Kelly Osbourne has thanked fans for their "support" during the "hardest moment" of her life following the death of her father, the Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.
The rock legend was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and died at the age of 76 on 22 July, surrounded by his family.
Ozzy Osbourne - the soundtrack to so many wonder years
Since his death, tributes have been pouring in from fans and friends around the world with thousands visiting the Black Sabbath Bench in the musician's home city of Birmingham to lay bouquets, wreaths, posters, balloons, candles, and cards.
The Osbourne family visited the bench in Broad Street last Wednesday to lay their own flowers as the singer's cortège passed through the city.
Kelly Osbourne, who starred in the 2000s reality series The Osbournes, shared a post on her Instagram story on Monday thanking fans for their support.
She said: "I've sat down to write this a hundred times and still don't know if the words will ever feel like enough... but 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. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.
"Grief is a strange thing - 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.
"I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind.
"Thank you for being there. I love you all so much. - Kelly #BirminghamForever #OzzyForever."
On Monday, Birmingham City Council gathered up the tributes to store them for the Osbourne family.
The council said: "In due course, they will be passed on to the Osbourne family, so they may keep them as a lasting reminder of the public's affection and support."
