The Black Sabbath lead singer passed away at the age of 76 last Tuesday, with today’s procession coming before his full funeral ceremony tomorrow.
Kelly could be seen comforting mum Sharon, 72, as the tearful family laid flowers at a memorial.
Sharon was also supported by son Jack, 39, and daughter Aimee, 41, as well as Ozzy’s son Louis, 50, as the family followed behind the music legend’s hearse through the streets of Birmingham.
Thousands of fans lined the streets for the funeral procession, many of whom donned Black Sabbath gear and memorabilia dedicated to Ozzy.
In touching scenes, Sharon, aided by Kelly to her left and Jack to her right, slowly walked towards the memorial created by fans at Black Sabbath Bridge.
Kelly hugged and comforted her mum as she fought back tears of her own.
Tearfully, she waved to the crowds before also embracing brother Jack.
Kelly was supported by fiance Sid Wilson, who proposed to her backstage at Ozzy’s final gig in the city earlier this month.
The rock legend witnessed the sweet proposal just 17 days before his death.
As his funeral procession made its way through the city, fans could be heard shouting: “Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy”.

A visibly emotional Sharon could also be seen hugging the Lord Mayor of Birmingham Zafar Iqbal after she arrived at the Black Sabbath bench where floral tributes were laid.
The hearse carrying Ozzy’s coffin passed the rock star’s childhood home in Lodge Road, Aston, at about 12.45pm on its route into Birmingham city centre.
Flowers were placed outside the terraced property, close to Villa Park, while the owners of the house put up a picture of Osbourne in the front bay window.
The Jaguar hearse and six Mercedes funeral cars, accompanied by police motorcycle riders and a cop car, drove slowly along Lodge Road, watched by a handful of fans and the current owner of the house.
The hearse, adorned with purple flowers spelling out “Ozzy”, then made its way down Broad Street before stopping at the Black Sabbath bench.
Musicians from Bostin Brass played Black Sabbath songs to accompany the cortege.
