Kelly Osbourne Launches #StayHomeForOzzy Campaign Promoting Social Distancing

Ozzy Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne

Social distancing is one of the best ways to help reduce the fast spread of COVID-19, and it's something Kelly Osbourne is stressing in a new social media campaign.

In an Instagram post, Osbourne shares how important staying at home is especially for those over 60 with compromised immune systems. "I wish there was something I could say to comfort you all," wrote Osbourne. "Some wisdom I could drop on you to relieve you from the fear that surrounds us all right now. The truth is I am scared too. Both of my parents are high risk, especially my dad. If I would have known three weeks ago when I sent them off to Panama that that was gonna be the last time I got to hug and kiss them for a while… I would have held on a little longer. However, these are the sacrifices we must make."

Osbourne continued, "I stay home for my mum and dad. If you don't have anyone to stay home for I beg you #StayHomeForOzzy
help put a smile on my dad's face while he is in quarantine by posting a pic of your best Ozzy impersonation and #StayHomeForOzzy I love you all."

Well, you heard the woman. Record your best Ozzy impression and share it with the hashtag #StayHomeForOzzy. It'll help pass the time and make everyone's favorite Prince of Darkness smile. (Side note: Another thing you could do that would make Ozzy and yourself smile is check out his new album Ordinary Man, if you haven't already. It truly is a great album and his best studio effort in decades.)
