Kelly Osbourne has lamented the fact that "Christmas will never be the same" following the death of her father Ozzy Osbourne.
The 41-year-old, who lives in the U.S., will be spending her first Christmas without the Black Sabbath rocker with her mum Sharon Osbourne, older half-brother Louis, her partner Sid Wilson and their three-year-old son Sidney.
Reflecting on the upcoming holiday, Kelly told the Mirror, "Christmas will never be the same... I will never be the same. The person I was before he died does not exist anymore. It changes you. He was magical. There is no one like him."
While the rocker "was a Scrooge" who "tried to ruin Christmas every year", the Osbournes will be spending Christmas Day sharing their favourite memories of Ozzy around the table.
"I never ever want my son to forget his Pappa," she said. "Just how special he was, or is, because I don't believe he's truly gone."
Sharing further details about their celebrations, Kelly added, "(Louis is) head chef because he's the best at cooking. We're having a big turkey, and then the day after, we are going to a fancy restaurant somewhere, I'm not saying where! Somewhere lovely and have even more celebrations."
The TV personality assured the journalist that her mum Sharon is "doing really well", given the circumstances, and noted that the 73-year-old has no plans to leave the U.K. as Ozzy was laid to rest there.
Kelly revealed that she will return to the U.S. after Christmas and split her time between both countries.
"Home will always be Britain. This is where we are from. I go between here and my farm in Iowa in the Midwest," she explained. "Never thought I'd become a Midwestern girl. I'm going back just after Christmas for New Year. I miss my cows and my chickens and my ducks. That will be healing for me."
Over the weekend, Kelly and Sid's son served as one of the mascots for the Aston Villa football team before their match against Manchester United. Ozzy grew up in Aston, Birmingham and delivered his last performance at the club's stadium, Villa Park, in July.
He died later that month at the age of 76.
