Kelly Osbourne: Uncle Elton John is a treasure

Presenter says singing legend is always there for her family

Kelly Osbourne is close to Sir Elton John and David Furnish

Kelly Osbourne has spoken of her affection for Elton John and his husband David Furnish.

The TV presenter says the couple have always been there for her and the rest of the Osbourne family - Sharon, Ozzy and Jack.

‘Through everything – when mum had cancer and dad had his accident – they’re the only ones that hung around to make sure we were all right,’ she says.

‘They’re true family friends. I don’t think there’s anything I could do to repay them for what they’ve done for us.’

Kelly, 24, says she never gets star struck around the singing legend as she's always been surrounded by famous faces.

‘It really isn’t weird to me,’ she tells Celebs On Sunday. ‘He’s Uncle Elton.

‘I guess growing up surrounded by people in the music industry made me judge people as I find them. Everyone is the same really.’
