AS the Osbournes face their first Christmas without Ozzy, his daughter Kelly has a sure-fire way to put a smile on the family’s faces – a new puppy.
The Black Sabbath legend, who died on July 22, age 76, famously hated the festive season.
But that hasn’t stopped Kelly ploughing ahead with plans to try and boost the grieving clan — as 14 of them gather at Sharon and Ozzy’s Buckinghamshire pad for the big day.
And it sounds like Sharon especially will be showered with love.
Kelly said: “I got my mom so many gifts. It’s crazy.
“I did everything bespoke this year.
“I got her all the things that I know that she really needs but with her name on.
“We have a problem with moths in our house so I had these special moth bags made that say, ‘F**k off moths’.
“I got her some new gardening equipment with her name on because she’s been doing a lot of gardening, and a stocking with her name on it.
“She loves chocolate so I bought her a huge new chocolate jar that says ‘Sharon’s Chocolate’.
“I’m also getting her a new puppy because this year we lost Elvis (Sharon’s beloved Siberian Husky, who died in October age 14), which is really hard.
“It’s a Pomapoo (a cross between a Pomeranian and a miniature poodle).
‘I’ll be sous chef – I just point with wooden spoon’
“I don’t even want to go into it all because I keep accidentally telling her what I got her — I get too excited so I tell everyone everything.
“But she knows she’s getting the dog so it’s not going to ruin the surprise.”
There’s no doubt the first Christmas without the Prince of Darkness will be a painful one.
But Kelly is still doing all she can to bring the festive spirit for her mum, as well as her DJ partner Sid Wilson and their three-year-old son Sidney at the mansion where Ozzy is buried underneath an apple tree.
Kelly revealed: “We are going to have a proper English Christmas.
“I always love that.
“They don’t even have crackers in LA.
“You’ve got to go to the (specialty shop) World Market to get them, and they’re not even the best ones.
“So we will have crackers and all watch the King’s speech.
“On the day, there’s going to be 14 of us and I ordered everyone that’s with us a pair of matching pyjamas to wear.
“We are going to be sitting in front of the telly.
We are going to have a proper English Christmas. I always love that

“My brother Louis (Ozzy’s eldest son who he had with ex-wife Thelma Riley) will cook dinner.
“I’m going to be the sous chef, which means I just point with a wooden spoon. And we’re going to eat tons of chocolates.”
Fresh from his stint on I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here!, Jack Osbourne, 40, will stay in LA with his wife and children.
“But he’ll be on FaceTime,” Kelly added.
“Then Mom is leaving two days after Christmas to be with him.
“My son is so excited for Christmas.
“Space NK brought Santa Claus to visit us and he couldn’t believe it.
“He kept sneaking into Santa’s sack.
“It was so cute and such a magical moment.
“Me and Mom were sat there going ‘aww’.”
Speaking at Juliet Sear’s Silverwood baking range launch at Fortnum & Mason, Kelly joked that she might even attempt to make her This Morning pal’s gingerbread cookies, saying: “She does make it look easy.
“I’ve been doing a lot of charity work before Christmas to keep me busy because I find it really fulfilling.
“I’m working with Centrepoint as well the King’s Trust, and all the charities from Birmingham that we work with, like the Children’s Hospital, Acorn, and the Parkinson’s charity.”
In a low moment, though, Kelly is ready to admit all her efforts to stay busy don’t mask her grief at losing her dad.
She said: “I just want to get through Christmas without crying.”
Kelly has lost a lot of weight since he died — which cruel trolls have pointed out online.
She previously said in a video on social media: “To the people who keep thinking they’re being funny and mean by writing comments like ‘are you ill?’ or ‘get off Ozempic, you don’t look right’.
“My dad just died, and I’m doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.
“And I choose to share my content with you and share the happy side of my life not the miserable side of my life.
“So to all those people, f**k off.”
‘Being an aunt is the best job in the world’
Now she has hit out at the criticism of how she and Jack, who both shot to fame on MTV’s The Osbournes, have been handling Ozzy’s death.
Kelly said: “I think that people forget that he and I are not the teenagers from that reality show.
“You know what people do now is they’re like, ‘Oh my God, she’s had so much plastic surgery’.
“But you’re looking at a picture of me from when I was 16 years old.
I’m 41 years old now. It’s insane.”
It’s the family that keeps Kelly and the rest of the Osbournes going — and they are all thrilled that Jack is now expecting his fifth child.
Jack has three children from his previous marriage, and little daughter Maple with interior designer wife Aree Gearhart.
Kelly added: “Jack and I have this weird dynamic.
“Even though I am the older sister, he’s the older brother.
We will have crackers and watch the King’s speech. On the day, there’s going to be 14 of us and I’ve ordered everyone a pair
of matching pyjamas to wear. We’ll be sitting in front of the telly

“I go to him more than he comes to me.
“Unless I have to be protective of him, then I’m the older sister.
“I speak to him every day.
“I’ve already rang him twice this morning.
“Doing the jungle, the hardest thing for me was not being able to speak to him.
“And he is having another baby.
“I try not to make it about me, but I get so excited that I get to be an aunt again because being an aunt is the best job in the world.
“I’ve now got five nieces and nephews now and it’s so good.
“And now that some of Jack’s daughters are getting older, we have a different relationship, where they come to me for things that they don’t go to their dad for.
“It’s really special.”
And with 2026 around the corner, Kelly is not planning to make any resolutions this year.
She said: “No. I’m working on having a farm here.
“I’m setting up barns as we speak, then we’ll get animals.
“The plan is to stay in England now. I wouldn’t leave my dad.
“It’s just one day at a time.
“Grief is a hard thing. It really is.
“You never know when it’s going to take you out.
“It’s the hardest thing you’ll ever go through in your life.
“I’ll never ever be the girl I was before.”
