Speaking of his health issues, Ozzy’s son added: “Listen, everyone gets old, everyone slows down as you age – it’s part of the journey. I just try and support him as much as I can. We all do.”
Jack admits that the whole Osbourne family had become emotional watching Ozzu “doing his job” at Villa Park, with the family tearing up. He said that people had been reaching out to the family, showing all kinds of love for the legend.
It was announced on Tuesday that after years of battling ill health, Ozzy had died at the age of 76. A statement from the Osbourne family read: “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.” It’s claimed that Ozzy’s health had rapidly deteriorated on Tuesday morning, with an air ambulance being sent to his home in Buckinghamshire, where paramedics spent hours attempting to save him.
A local resident said they became alarmed after noticing the helicopter in the quiet village and saw it landing close to Ozzy and Sharon’s mansion.
