(New York Post) Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Prince of Darkness and one of heavy metal’s most iconic voices, has died at 76.
He died “surrounded by love,” his family said in a statement to The Post shortly after his death on Tuesday.
“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,” the statement from his wife and four of his six kids said.
“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.”
News of Osbourne’s death comes more than five years after he announced his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis — and less than three weeks after his final show with Black Sabbath in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, England.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne.
One of the greatest rock stars in history, and a wonderful character. Truly one of the funniest people I’ve ever known. I once asked him what was the best moment of his life and he replied instantly: ‘Meeting Sharon.’ My heart breaks for her. 💔 pic.twitter.com/qY4Z5GQ3tC— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) July 22, 2025
“We’ve gone through some sh*t and back again… and we’re still together.”
