As the world mourns Liam Payne’s passing, Kelly Osbourne has revealed that she spoke with the former One Direction singer shortly before he died. The well-known TV personality shared her thoughts with Us Weekly, stating that Payne’s death “absolutely breaks my heart.”
During her conversation, Osbourne mentioned that Payne “was in a good place” at the time of their talk, adding, “He was checking on me to make sure that I was OK.” She expressed sorrow, saying, “The fact that there was nobody there for him just absolutely breaks my heart.”
Payne passed away on Wednesday, October 16, after falling from his third-floor room at the Casa Sur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Officials later confirmed that an investigation found he had jumped from the balcony.
Following his death, Payne’s sister Nicola paid tribute to him, stating, “When I saw the news pop up on my phone that you had left us I went cold, I wanted so much for this to be untrue.” She continued, “I have spent days hoping that it was a mistake and somebody has got it wrong. You were truly too good for this earth, you are an angel who just lived for making people smile and happy.”
At the time of his passing, Payne was not married but left behind a son named Bear, whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend Cheryl Ann Tweedy.
