Ozzy Osbourne made a shock claim that his daughter Kelly is his favourite child during his interview with Rolling Stone.
Talking to the publication, the Prince Of Darkness, 77, who has six children in total, also admitted that their family reality show, The Osbournes, which aired from 2002-2005 ‘f****d up the kids.’
Ozzy said that today’s reality shows are all scripted but said that wasn’t the case for his show.
He said: ‘You could be watching it, and suddenly someone comes running through with a f***ing frying pan on fire. It was just normal for us — we’d swear, we’d cuss, and there’d be f***ing dog s**t everywhere.
‘That’s what we were really like. It all started to get a bit silly in season three, where they’d suggest stuff like taking us on a boating trip, and I just thought, ‘Oh, f**k off!’

Talking about the decision to end filming, Ozzy said: ‘We were asked to do another series, but the kids were f***ed up from it, I was f***ed up from it, and Sharon was going through cancer.
‘Rock’n’roll fame was one thing, but TV was just off the f***ing Richter scale.’
Ozzy has three children with Sharon – Aimee, 40, Kelly, 39 and Jack, 38.
Before that, Ozzy adopted his first wife, Thelma Mayfair’s son from a previous marriage, Elliot Kingsley, who is now aged 57.
They also had two children together: Louis and his older sister, Jessica Osbourne, who is an actress who appeared in Better Call Saul.

He said: ‘I can already see what’s he gonna be like. He’s gonna be a real proper little boy, poking sticks and setting fire to things. Just like I was!
‘We get on great, and it’s just f***ing wonderful. I never had a chance to see much of my kids growing up because I was always on the road. But being at home has allowed me to do that as a grandad, and little Sid is just f***ing great. He really is.
