Ozzy Osbourne is still making his presence known.
The late Black Sabbath rocker—who died July 22 from a heart attack at the age of 76—made a posthumous appearance alongside daughter Kelly Osbourne on the Sept. 8 episode of Lego Masters Jr.
During the episode, Ozzy suddenly appeared on the big screen above the kid contestants and said, “Hi, kids!” before Kelly greeted him.
“Hi Dad!” the 40-year-old said. “We need someone to scare a few of the kids. Would you mind?”
The Osbournes alum, wearing all black and gold jewelry, eagerly agreed.
“I’d love to!” Ozzy said. “One hour left, kids! You’ve got one hour left to finish those builds! Or else.”
After giving a maniacal laugh as the lights turned red and the contestants got back to work, Kelly expressed her gratitude for her father making the effort to make a surprise appearance on her show.
“Thank you, Daddy!” she gushed. “That was perfect. We love you!”
And, with that, Ozzy signed off, but not before sending one more message to the Lego Masters hopefuls, saying, “Good luck, kids!”
While this was the rocker’s first posthumous appearance, it’s not the first message of his to come out after his passing. His wife Sharon Osbourne—who shares Kelly, as well as Aimee Osbourne, 41, and Jack Osbourne, 39, with Ozzy—recently revealed what he told her before his final show with Black Sabbath July 5.
“He turned around and he said to me that night, he said, ‘I had no idea that so many people liked me,’” Sharon told Pollstar in an interview published Aug. 5, but conducted on July 17. “Ozzy’s always been in his own bubble.”
But Sharon herself wasn’t surprised by the reaction of the crowd, of course, adding, “Oh my God, the metal fans are the most loyal fans in the world! When they’re a fan, you’ve got them for life. They don’t go anywhere.”
