Kelly Osbourne has penned a heartfelt birthday tribute for her father Ozzy, dubbing him her ‘hero’.

The singer shared a string of throwback snaps, showing off the Prince Of Darkness’s softer side.

One shows Ozzy, now 72, sitting with a young Kelly on her birthday, while another sees him giving the camera a sheepish look as she attempts to stick a dummy in his mouth.

‘Happy birthday Dadda!!!!!’ she wrote. ‘I watch you every day overcome the hugest obstacles.

‘Through all of this you have become an even better father to me and husband to mum. We are so lucky to have you.

‘To see how far you have come in the last year is insane. YOU ARE MY HERO. You are the real iron man. I love you dadda. I’m so proud to be your daughter 💜 ‘.

The Black Sabbath star was also recently pictured ahead of his birthday, rocking a ponytail and walking with a cane.

Over the past year, Ozzy has faced a string of health problems, including being diagnosed with Parkinson’s and suffering pneumonia.

Determined not to let his health woes stop him, Ozzy said that while, at times, he’s considered giving up music and retiring for good, he’s not going anywhere just yet.

‘I’ve thought about [retiring]. I sometimes think crazy thoughts like that,’ Ozzy said at the iHeart Radio ICONS with Ozzy Osbourne event earlier this year.

He added: ‘I cannot retire. I love you guys [his fans].’

Meanwhile, Kelly, 36, has had nothing but praise for her father, defending him against trolls.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the One Word singer said: ‘What you’re doing to him is disgusting. He has had spine surgery, he broke his f***ing neck, he has Parkinson’s, and he learned how to walk again.

‘And you’re pointing at him and saying, “Look how sickly you are” – you should be saying, “I can’t believe he’s walking again, look how amazing he is.” It’s disgusting.’
