Kelly Osbourne has hit back at the WWE and superstar Becky Lynch for a "disrespectful" promo that mentioned her late father, Ozzy.
The World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was at the BP Pulse Live arena in Birmingham for its latest episode of Raw on Monday, August 25.
During the episode, Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, who is originally from Ireland, went face-to-face with rival Nikki Bella.
Lynch, who is a "heel", a wrestling term for an on-screen villain, mentioned the late Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne, a promo that has not gone down well with his family.

Addressing Bella, Lynch said: "I am not wrestling in Birmingham. The only good thing that came out of here died a month ago.
"Ozzy Osbourne has the good sense to move to LA, a proper city.
"If I lived in Birmingham, I'd die too."
The promo has divided wrestling fans, with some thinking it was "too far".
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one said: "That was distasteful she really taking that heel work too far. Even Nikki looked dumbfounded at some of the things Becky be saying."

Another said: "I like Becky Lynch, but this was out of line. WWE and she need to apologise."
Others merely believed it was just Lynch, whose real name is Rebecca Quin, playing a character, with one saying: "I understand Kelly being upset, especially given her father just passed. However, Becky's just being a heel and getting heat."
A second fan said: "It is a wrestling angle, this has been done since the test of time for the heel to get heat on the town/city that they are in!"

Following the promo at last night's episode of Raw, Ozzy's daughter Kelly Osbourne took to social media to hit back.
"Shame on the WWE for allowing such things to be said about my father and his home."
Rocker Ozzy had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and died on July 22.

Last month, fans gathered alongside Osbourne’s family to pay tribute to the star as a funeral cortege travelled through Birmingham.
Sharon and the couple’s children could be seen wiping away tears when they arrived at the Black Sabbath bench, where thousands of tributes, balloons and flowers were left.
Musicians from Bostin Brass played Black Sabbath songs to accompany the cortege, and fans threw flowers at the hearse as it passed slowly through the city.
