Ozzy Osbourne might’ve been going through changes, but luckily, he had his daughter by his side.
Days before the Black Sabbath frontman died following a yearslong battle with Parkinson’s disease, Kelly Osbourne shared a glimpse into a sweet moment with her dad.
Indeed, the Osbournes alum posted a video on her Instagram Stories July 20 of her at the dining table with Ozzy, per TMZ. As she shows her and Sid Wilson’s 2-year-old son Sidney, she says, “Good morning!”
The youngest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne pans over to her dad and tells him, “Dada, say good morning!” The “Iron Man” singer, donning a black T-shirt and headphones, enthusiastically replies back, “Good morning!”
The clip, which appears to be the last public video of the singer, was shared two days before the Osbourne family—including his kids Kelly, Aimee Osbourne, Jack Osbourne, Louis Osbourne and Jessica Osbourne—confirmed Ozzy’s death.
“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,” his family said in a statement shared with E! News. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
Prior to the singer’s death at 76 years old, Ozzy had been struggling physically as his illness progressed, according to his older sisters, who attended Black Sabbath’s farewell show at England’s Villa Park July 5.
“It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes,” Jean Powell, 85, told The Mirror in an interview with sister Gillian Hemming published July 23. “He was frail, but it still came as a shock. He still had plans and things he wanted to do.”
For Ozzy’s sisters, seeing the tributes from fans and other stars was surreal.
“To us, he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it’s crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced,” she reflected. “He was just our John.”
From musical artists like Metallica and Pearl Jam, to stars like Jason Mamoa and Josh Brolin, celebrities expressed their condolences to the Osbourne family.
Elton John described the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee as “a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods.”
“A true legend,” he wrote on Instagram July 22. “He was also one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love.”
