Last month, the family reflected on the loss of Ozzy during their first episode ofThe Osbournespodcast in more than a year.

The episode, which specifically honored the Black Sabbath performer's life and legacy, featured Sharon, Kelly andJack Osbourne.

"I never realized just how horrible grief is. I never knew I was capable of loving somebody so much and missing somebody so much," Kelly said tearfully at the time. "I just — I never thought there'd be a day where he wouldn't be here."

Sharon then asked, "But then how blessed are you to have had a dad like him?"

The television personality and author, who was married to Ozzy for 43 years, then discussed how her grief comes in "waves."

"I mean, I slept with you for the first two months so that you weren't on your own," said Kelly. "But then I felt like you needed some space."

The singer and actress then noted that she struggles with mornings.

"I wake up and for the first three seconds I feel normal," said Kelly at the time. "And then I remember everything. Mornings are the hardest for me. What is the morning? Because it happened in the morning. And I used to spend most of my time with Dad in the morning."

Kelly added that her dad would "hate" to see her crying.

"But it's just all I seem to find myself doing these days because I miss him so much," she said at the time.

Gillian Anderson confirms “X-Files” car crash was real, reveals other little accident in same scene

FOX Image Collection via Getty

Gillian Andersonhas revealed that not one, but two accidents occurred while she was shooting a very memorableX-Filesscene.

The actress confirmed that the car crash that happened behind her in the season 3 episode "War of the Coprophages" —andthat the moment right after when a man crashed intoher— were both real while visitingJimmy Kimmel Liveon Tuesday.

"Now, true or false: That was an actual accident that happened behind you?" hostJimmy Kimmelasked during their interview.

To which Anderson replied, "Yeah, it was."

When Kimmel asked if the people involved in the collision were part of the production team, Anderson revealed, "Yeah, I think it was the stuntmen."

Inspired by H. G. Wells'The War of the Worlds, "War of the Coprophages" saw Scully and Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) sent to investigate whether or not a swarm of killer cockroaches terrifying a small town are real bugs or robotic alien probes disguised as the creepy-crawlies.

While Anderson played it cool at the time, the Emmy winner added that she would have a very different reaction if an accident like that occurred behind her during a take today. "I mean, these days, I probably would've said, 'Oh my God, are you kidding me?'" she said. "But I just went on with it."

Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with ourEW Dispatch newsletter.

In addition to that accident, Kimmel pointed out that the scene featured a frantic man crashing into Scully as she enters the convenient store near the accident.

"That guy bumping into you, was that an accident or was that part of the deal?" he asked.

Anderson replied, "I think that was an accident."

Kimmel, a die-hardX-Filesfan, was delighted over the news. "Two accidents in one shot?" he remarked. "It's an X-File in and of itself!"

The late-night host also asked if the director of the episode, Kim Manners, was thrilled that Anderson chose to continue filming the scene instead of stopping. "That I can't remember," she confessed, "but I'm sure, because they got to keep it. And it adds tension to the scene, right?"

Released in 1993, theX-Fileswould go on to become a massive franchise that ran for nine seasons on Fox and also spawned multiple spinoffs and two films. It was later revived for an additional two seasons that aired on Fox from 2016 to 2018.

And the mysteries may not be over.SinnersandBlack Pantherdirector Ryan Coogler has confirmed that he is working on a reboot of the series — and Anderson has already been in touch with him about it.

"I spoke to [Coogler], and what I said was, 'If anyone were to do it, I think you are the perfect person, and best of luck,'" Anderson said onITV1'sThis Morningin May. She also told the filmmaker, "Call me."

Watch Anderson reflect on the dual season 3X-Filesaccidents in the clip above.

Lebanon 'far from' diplomatic normalization or economic relations with Israel, prime minister says

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon's prime minister said Wednesday that his country was "far from" diplomatic normalization or economic relations with Israel, despite a move toward direct negotiations between the two countries aimed at defusing tensions.

Prime Minister Nawaf Salam's comments to a small group of journalists in Beirut came in contradiction to a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel would send an envoy to talks with Lebanese diplomatic and economic officials, which he described as an "initial attempt to create a basis for relations and economic cooperation" between the two countries.

Lebanon and Israel both announced the appointment of civilian members to a previously military-only committee monitoring enforcement of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire that halted the latest war between Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah a year ago. The civilian members took part in Wednesday's meeting of the mechanism, alongside representatives of the U.S., France and the U.N. peacekeeping force known as UNIFIL.

