Kelly Osbourne has spoken up about her family and their close relationship. Before Ozzy Osbourne’s death was confirmed earlier this week, Kelly shared some words about her father and his Parkinson’s disease, and how much it rattled her to find that her parents were not invincible.
In an interview with US Weekly, Kelly shared her thoughts about her family and her biggest fear of losing her parents. “Isn’t it scary? I never thought… I always thought of my parents as being so invincible,” she said in the interview.
“And then all of a sudden, you realize that they’re fragile and they’re a little lost and now it’s my job to show them the way.”
Kelly also touched upon the possibility of their death and her father’s illness, and how difficult it is to cope with Parkinson’s Disease. “My biggest fear is losing a member of my family. Because we are such a unit and we’re so close that we’re nothing without the other.”
“You know, Parkinson’s is really tricky. We don’t know good days from bad days until you’re in it. You can plan and plan but you just don’t know until you’re actually in the timeframe of where you’re supposed to be doing something.”
