Kelly Osbourne (seen here with fiancé Sid Wilson) teared up while accepting The Birmingham Awards' Lifetime Achievement Award on behalf of late dad Ozzy Osbourne.

"This recognition tonight tops them all," Kelly, 40, insisted, according to a report. "He was proud to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame but what he was most proud of was his star on the Walk of Stars on Broad Street. He was forced to spend much of his life in America because of his work but Birmingham was always his heart and soul."

The mom-of-one started tearing up when she mentioned her father's last concert.

"He loved this city, he loved the people as they loved him back. That's why it was so important to come home one last time in July to say goodbye," she noted of his reunion show with Black Sabbath. "The tens of people who lined the streets and brought the city to a standstill, the affection you all had for him, my family and I were so so moved by the outpouring of love."

The mom-of-one called her dad's final show 'the most important gig' he's played over five decades.

"He performed thousands of shows for more than five decades but the most important gig he ever played was in Aston," she noted. "Despite his health challenges in later years, he was determined his final concert had to be right here."

"He was a proud Brummy in the beginning of his career and he was a proud Brummy at the end. Again, on behalf of my dad and my family, thank you for this wonderful Lifetime Achievement Award," the Project Runway Junior judge concluded. "I know he's looking down on us tonight smiling with pride."

Kelly Osbourne admitted she 'will not be OK for a while' after losing her dad.

In August, Kelly thanked fans for the love they sent her after Ozzy's passing.

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you. The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life," she wrote on Instagram at the time. "Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain."

"Grief is strange — it sneaks up on you in waves — I will not be OK for a while — but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference," she continued. "I'm holding on tight to the love, the light and the legacy left behind."
