The music world is grieving the loss of a legend, Ozzy Osbourne, who died at 76. Yet, among the many tributes and expressions of sorrow, a touching video has appeared, revealing the simple, loving moments of his last days. This clip, posted by his youngest daughter, Kelly Osbourne, just two days before his passing, captures the famous Black Sabbath singer in a surprisingly down-to-earth way, surrounded by his family.
On a Sunday, Kelly Osbourne, who has over three million followers on Instagram, shared a short video that began with a cheerful “Good morning.” The camera then shifted to show her son, Sidney, focused on a tablet. After this brief look at her grandson, Kelly turned the camera toward Ozzy himself.
According to Page Six, he was wearing black Apple AirPods Max and was also busy with his own tablet. In a tender moment, Ozzy glanced up at the camera and asked, “Is that me?” Kelly then encouraged her father to say hello to her followers, which he did right away, clearly saying, “Good morning.” This sweet, unplanned interaction showed a deeply personal side of the musician, far different from his public image as the Prince of Darkness.
Ozzy Osbourne was just a grandpa in the end
This touching moment was shared just two days before Ozzy Osbourne’s family officially announced his death at 76. The statement, released to the public on a Tuesday, expressed deep sadness and mentioned that he was with his family and surrounded by love in his final moments.
The family also asked for privacy during this difficult time. The statement was signed by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, their three children (Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, Jack, 39), and his son Louis, 50, from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. Notably, his other two children with Thelma Riley, Elliot, 59, and Jessica, 45, were not included in this official announcement.
While the family’s statement did not reveal the cause of death for the five-time Grammy winner, an inside source shared some details about his final days. This source said that Ozzy was at peace in his last moments. The insider also mentioned that he spent his final days in England, a place he called home, and that he was surrounded by his family and the comfort of music. This detail highlights the quiet, personal nature of his farewell, rather than any grand or public goodbye.
The video, along with the details about his passing, shows a man who, despite his massive fame and a career that shaped rock music for generations, found comfort and normalcy in the love of his family. It reminds us of the universal human experience of family bonds, even for someone as legendary as Ozzy Osbourne.
The simple act of greeting his daughter’s followers, his quiet time with a tablet, and the presence of his grandson portray him not as a rock star, but as a grandfather and father enjoying the small, everyday moments that so many people treasure. This final glimpse serves as a powerful reminder that beyond the stage and the fame, he was, until the very end, an ordinary man, deeply loved and surrounded by his family’s affection.
