Kelly Osbourne, the daughter of Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ozzy Osbourne, bashed WWE and its Women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch for referencing her father during the live broadcast of RAW from his hometown of Birmingham, England, Monday (August 25) night.

"You are a disrespectful dirtbag! Birmingham would not piss on you if you were on fire. #Birminghamforever shame on the @wwe for allowing such things to be said about my father and his home!!!" Osbourne wrote on her Instagram Story, though mistakenly tagging a fan account instead of Lynch.

Lynch, who is a heel character, refused to defend her title against Nikki Bella in Birmingham Monday night, instead setting up a match for the upcoming Clash In Paris premium live event and referencing Osbourne's recent death as a way to get heat on the local crowd.

"I'm not wrestling in Birmingham. The only good thing that came out of here died a month ago. But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to LA, a proper city. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I'd die too," Lynch said during the segment.

WWE clipped the line from its post on X, however, it was included in the YouTube video shared above. Osbourne, who had made several appearances on WWE television, lent his songs to several premium live events and was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame, died in July from what was officially ruled a heart attack following years of health complications.
