Stranger contacts Osbourne family claiming to be Ozzy’s secret child. What she includes with her letter crosses every line

Sharon Osbourne and her children have been getting some really strange messages after Ozzy Osbourne died. They talked about these weird experiences on their family podcast called The Osbournes. The rock star passed away in July when he was 76 years old.

According to The Sun, a woman has been reaching out to the family because she thinks Ozzy is her father. Kelly Osbourne, who is 41, said on the podcast that several people have contacted them with odd claims. “We’ve had quite a few nutters coming out of the woodwork saying that they’re speaking to dad from the grave,” Kelly explained.

Things got really strange when this woman decided to send something shocking to the family. Kelly said the package had things that no one should ever mail to another person. “It was a toenail, some blood, hair, because she’s absolutely convinced that she is dad’s child,” Kelly told listeners. Sharon explained that the woman got this idea because “her mom told her” that Ozzy was her real father.

This is beyond weird and honestly quite disturbing

The family tried to laugh about the whole thing even though it was pretty creepy. Jack Osbourne, who is 40, had not heard about this package before the podcast recording. When his sister told him about it, he made a joke. “So we need to do a DNA test? Oh, this is so exciting! We have a new sibling,” he said while they were talking.

Sharon, who is 73 years old, said this kind of thing happens when you are famous. She told Kelly that she has to accept that “there’s always a group of people, the fanatics, the nutters, the this, that will always come out.” Even with these weird messages, Sharon said most people have been very kind and supportive.

Kelly also talked about what really upsets her the most. She said that when people pretend they can talk to her dad after he died, it makes her angry. She called it “severely inappropriate” and said those people need to stop.

Ozzy died at his home in England on July 22 after having a heart attack. The Black Sabbath frontman had been sick with Parkinson’s disease for many years. He died only two weeks after doing his last concert in Birmingham.

The family got together to record their podcast in November without Ozzy for the first time. Sharon talked about how hard it has been for her to deal with his death. She said sleeping alone is very difficult for her now. 

Sharon also shared that she made a promise to Ozzy before he died that she would never date anyone else. The family is still trying to cope with losing him while also dealing with real support from fans and strange claims from people they don’t know. His former Black Sabbath bandmates have also paid tribute to the legendary rocker.
