During WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” from BP Pulse Live in Ozzy’s home city of Birmingham, England, Lynch, 38, brought up the Black Sabbath frontman as Nikki Bella challenged her to a fight in the ring.

“I am not wrestling in Birmingham,” said Lynch. “The only good thing that came out of here died a month ago.”

As the audience gasped, Lynch continued: “But in fairness to Ozzy Osbourne, he had the good sense to move to LA, a proper city. Because if I lived in Birmingham, I’d die too.”

Kelly responded to Lynch’s comment on her Instagram Stories Tuesday, calling the Irish wrestler “a disrespectful dirtbag.”

“Birmingham would not piss on you if you were on fire. “#birminghamforever,” Kelly wrote, while mistakenly tagging one of Lynch’s fan pages instead of her actual account.

“Shame on the @wwe for allowing such things to be said about my father and his home!!!!” Kelly added.

Lynch also faced backlash from critics for the joke.

“Bro becky did not just say that,” one fan wrote on YouTube.

“That one about ozzy ozzbourne, she said that with pure hatred,” another person wrote.

“As a diehard Ozzy fan I will never feel the same way about Becky Lynch again,” a different person wrote.

A fourth fan added, “Nah… Shouldn’t have mention Ozzy like that… mad disrespectful…”

The Post has reached out to Lynch’s rep and WWE for comment.

Ozzy died at age 76 on July 22.

Cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease were all listed as the causes of death.

The Prince of Darkness was laid to rest near the lake of his Buckinghamshire home on July 31. Around 110 people reportedly attended the private ceremony, including Ozzy’s family and members of the music industry.

The day before the ceremony, an emotional funeral procession took place through the streets of Birmingham.

Kelly, her mom Sharon, 72, and her siblings Jack, 39, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, attended the farewell. They all dressed in black and wore different items in Ozzy’s honor.

Kelly, for her part, sported a pair round wire-rimmed sunglasses — a nod to one of Ozzy’s signature styles.

After Ozzy’s death, Kelly shared a message on Instagram where she thanked fans for helping her get through “the hardest moment of my life.”

“Grief is a strange thing — it sneaks up on your in waves,” she penned. “I will not be OK for a while — but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference.”

“I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind,” Kelly added.
