Kelly Osbourne clapped back at Dee Snider following his comments about her late father, Ozzy Osbourne.
The Twisted Sister frontman, 71, had an exchange with a fan on X (formerly Twitter) about the late musician Lemmy Kilmister. This led to another user mentioning bassist Bob Daisley's claim to have written a brunch of lyrics for Black Sabbath's No More Tears album and was told they weren't needed.
Dee responded to the tweet by alleging Bob wrote all the lyrics and that Ozzy, who is the frontman of Black Sabbath, always had bassists pen his lyrics. This comes as Kelly posted pointed cryptic messages that appeared to be aimed at her ex-fiancé Sid Wilson, after he was fired from metal band Slipknot.

"'A load'? How about ALL the lyrics? Ozzy always had bass players write his lyrics. @geezerbutler wrote ALL of @BlackSabbath lyrics. Daisley wrote lyrics for the first two solo albums (I'm pretty sure he was paid to write on other records but not credited) & Lemmy wrote lyrics," Dee wrote on X on Wednesday, August 12.
Geezer Butler is an original member of Black Sabbath. He was known as the bassist and the primary lyricist of the rock band. Bob is known for collaborating with Ozzy and assisting in his solo band.

According to a 2010 interview on the Australian's musician website, he worked on six albums with the late Prince of Darkness. Bob was credited for co-writing Blizzard of Ozz (1980) and No Rest for the Wicked. (1988)
Kelly took to Instagram Stories to defend her father from Dee's songwriting allegation.
"My father's legacy as a musician, songwriter, singer and bandleader speaks for itself. His friends, those who worked with him, those who love him, and millions of fans around the world that still continue to buy his records know exactly what he meant what he contributed and what he leaves behind. His legacy will live on eternally," the 41-year-old wrote.

Kelly then made another post at her story where she spoke directly to Dee.
"@deesnider your last hit... not to age myself was the year I was born over 40 years ago," Kelly began in her lengthy post.

"There's something spectacularly classless about Dee Snider trying to diminish my father Ozzy Osbourne and his extraordinary abilities and achievements when he is no longer here to challenge his allegations," she added.

The former reality TV star mentioned that Dee doesn't know the "private reality" of her father's life and accused him of being a "delusional man with a vendetta against" Ozzy.
Kelly claimed from her knowledge that Dee and her father only meant once.
She then went on to compare their careers and legacy. Kelly said that Dee had "brief period of mainstream success more than 40 years ago," while her father's career "spanned nearly six decades."
She inquired if Dee's remark was a way to remain current as she claimed the music industry "moved on" from him decades ago but her father is still influential and globally relevant.

Dee addressed Kelly's response on X and clarified that he was not coming for Ozzy.
"And again. To be clear, I HAVE NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR OZZY. He was always lovely to me. @BlackSabbath changed my life! As a songwriter I can be a little touchy about credit and royalties," he wrote.
Kelly responded to Dee's recent tweet on her Instagram Story.
She called his response a "backhanded compliment" and claim he was using her dad's name for relevancy.

"A backhanded compliment dressed up as 'nothing but love,' followed-predictably-by another use of my father’s name to get yourself some attention," Kelly wrote.
She added, “Apparently the association is offensive when it comes to royalties, but remarkably convenient when the spotlight starts to fade."
"So, in the immortal spirit of Will Smith: keep my father’s name out of your f---ing mouth. You are nothing but yesterday's headline begging for tomorrow’s attention. Time to face reality it’s over dude! You’re just bitter old man. The past is over. No amount of attention-seeking will make you relevant to it again," Kelly concluded.
Ozzy passed away at the age of 76 from cardiac arrest, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction as contributing factors, on July 22.
