Kelly Osbourne to bankroll parents’ retirement
Kelly Osbourne wants to earn enough money to make sure her parents don’t have to work again.
The 29-year-old star insists her »shopaholic » mother Sharon, 62, and 65-year-old father Ozzy Osbourne – who are estimated to be worth £130 million – have had to cope with »too much s**t » to still have work late into their lives, so she has set her sights on bankrolling their retirement.
She said: »My dream is to make enough money doing what I love so that my parents never have to work again and I can look after them.
»They’ve been through too much s**t, it’s enough already. »
Kelly – who was recently left devastated when her ‘Fashion Police’ co-host Joan Rivers died aged 81 – joked her dad will be »with a Zimmer frame still on stage » if he can so she wants him to quit singing live.
The TV presenter paid tribute to her parents for giving her »so much » throughout her life and hopes they will go travelling around the world when they finally stop working.
Speaking to Fairfax Media, she added: »They run a huge business and I want eventually for them to be able to be that couple on a yacht travelling the world and not have to worry about anything, because they’ve given me so much. It’s time for us to look after them. »
The Osbournes have been through plenty of ups and downs in recent years not least when Jack Osbourne – Kelly’s younger brother – was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) two years ago.
What’s more, Ozzy nearly died in a quad bike accident in December 2003, and last year Sharon – who he has been married to since 1982 – walked out on him after he started drinking and abusing prescription drugs again.
But the ‘Talk’ host – who also has 31-year-old daughter Aimee with Ozzy – later took the Black Sabbath frontman back and admitted she only walked out to teach him a lesson and show she wasn’t »weak ».
