Kelly Osbourne made a playful homage to her father, Ozzy Osbourne, by sharing a delightful Halloween-themed video featuring her son. The clip, which has gone viral on TikTok, showcases nearly-three-year-old Sidney (whose father is Slipknot’s Sid Wilson) having a bit of fun with a stuffed bat. In the video, Sidney bites down on the head of the toy bat and pulls it off, all while sporting a big grin and accompanied by Ozzy’s iconic track “Crazy Train.”
Captioning the post with “Learned from the greatest, Papa!” Kelly clearly intended to evoke her father’s rock ‘n’ roll legacy in a light-hearted manner.

Commenters flocked to praise the wholesome nature of the video, many noting Sidney’s resemblance to his grandfather, Ozzy. One user remarked, “That smile he’s definitely a little Ozzy,” while another commented, “Before I even saw who posted this I thought, ‘He even looks like Ozzy.’”
Ozzy Osbourne’s Infamous Bat-Biting Incident
The inspiration behind Kelly’s playful video harkens back to one of Ozzy Osbourne’s most notorious moments. On January 20, 1982, during a concert at the Veterans Memorial Auditorium in Des Moines, Iowa, a fan threw a dead bat onto the stage. In a shocking turn of events, Ozzy bit into the bat, believing it to be rubber. As he later recounted in his 2009 memoir, I Am Ozzy, he was met with a disturbing surprise: “For a start, my mouth was instantly full of this warm, gloopy liquid, with the worst aftertaste you could ever imagine.”
Following the incident, Ozzy was rushed to the hospital to receive rabies shots, which he continued for the duration of the tour. Despite the discomfort, the event became a legendary part of his rock persona, leading to a playful continuation of the theme with his grandson’s stuffed bat antics.