Lebanon and Israel don't have diplomatic relations and have been officially in a state of war since 1948. The move to hold civilian talks appeared to be a step toward the direct bilateral talks between Israel and Lebanon that Washington has pushed for.

However, Salam said Lebanon that is still committed to the 2002 Arab peace plan that conditions normalization of diplomatic relations with Israel on the creation of a Palestinian state — a prospect to which Netanyahu's administration has been adamantly opposed.

"Economic relations would be part of such normalization, so then obviously anyone following the news would know that we are not there at all," Salam said.

A debate over weapons

His comments also come amid fears of a new escalation by Israel against Hezbollah in Lebanon. Since the November 2024 ceasefire, Israel has continued to launch near-daily attacks in Lebanon that it says aim to stop the group from rebuilding its capabilities after it suffering heavy blows in the recent war.

Lebanon has been deeply divided over calls for Hezbollah to disarm. In August, the Lebanese government announced a plan to consolidate all weapons in the hands of the state by the end of the year, but it later backed off of the deadline.

Hezbollah officials have said the group will not consider disarmament until Israel withdraws from all Lebanese territory and halts its attacks.

Salam said Lebanon is on track to implement the first phase of the disarmament plan - under which the Lebanese army should have a monopoly on arms in the area south of the Litani river, near the border with Israel - by the end of the year. The exception is several border points that Israeli forces are still occupying, he said.

The remaining phases of the five-phase plan, which would cover the rest of the country, currently "don't have a time frame," he said.

The lack of a firm timeline is unlikely to satisfy Israel, which has been threatening to escalate its military actions in Lebanon if Hezbollah is not fully disarmed.

Salam said that Lebanon had appointed a civilian representative to the ceasefire committee at the request of the U.S. and Israel.

"We are ready to negotiate with civilian participation," he said. "I hope that this will help defuse the tension."

A ceasefire with vague enforcement

Salam also said Lebanon is ready to put in place a "verification mechanism" to investigate alleged violations of the ceasefire.

The November 2024 agreement required Lebanon to stop armed groups from attacking Israel and Israel to halt "offensive" military actions in Lebanon. It said Israel and Lebanon can act in "self-defense," without elaborating.

Under the ceasefire agreement, both sides can report violations to the monitoring committee, but the deal is vague on enforcement.

In practice, Israel has largely taken enforcement into its own hands and has maintained that its ongoing strikes are in self-defense. Hezbollah has claimed one attack since the ceasefire.

Salam said that in many cases, Israel strikes without reporting violations via the monitoring committee.

"Clearly, we cannot we be responsible for information that wasn't shared with us," he said. He added that Lebanon is willing to have U.S. and French troops on the ground to investigate and verify reported violations.

Salam said that Israel should fully implement its part of the ceasefire by withdrawing from Lebanese territory and should release Lebanese citizens captured during and after the war and currently detained in Israel.

While he insisted that Hezbollah is required disarm under the ceasefire and in accordance with the plan adopted by the government, the Lebanese state's options appear to be limited if the group refuses to do so.

"We have lived civil war - civil wars - in Lebanon. I don't think anyone is tempted to repeat that," he said.

Meanwhile, the country is facing the end of UNIFIL's peacekeeping mandate in southern Lebanon, which expires in just over a year, leaving greater uncertainty over the situation in the border area.

Salam said he would be discussing "what will come post-UNIFIL" with a delegation of representatives of the U.N. Security Council that is set to visit Lebanon later this week.

Native American D-Day veteran Charles Shay dies at 101 in Normandy

PARIS, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Charles Norman Shay, a Native American veteran who was a 19-year-old U.S. Army medic when he landed ​off the Normandy coast on D-Day and helped save lives, died ‌at age 101 on Wednesday.

Shay died at his home near Caen in France's Normandy region, ‌his carer Marie-Pascale Legrand said.

Born on June 27, 1924, on the Penobscot Indian Island Reservation in Maine, Shay was among some 500 Native Americans who took part in the June 6, 1944 landings.

The assault marked a decisive stage ⁠in the liberation of Europe ‌from German forces in World War Two.

As a U.S. Army medic, he ran across the beach dozens of times, ‍dragging men out of the surf and patching up their wounds under heavy fire — actions for which he was awarded a Silver Star, three Bronze Stars, and ​France's Legion d'Honneur.

He moved to Normandy in 2017 and became a familiar ‌figure at annual commemorations, insisting he was no hero, only a soldier who did his duty. "We lost many men," he recalled in a 2019 interview marking the 75th anniversary of D-Day. "I had to blank it all off so I could concentrate on my mission."

