His family announced the news in an emotional statement, saying: "It is with sadness beyond words that we must announce that our beloved Ozzy passed away this morning. He was surrounded by his family and filled with love.

Ozzy is survived by his extended family, including his wife Sharon Osbourne and their three children: Aimee (41), Kelly (40), and Jack (39). He also has three children from his first marriage to Thelma Riley: Jessica (53), Louis (50), and an adopted son, Elliot Kingsley. Sharon and the children asked the media to respect their privacy during this difficult time.

Louis and Jessica, Ozzy's children from his first marriage, also shared their grief on social media. Louis changed his profile picture to a black square as a tribute to his father, while Jessica paid tribute with a photo of Ozzy and his best-known hit, "Crazy Train."

Osbourne's death has affected not only his family but also the music world. Many artists have expressed their condolences. Elton John called him a "true legend" and said he will miss him immensely. Metallica and other bands have also posted tributes to the influential musician.

In the years leading up to his death, Ozzy suffered greatly from various health problems, including Parkinson's disease and serious spinal injuries. His final performance was on July 5, 2025, at a farewell concert in Birmingham, where he played with his Black Sabbath bandmates.

Osbourne's death marks the end of an era for many fans of heavy metal and rock music, but his legacy will live on through his music and the impact he had on generations of artists.

Sharon

Following the death of Ozzy Osbourne on July 22, 2025, Sharon Osbourne is grieving, but she remains strong and tries to get through this difficult time. The two were married for over 40 years, and their relationship was marked by a mix of love, support, and adversity. Sharon has always been by Ozzy's side, especially during his Parkinson's disease and the many challenges they faced together.

As tributes pour in for Ozzy, Sharon reflects on their strong bond and the impact he had on her life. Shortly before his death, she was able to help him fulfill his final wish: to give a concert in Birmingham, where he gave his final performance with his bandmates despite his deteriorating health.

Following his passing, Sharon shared an emotional tribute, which deepens her grief over the loss of her partner. Ozzy's death also sparked discussions about their past conversations about a possible suicide pact in the event of serious illness. Sharon had always expressed support for these ideas, but after Ozzy's death, the focus is now more on her grief and their shared memories.

Sharon also continues to speak out about the profound impact his illness had on both of them and how they discussed those risks together in the past. Despite the emotional burden of the loss, she continues to cherish strong and loving memories of Ozzy, just as he always was for her.
