The Osbourne family is grieving the loss of rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, who died on Tuesday at age 76. While his declining health had been public knowledge for some time, sources close to the family say they are devastated and struggling to cope with his sudden passing. They have reportedly been unresponsive to communication since the news broke.
Family members have begun to publicly share their grief. Kelly Osbourne posted lyrics from “Changes,” the song she recorded with her father, on social media, expressing her sadness at losing her best friend.
An official statement released by Sharon Osbourne and other family members confirmed Ozzy’s passing and requested privacy. The statement expressed the family’s deep sorrow at their loss.
Ozzy had faced significant health challenges in recent years, including a Parkinson’s diagnosis revealed in 2020. His retirement announcement earlier this year led to what would be his final concert just weeks before his death—an unexpected farewell to a legendary career.
