Kelly, 41, shed new light on her major move following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, during a wide-ranging interview.
Kelly Osbourne has opened up about the deeply personal reasons behind her decision to leave Los Angeles and relocate to the U.K. after spending nearly three decades in the U.S.
Kelly, 41, shed new light on her major move following the death of her father, Ozzy Osbourne, during a wide-ranging interview with Hello! magazine.
The TV personality, who recently split from her former fiancé, Sid Wilson, with whom she shares 3-year-old son Sid, admitted that despite spending much of her life on the West Coast, she has "never been a California girl."
"I have so many reasons to keep going. I’ve got my baby boy, and he makes me the happiest person in the world. Being home in the U.K. has changed a lot for me. It’s been great to be home, and making a life for me and my son where I can see he’s truly happy,” she said.
Kelly has also relished the opportunity to return to her roots, revealing that she is now able to send her son to the very same preschool she attended as a child.

Her child goes there, too. She’s a bit older than my son, but they’re best friends, too. They love each other," she shared.
But Kelly's decision to trade California for the U.K. wasn't driven by nostalgia alone.
She revealed that concerns about gun violence in the U.S. played a major role in her decision to raise her son across the pond.
“I don’t ever want to have to explain to my son what to do during a gun raid. That’s the realistic thing that you have to do in schools in America, and to me, that’s insanity,” she said.
Elsewhere in the interview, she got candid about the death of her father from coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease in 2025. He was 76.
Calling it the "hardest year of my life," she added, “I’ll never be the person I was before my father died. ... A part of me died, too. Everything is different. I’m different. Everything has changed, but it’s just taking it one day at a time and putting the pieces back together in a way that you think will work.”
His death came just a few months after it was revealed that he had quit his decadeslong home in the U.S. to return to his native England, where he performed his final farewell show just days before his death.
The Osbourne family announced the news of the Black Sabbath singer's death in a statement, which read, "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

Ozzy's death came just three weeks after he took to the stage for the final time alongside his Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell concert in the U.K. to the delight of the group's longtime fans.
Though his family had spent many years residing in the U.S., the rocker made no secret of his desire to spend the remainder of his life back home in the U.K. In 2022, he revealed that he and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, 73, were planning a return to their home country.
At the time, the singer said he had grown frustrated with his life in the "f---ing ridiculous" U.S., while also citing gun violence in the country as another reason for his desire to leave.
"Everything’s f---ing ridiculous [in America]. I’m fed up with people getting killed every day," he told The Observer. "God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert. ... It’s f---ing crazy."
However, the move was postponed after Ozzy faced several health setbacks that required him to remain in California for longer than he had hoped.
Just weeks before his death, it appeared that the Osbournes had officially bid farewell to America once and for all, with Sharon explaining to Planet Rock that her husband was finally able to relocate to their home in the U.K. in March 2025. She noted at the time that he was thrilled to be joining his Black Sabbath "brothers" just in time for their final onstage appearance together.
"He's coming over in March. His brothers [in Black Sabbath], he’s excited to be here with them," she shared in February, noting that his move would mark the couple's permanent relocation.
Nine months after his death, Sharon listed their sprawling $17 million Los Angeles mansion. The property, which is listed with Jonah Wilson and Josh Greer of Carolwood Estates, was snapped up by the Hollywood power couple in 2015 for $11.85 million.

(Tyler Hogan) The Osbournes attempted to offload the seven-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom property in 2022, listing it for $18 million. They lowered the price to $17.5 million, before taking it off the market altogether.
At the time, it was reported that the couple had chosen to part ways with the home amid their relocation back to the U.K., where the family owns an enormous estate in Buckinghamshire, where Sharon and Ozzy were said to be living when the rocker died in July 2025.
However, their listing agent Wilson told the Wall Street Journal that they ultimately decided against selling the home.
In April, Sharon made another attempt to offload the property, with her agents explaining to the outlet that, while she is continuing to split her time between the U.K. and L.A., she is using an apartment in California whenever she is on the West Coast.
While the property does not have quite the same level of fame as the Osbournes' former property in Beverly Hills—where they filmed their hit MTV reality series—it has had its own moment in the sun, serving as the backdrop for the couple's documentary, "Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home."
The property, which was built in the 1930s, spans 11,565 square feet and hit the market on April 6.
Before entering the home, guests are greeted with lush greenery and tall trees that surround the dwelling's white facade.
Once they step inside, they are met with an elegant foyer with a stylish wooden staircase, high ceilings, and a sparkling chandelier.
Listing agent Greer told the Wall Street Journal that Sharon and Ozzy spent several years restoring the property to its 1920s glory, and the movie theater still features many iconic nods to its Hollywood history: the signatures of many stars who have visited the home, including Elvis Presley, Mel Tormé, and Natalie Wood.
The living space is the perfect place for guests to lounge. It features a cozy fireplace, an elegant chandelier, and large windows that allow natural light to flood inside.