"Normandy lost today one of its ⁠heroes and a keeper of memory," the ​Normandy Region said on X.

In later years, Shay ​worked for recognition of the role played by Native Americans during the war. His efforts bore fruit when a memorial ‍was erected to ⁠the Native Americans who fought on Omaha Beach at Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer. In Native folklore they are known as the boys from Turtle Island, so ⁠it features a large granite turtle.

Shay will be buried there, near the sands where ‌history changed course, local French media said.

Matthew Perry's Mom and Stepdad Keith Morrison Say His Doctor Is 'Culpable' in Fiery Letter: 'Those Greedy Jackals'

NEED TO KNOW

• Matthew Perry's mother and stepfather, Suzanne and Keith Morrison, and his father and stepmother, John and Debby Perry, have shared their grief in emotional victim impact letters ahead of the sentencing of Dr. Salvador Plasencia on Dec. 3

• In July, Plasencia pleaded guilty to distributing ketamine to the late Friends actor before he died

• The Morrisons said the pain of losing Perry is a "deep well" and called Plasencia "among the most culpable of all"

Matthew Perry's parents have shared emotional statements ahead of the sentencing of a doctor charged in connection with the actor'sdeathin October 2023.

In July,PEOPLE reportedthat Dr. Salvador Plasencia had formally pleaded guilty to distributing ketamine to Perry before he died. Plasencia —one of five people facing criminal charges in Perry's death—entered into a plea agreementthe previous month.

The new victim impact letters were submitted to the court ahead of the sentencing of Plasencia on Wednesday, Dec. 3, according toRolling Stone.

"How do you measure grief? Can you possibly provide any rational accounting? The bottom falling out? Yes, that," the letter written by Perry'smother, Suzanne Morrison, and his stepfather,Keith Morrison, reads, per the outlet.

"Here was a life so entwined with ours and held aloft sometimes with duct tape and bailing wire, with anything that might keep that big terrible thing from killing our first-born son, and our hearts with him," the letter continues. "And then those greedy jackals come out of the dark, and all the effort is for naught; it all crashes down."

The statement goes on to call Plasencia "among the most culpable of all,"  and says their pain is a "deep well" with no bottom in sight.

Plasencia's plea agreement stated that he distributed 20 vials of ketamine, ketamine lozenges and syringes to Perry and the actor's live-in personal assistant,Kenneth Iwamasa, between September 30, 2023, and October 12, 2023,ABC Newspreviously reported.

Perrydied on Oct. 28, 2023, from acute effects of ketamine, in addition to other contributing factors such as drowning, coronary artery disease and effects from buprenorphine, a medication used to treat opioid use disorder, according to his autopsy.

"His story moved so many people," the letter from theFriendsactor's mother and stepfather continues, perRolling Stone. "And he wanted, needed, deserved..a third act. It was ..in the planning. And then, those jackals."

"No one alive and in touch with the world at all could have been unaware of Matthew's struggles. But this doctor conspired to break his most important vows, repeatedly, sneaked through the night to meet his victim in secret,"  it adds. "For what, a few thousand dollars? So he could feed on the vulnerability of our son…and crow, as he did so, with that revealing question: 'I wonder how much this moron will pay. Let's find out.' Some things are very hard to understand."

Perry's father and stepmother, John and Debby Perry, also shared their grief in their victim impact letter. Writing that Plasencia "didn't deserve to hear" their feelings, John and Debby called the late actor "a warm, loving man who was to be our rock as we aged. An uncle to our grandchildren and the mountain his siblings could turn to. Our next patriarch."

"Matthew's recovery counted on you saying NO," they go on, seeming to address Plasencia directly.

"Your motives? I can't imagine. A doctor whose life is devoted to helping people? Whatever were you thinking? How long did you possibly see supplying Matthew countless doses without his death to eventually follow? Did you care? Did you think? How many more people have you harmed that we don't know about?" the letter continues, adding, "We ask the court to give you plenty of time to think about your actions by extending your sentence beyond the mandatory time."

PEOPLE previously reported that Plasencia could face up to 40 years in prison for the four counts of distribution of ketamine.

In August 2024, Plasencia and four other people werearrested on charges related to the actor's death.

Jasveen Sangha— referred to as "The Ketamine Queen" by federal prosecutors — was charged with several counts related to allegedly distributing ketamine. In August 2025, Sanghaagreed to a plea deal in connection with Perry's deathandpleaded guiltyon Sept. 3.

Sangha pleaded to one count of maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury, theAssociated Presspreviously reported. She is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 10.
