Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack, was left in tears after he opened up about his father’s death on his YouTube channel this week. The Prince of Darkness passed away on July 22 aged 76, just weeks after he performed his final farewell show with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park in his Birmingham hometown.
While the Osbourne family previously posted their personal tributes to Ozzy, Jack, has now spoke in detail about his dad’s passing, including how he discovered the heavy metal icon had died whilst on the other side of the world. After Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning gig, which was attended by the Osbournes, Jack stayed with his family in the UK for a week.
He decided to return home to LA just days before Ozzy tragically fell ill and suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Ozzy’s death certificate later revealed that his cause of death was down to acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction (joint causes).
Jack has now spoken out on his YouTube channel bout how he received the devastating news and said there was “almost a perfection” around his father’s passing.

“He got to perform, I mean, there was so much accomplished before the full stop. And you know, a lot of that stuff when the time is right, you know, we’ll talk about
Jack continued: “Um, it’s been overwhelming ultimately, and one of the most, I think, for me, I know, I was shocked at the outpouring of love. I think it’s been beautiful.
“As I said earlier, it’s been validating to see that outpouring of love. People that sent cards and did posts, and whether they laid flowers at the Birmingham bridge or dropped them off at the house, we saw it all, we read all the letters.
“It didn’t go unnoticed and I speak for the family when I say this, we are so grateful for that and it meant so much and as I said earlier, it was validating as I know we’re not alone, it’s been a hard six weeks as a family, we’re navigating it alone and in our own ways.

“I think it’s common, and the price we pay for loving someone so much is grief, and it’s the pain of grief when they’re gone. I’m ok with that.”
Jack detailed that nine days after he returned to LA from the UK, he received a knock on the door from a family employee at around 3:45am on July 22.
He said: “I knew something bad had happened”.
Jack explained that the employee had informed him that Ozzy had died at home. However, he realised that despite his “many thoughts”, his father was no longer suffering from his long term illnesses.
However, Ozzy’s sudden passing the Osbourne’s had been expecting due to his good spirits in the days leading up to his death.
In a statement on the day of Ozzy’s death, the Osbourne family said: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.
“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis
