"Jack Osbourne expresses heartfelt gratitude for being among a select few to address Ozzy as 'Dad', in an emotional social media tribute to the late musician"
Jack Osbourne Pays Emotional Tribute to Late Father Ozzy
Jack Osbourne, the only son of the iconic heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne, recently paid tribute to his father via social media, following his death on July 22, 2025. The cause of Ozzy's death was cardiac arrest, and he passed away 17 days after his retirement concert with Black Sabbath co-founders.
In a heartfelt post, Jack expressed that his heart was full of sadness, sorrow, love, and gratitude. He quoted a statement that he believes best describes his father: "Prince of Darkness, Rock 'n' Roll Legend, and my Dad."
The post, accompanied by a video montage set to Ozzy's song "So Tired," was Jack's first public message since his father's death at the age of 76 last month. Jack explained that he had not felt like posting anything since his father's passing, but he kept the message short because Ozzy "hated long rambling speeches."
The video montage, titled "Some Memories of My Father," opened with childhood footage of Jack and highlighted memorable moments with Ozzy. It was a poignant reminder of the close bond between father and son.
Born on November 8, 1985, Jack is the youngest of Sharon Osbourne's three children, with older sisters Aimee (born 1983) and Kelly (1984). The Osbourne family gained worldwide fame when they starred in the hit reality TV series "The Osbournes," broadcast on MTV from 2002 to 2005. After the show, Jack continued to host TV programs, including "Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie" and "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour."
At Ozzy's funeral procession in Birmingham on July 30, Jack, Sharon, Kelly, and Louis were seen in public, paying their respects to the music legend. This final farewell marked the end of an era, but the memories and impact of Ozzy Osbourne will live on.
