FRAIL Ozzy Osbourne has been seen walking with a stick while being supported by his wife Sharon in Beverly Hills.
It’s the first time he’s been seen since the rocker’s daughter Kelly denied he was on his “deathbed”.
He spent 2019 in recovery after a near-fatal fall in February that left him unable to move the right side of his body.
The 71-year-old had just left hospital with bronchitis and pneumonia – as a result of flu complications – when he tripped over a rug and banged his head on the bedside table in the middle of the night.
It turned out metal bolts, used to reconstruct his collarbone after a serious quad-bike accident in 2003, had dislodged. In addition, his spinal cord was compressed.
Ozzy was forced to postpone his tour, leading to rumours he was at death’s door, which Kelly clamed was “utter bulls**t.”
The 35-year-old denied reports her famous father was dying, but admitted it had been a “tough year”.
Radar Online had quoted a source claiming Ozzy, 71, was “bedridden in agonizing pain and losing his marbles.”
The source said: “Ozzy is in chronic pain and begging to be put out of his misery!
“He’s in such bad shape that he didn’t even notice Sharon [Osbourne] wasn’t there.”
But Kelly insisted she spent the day “laughing” with her father on January 1.
The reality star said: “Today I had a wonderful start to 2020. I went out to lunch with my family. Then I spent the rest of the day laughing and hanging out with my dad.
“I come home to read sickening articles about my dad supposedly being on his ‘death bed’, sometimes the media makes me sick!
“It’s no secret that my dad has had a rough year when it comes to his health but come the F**k on, this is utter bulls**t.”
Just a week ago, Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, posted a picture of his family cozying up to the Prince of Darkness – and he seemed to be in great spirits.

Ozzy told his followers in a video on Twitter: “As you probably know or you may not know, at the beginning of this year I had a bad fall.
“I just screwed all the vertebrae in my neck and I had to have surgery. So I’ve got more nuts and bolts in my neck now than my car.”
He added: “I’m not dying. I am recovering. It’s just taking a little bit longer than everyone thought it would.”
