Kelly Osbourne is sharing heartfelt insights about her brother Jack’s transformative experience on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. The reality show, filmed in the Australian jungle, is helping Jack grow in ways Kelly describes as truly positive.
On December 3, Kelly was in Birmingham to accept the Lord Mayor’s Award posthumously honoring their late father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who would have turned 77 that day. This marks the first family birthday without Ozzy since his passing in July, a loss deeply felt by all.
While Jack is currently navigating the challenges of the jungle on the show, Kelly revealed the emotional toll of his absence on such a significant day. Speaking to BirminghamLive, Kelly shared, “It’s so hard not having Jack around. I posted on Instagram about how on today, of all days—Dad’s birthday and when he’s receiving this award—Jack isn’t here. I can’t talk to him or get a cuddle. It’s so difficult.”

Despite the pain, Kelly finds solace in the personal growth Jack is undergoing thanks to the show. “I know why he’s on this path right now,” she said. “The timing of the show is perfect for him to focus on himself and moving forward. Every episode, I see him becoming a greater and greater man.”
During the ceremony at Birmingham’s Council House, Kelly also shared a touching letter Ozzy wrote to Lord Mayor Coun Zafar Iqbal MBE just days before his final concert and only weeks before his death. The letter reflects Ozzy’s struggles, his heartfelt connection to Birmingham, and his deep gratitude.
Kelly’s emotional visit not only honored her father’s legacy but also highlighted the healing journey of her family, especially Jack’s ongoing transformation in the jungle.
