Overview

• Jack Osbourne says a longtime family employee knocked on his Los Angeles door at about 3:45 a.m. to tell him his father had died.
• He stayed in the UK for an extra week after Ozzy’s July 5 Black Sabbath show because his children fell ill, which gave them unexpected time together.
• Jack says he is grateful Ozzy is no longer suffering from declining health, though the timing of his death felt sudden to the family.
• Ozzy’s death certificate lists acute myocardial infarction and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s with autonomic dysfunction noted as joint causes.
• The family held a private funeral at their Buckinghamshire home and a Birmingham procession drew large crowds, as they preserve tributes and publicly push back on recent critical remarks.
