Kelly Osbourne has spoken out against WWE star Becky Lynch after the wrestler made what she called an offensive joke about her late father, Ozzy Osbourne.
Kelly condemned the Irish wrestler for making a tasteless remark about the former Black Sabbath frontman and his hometown of Birmingham, England, earlier this week.
During a live appearance in the city on Monday, Lynch, 38, cracked a joke referencing the rock legend’s death.
“The only good thing that came outta here died a month ago,” she said. “But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to L.A. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I’d die too.”
Kelly, 40, responded the next day on Instagram, calling the comments “disrespectful.”
“Becky Lynch, you are a disrespectful dirtbag!” she wrote. “Birmingham would not p**s on you if you were on fire.”
She added, “Shame on the WWE for allowing such things to be said about my father and his home!”
Ozzy died on July 22 at the age of 76, just weeks after taking the stage with Black Sabbath one last time at Villa Park in his hometown on July 5.
A public funeral procession was held in the city centre on July 30, followed by his burial on the grounds of his home in England.
Not long after the funeral, Kelly posted a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, admitting that she was facing the “hardest moment of her life.”
“Grief is a strange thing; it sneaks up on you in waves. I will not be ok for a while, but knowing my family is not alone in our pain makes a difference,” she wrote. “I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind.”

Fans and the city of Atlanta have come together to honor Rich Homie Quan in a meaningful way. The Trap Music Museum has opened a new exhibit that celebrates the rapper’s life and musical legacy nearly a year after his passing at the age of 34.
The display is now open to visitors and reflects Quan’s deep influence on Southern hip-hop and the city that helped shape his career. His family joined the unveiling over the weekend, taking in the emotional tribute.
“I’m ecstatic, sad that it has to be this way, but grateful for him to be acknowledged,” Quan's father Corey Lamar shared with WGXA News. “It’s a feeling I don’t wish on any other parent,” he continued. “Not only my son, but my best friend — not only my best friend, but my business partner. We had a great relationship, father and son. Quan didn’t make moves without me, and I didn’t make moves without him.”
In addition, the City of Atlanta has paid its respects to the rapper with three official proclamations. Two of them are named Rich Homie Quan Day and Rich in Spirit Day, recognizing his impact on music and culture. His final project, Legacy of Hits, was released after his death with the support of his team.
Born and raised in Atlanta, Rich Homie Quan (real name Dequantes Devontay Lamar) was a defining figure in the city’s music scene. He rose to national attention in the early 2010s with songs like “Type of Way” and “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh).” His collaboration on Rich Gang’s hit “Lifestyle” with Young Thug further solidified his influence in shaping the Atlanta sound.
Quan died on September 5, 2024. His girlfriend Amber Williams was the person who made the 911 call. The autopsy revealed that his death resulted from a combination of fentanyl, alprazolam, codeine, and promethazine. Authorities determined it to be accidental.
The Trap Music Museum’s exhibit now stands as a powerful tribute to Rich Homie Quan’s legacy. It is a celebration of an artist who helped define an era of Atlanta hip-hop and whose music continues to inspire. The dedication to remembering his life and contributions shows the lasting mark he left on both his community and the culture.
