Kelly Osbourne wants to see you doing your best Ozzy Osbourne impersonation.
The reality star, 35, launched a lighthearted “#StayHomeForOzzy” campaign, which encourages fans to post a picture doing their best Ozzy. Kelly hopes the initiative will urge her followers to isolate themselves to protect the elderly and the at-risk population during the coronavirus pandemic.
“I wish there was something I could say to comfort you all. Some wisdom I could drop on you to relieve you from the fear that surrounds us all right now,” she captioned a photo of herself with a long purple wig and circle glasses. “The truth is I am scared too. Both of my parents [Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne] 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.”

She added, “However, these are the sacrifices we must make. 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.”
Just days after launching her campaign, Osbourne revealed she finally got to visit with her parents while keeping the recommended distance between them.
“Today was the first time I got to see my parents in almost 3 weeks,” she wrote to Instagram. “Even though I did not get to hug them… At this point I will take what I can get. They are doing well and are safe and sound for now. Thank you so much for your continued well wishes love and support. We will get through this together. I love you all 
stay safe.”
She also shared a text from Ozzy, who wrote, “It was so lovely seeing you today Toddles. It breaks my heart that I couldn’t give you a kiss and a hug.”
Earlier this year, the iconic rocker revealed he has been battling Parkinson’s disease since 2003.
“I’m not dying from Parkinson’s,” he told the L.A. Times last month. “I’ve been working with it most of my life. I’ve cheated death so many times.”

Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
Health officials caution against all international travel. Returning travellers are asked to self-isolate for 14 days in case they develop symptoms and to prevent spreading the virus to others.
Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out.
