Kelly Osbourne has sharply criticized WWE star Becky Lynch for an offensive comment about her father, Ozzy Osbourne, during a Raw episode in Birmingham.
The Black Sabbath legend, who died at 76 on July 22, succumbed to a heart attack.
Ozzy, previously diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, passed away peacefully at his Buckinghamshire estate.
Days before his death, he performed a poignant final show in his hometown.
The concert reunited Black Sabbath after two decades, raising $190 million for charity.
A procession through Birmingham honored Ozzy, attended by his wife, Sharon.
Four of his children—Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis—joined the tribute.
A private service in Buckinghamshire followed the public memorial.
On August 25, Netflix aired WWE Raw live from Birmingham’s BP Pulse Live.
Becky Lynch, clashing with Nikki Bella, insulted Birmingham during her promo.
She said, “The only good thing from here died a month ago.”
Lynch added, “Ozzy was wise to move to LA, a real city. I’d die here too.”
Kelly responded on Instagram Stories, calling Lynch a “disrespectful dirtbag.”
She wrote, “Birmingham wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire. #birminghamforever.”
Kelly also condemned WWE, stating, “Shame on @wwe for allowing this!”
Ozzy’s WWE history includes managing The British Bulldogs at WrestleMania II in 1986.
He and Sharon guest-hosted Raw in the 2000s, deepening his wrestling ties.
His song “I Don’t Wanna Stop” was the theme for Judgment Day 2007.
Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” remains a staple for WWE’s WarGames events.
In 2021, Ozzy was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame’s Celebrity Wing.
Fans on X slammed Lynch’s remark as insensitive and poorly timed.
One wrote, “Becky’s Ozzy comment was low. Stick to wrestling jabs.”
Another said, “Too soon, Becky. That was tasteless and disappointing.”
Ozzy’s enduring legacy in music and wrestling resonates deeply.
