Kelly Osbourne’s Toddler Pays Halloween Tribute to Grandpa Ozzy with Bat Moment
Halloween 2025 brought both smiles and tears for fans of the Osbourne family after Kelly Osbourne shared a lighthearted — yet unexpectedly emotional — Instagram video featuring her young son.
In the short clip, her toddler appeared dressed in a tiny black skeleton costume paired with red cowboy boots, clutching a plush bat toy and pretending to bite its head off. The playful moment instantly reminded viewers of one of the most infamous — and misunderstood — stories in rock history.
Decades ago, during a live concert, Ozzy Osbourne famously bit the head off what he believed to be a fake bat thrown onto the stage. The shocking incident became a defining moment in rock mythology, forever linking the “Prince of Darkness” to one of music’s wildest legends.
When Kelly’s son mimicked that act in innocent fun, her followers immediately noticed the connection. The comment section filled with heartfelt and nostalgic reactions, with fans quick to point out the resemblance between the little boy and his legendary grandfather.
One person wrote, “such an Ozzy Osbourne thing to do [sic],” while another commented, “He has his grandpas smile 🦇🥹🖤🎃 [sic].” Dozens more echoed the sentiment, calling the toddler “JUST LIKE GRANDPA 🖤🖤🖤🦇🦇🦇.”
Many fans affectionately referred to him as “Lil’ Ozzy,” marveling at how much he looked like the rock icon in his younger years. Comments poured in, such as, “Awe he has ozzy’s eyes [sic]. Looks like him. So cute,” and “Omg Ozzy’s TWIN!!! 👯.”
Others saw it as more than coincidence, writing, “The baby boy is the spitting image of… wait… was Ozzy reincarnated?” and “Like grandfather .. Like grandson ❤️❤️[sic].”
While it began as a Halloween moment meant for fun, the post soon became an emotional tribute — a symbol of how deeply Ozzy’s legacy continues to live on through his family.
