Kelly Osbourne carries her pet pooch Polly as she stocks up on groceries

She’s been an advocate of social distancing as her father Ozzy Osbourne falls within the at risk category of those more vulnerable to COVID-19, after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

And Kelly Osbourne stepped out for some fresh air as she stocked up on some groceries with a pal in Los Angeles on Monday amid the global crisis.

The TV presenter, 35, opted for comfort in a sporty black ensemble as she carried her beloved pet pooch Polly during her casual outing.

‘Thank you so much Erica and everyone @wagsandwalks for all that you are doing to protect these precious fur balls. Especially during this crazy time. 

‘To anyone reading this that can… support for local shelter and foster a dog/cat as they are over loaded right now and need all the help they can get. Stay safe everyone. I love you all (don’t worry I did not drive like that with her it was just for the picture).’

Earlier in the month, she championed the fight against COVID-19 by creating the hashtag ‘stay home for Ozzy’ as she urged others to self-isolate.

The celebrity offspring highlighted that both her parents, rocker Ozzy, 71, and host Sharon, 67, ‘are at high risk’ because of their age, and stressed the importance of ‘making sacrifices’ to stop the spread of the virus.

Kelly shared the message alongside a snap of her holding up a ‘#StayHomeForOzzy’ card while sporting a lilac wig.

She addressed her two million followers: ‘I wish there was something I could say to comfort you all. Some wisdom I could drop on you to relive you from the fear that surrounds us all right now.’ 

Revealing she last saw her famous mother and father when she surprised them with a romantic trip to Panama, Kelly explained: ‘The truth is I am scared too. Both of my parents are high risk especially my dad. 

‘If I would have known 3 weeks ago when I sent them off to panama that that was gonna be the last time I got to hug and kiss them for a while… I would have held on a little longer.

‘However these are the sacrifices we must make. I stay home for my mum and dad. If you don’t have anyone to stay home for I beg you.

‘Help put a smile on my dads face while he is in quarantine by posting a pic of your best Ozzy impersonation and I love you all’, the former Australia’s Got Talent judge ended her statement. 

Coronavirus was classed a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) earlier this month, leading countries such as Italy, Spain and the UK to implement nationwide lockdowns.  

Social distancing, advised by the World Health Organisation (WHO), involves maintaining at least 1 metre (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone who coughs or sneezes, as the small liquid droplets sprayed could contain the virus.

People with underlying health issues are said to be at risk of struggling to recover from the virus.

In Los Angeles – where the Osbournes are currently based –  Governor Gavin Newsom has ordered Californians stay at home and to keep a safe distance from others. 

Around 1.4 million vulnerable people in Britain – where the couple are originally from – have been told to self-isolate as the death toll hit 335 in the UK as of Tuesday.

Parkinson’s causes muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, tremors, sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue, an impaired quality of life and can lead to severe disability. 

It is a progressive neurological condition that destroys cells in the part of the brain that controls movement.  

Black Sabbath’s Ozzy shocked fans when he revealed he has Parkinson’s in an emotional interview with his wife earlier this year. 

Speaking to Good Morning America, he admitted he could no longer hide his health struggles and that he is on a ‘whole host’ of medications to treat his nerve pain.

The common disease, he said, began when he suffered a fall last year and started experiencing nerve pain. 

Insisting he was ‘far from’ his deathbed – as had been misreported – the singer said he wanted to ‘own up’ to his condition for the sake of his fans. 

PARKINSON’S: THE INCURABLE NERVE DISEASE THAT AFFECTS MILLIONS

The number of people diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the UK is about 145,000, while the condition affects one million Americans a year. 

It causes muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, tremors, sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue, an impaired quality of life and can lead to severe disability.

It is a progressive neurological condition that destroys cells in the part of the brain that controls movement.

Sufferers are known to have diminished supplies of dopamine because nerve cells that make it have died.

There is currently no cure and no way of stopping the progression of the disease, but hundreds of scientific trials are underway to try and change that. 

In the US, physicians consider it largely one type of condition with various stages; young onset Parkinson’s or atypical Parkinson’s. 

In Europe, some doctors and researchers specify different types of the condition. 

Treatment is mostly made up of medication. In some cases, doctors perform Deep Brain Stimulation surgery to try to hit the nerves more directly.
