From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Kelly Osbourne has shared a photo of the moment she was able to visit her parents after weeks of separation during the coronavirus pandemic.

The daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne posted a picture of her parents sat around their pool to her Instagram account.

“Today was the first time I got to see my parents in almost 3 weeks!!! Even though i did not get to hug them…. at this point I will take what I can get,” the 35-year-old wrote.

“They are doing well and are [safe] and sound for now.”

At 71, Ozzy has an increased risk of becoming seriously ill from coronavirus. Families are currently being encouraged to practise social distancing to avoid passing the virus on to their older relatives.

She added: “Thank you so much for your continued well wishes love and support. We will get through this together. I love you all, stay safe.”

Osbourne also shared a text she got from her father after her visit, which read: “It was so loverly seeing you today Toddles it breaks my heart that I couldn’t give you a kiss and a hug.”

Ozzy Osbourne spoke about his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis last month, explaining that he has known about it since 2003 and that it is “not a death sentence”.

“The doctor told me that I probably walk by 10 people a day who have got it and don’t even know they’ve got it,” he told RADIO.com. “You don’t get a pimple on your forehead, you just start walking a bit funny I suppose.”
