Kelly Osbourne has shared that her dad Ozzy Osbourne is "doing really good" following his Parkinson's diagnosis.

The reality TV star reassured fans of the rock legend during a chat with Enterainment Tonight, noting all of the "mind-blowing" progress he's been making since receiving just one stem cell treatment in Panama earlier this year.

"He wants to get up. He wants to do things. He wants to be part of the world again," Kelly explained. "He's walking better. He's talking better.

"His symptoms are lessening. He is building the muscle strength back that he needs after his spine surgery."

The 35-year-old went on to add that Ozzy is finding himself "frustrated" due to having to stay at home amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

"He's ready to get out of the house and now he can't get out of the house. He keeps saying to me, 'I've been on quarantine for almost two years, and now I'm feeling better and the world is on quarantine.'"

Kelly admitted to having her own struggles when it comes to self-isolating and social distancing, too.

She detailed how difficult it is to be apart from her Prince of Darkness dad and mum Sharon as the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread, because she's used to spending every day with them.

"I did have a cry yesterday because I miss my parents and I'm really close with them," she said.

"I've spent pretty much every day in the last year with my dad, and not being able to see him is hard."
