Kelly Osbourne has got a tattoo of a bumble bee in honour of her late friend Joan Rivers.
The
'Fashion Police' presenter took to her Instagram account to post a
picture of herself being inked with the design by tattooist Mark Mahoney
at the Shamrock Social Club in Hollywood - a tattoo parlour favoured by
celebrities - and posted a heartfelt message in tribute to her late
co-host, who died last month aged 81.
She
wrote: ''In honor of you @joanrivers...''If you looked at aerodynamics,
at science, the bumble bee should not be able to fly. Physically, it
was just not anatomically equipped to soar. Yet it did, defying gravity,
defying logic. The bee was a creature that defied and beat the odds, a
miracle.'' Thank you for being my Miracle@joanrivers. (sic)''
Kelly's
idea to get a bumble bee tattooed on her right shoulder is a direct
reference to Joan as a bee pin was the signature design in the late
comedienne's jewellery line.
Joan often talked about her fascination with the insects, including the quote Kelly posted on her social networking site.
The
29-year-old star was left devastated following Joan's passing and
recently admitted she was keen to adopt her dogs, a Havanese, a Japanese
Chin, a Jack Russell terrier and a border collie.
Kelly's
inking comes just one day after actress Zelda Williams headed to the
Shamrock Social Club to get a tattoo of a humming bird on her right hand
in tribute to her late father Robin Williams, who took his own life in
August.
