Does "being proud of someone" imply ownership?

For example, if I say I am proud of my adult kids for something, am I taking away from their accomplishment? Or if I say I am proud of my uncle who was a Civil Rights era hero? I didn’t really do anything to contribute to their acts. Saying “I’m proud,” sounds a bit like you are taking personal credit. How else could one say it? Or am I overthinking this?
