't be sober. I'd be six foot under without a shadow of a doubt.

    "Because I didn't drink any less or do any more drugs than any of them, but all the guys I used to do it with, they're all dead, so there must be something I did right in the world. The one thing I did was have my Sharon."
