Kelly was scared mum Sharon would die

Talking to Cosmo, Kelly is quoted as saying: "I became my mum's nurse 24/7. I gave her injections and medicines when she had seizures. I even had a parking space at the hospital with my name on it. I thought I was going to lose her - it was awful.

"I used to wake up every morning and go, 'My mum is so stupid, she doesn't know anything'. Now I wake up and I go, 'Mum is so smart. Why didn't I listen to her when I was younger? She's the best mother - and friend - in the world and it makes me want to cry saying that. "

Kelly was badly hit by a second tragedy when dad Ozzy was almost killed

Just a year later in 2003, the 'Fashion Police' star was hit with another heart breaking revelation that her father, Ozzy Osbourne, had been involved in a quad-bike crash - which caused him to fracture eight ribs and a vertebra in his neck - so she nursed him back to health.

She explained: "He couldn't move from the neck down and was basically a paraplegic, so I slept on the floor by the side of his bed for four months. I brushed his teeth and washed his clothes, and every day we'd put on our swimsuits and I'd shower him.

"Not many people can say they've wiped their mother and father's arses more than they've wiped their own."
