Kelly Osbourne is trying to stay strong after dad Ozzy Osbourne's sudden death on July 22.

Kelly Osbourne's Promise to Dad Ozzy
Kelly Osbourne allegedly promised her father she 'would not crumble in public' after his death.
"The last few days have been a tough ride, but Kelly has been focused on executing plans with her mom," an insider spilled to a news outlet. "Of course, there have been tears, but she promised her dad — who openly spoke about not wanting people to mourn but rather celebrate his life — that she would not crumble in public."
The source added that the reality star, 40, is also "concerned about the impact this is having on" her mom, Sharon Osbourne, 72, Ozzy's widow.
"She and Ozzy were such a unique couple," the source noted. "Them being apart … is heartbreaking."

The music icon passed away at age 76 on July 22.
As OK! reported, the musician's family confirmed he passed away at age 76 after a battle with Parkinson's.
"It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning," their joint message read. "He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time."
Kelly referred to her dad as her 'best friend' while mourning his death.
Kelly shared a post on social media after his passing, writing, "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I lost the best friend I ever had 💔."
The mom-of-one's words are song lyrics from her dad's band Black Sabbath's tune "Changes," which she once recorded a duet of with Ozzy.
Kelly and Ozzy's Last Photos Together
The reality star was 'grateful' her dad was able to have one final performance before his death.
In early July, the Fashion Police alum raved over seeing her dad perform in what was already scheduled to be his final performance. She posted a few photos from the special day, including the moment her family surrounded her as baby daddy Sid Wilson popped the question with a diamond ring.
"To say that yesterday was magic was an understatement! I can’t even wrote this without tears streaming down my face! Thank you to everyone who came to support my dad," Kelly gushed. "Thank you to the fans who without we are nothing! My dad got his moment in the sun! He was able to say thank you and goodbye in the most beautiful way!"
