Jack Osbourne names his daughter Ozzy after his late father | Ozzy Osborne


Jack Osbourne, the only child of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, has honored his late father by naming his daughter after him.

Jack, 40, announced the birth of Ozzy Matilda Osbourne on social media alongside his wife, Aree, whom he married in 2023. The newborn Ozzy was photographed lying next to a stuffed bat – another reference to his father, who ripped the head off a real bat during a 1982 concert, believing it was made of rubber.

Osbourne’s father died in July 2025, 17 days after a farewell concert for his pioneering heavy metal group Black Sabbath.

High-profile tributes have been paid to him during this year’s awards season. At the Grammy Awards, a supergroup featuring Post Malone on vocals, plus Andrew Watt, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan and Slash performed Black Sabbath’s War Pigs. Sharon, Jack and Kelly Osbourne were in the audience.

Then, at the Brit Awards, Robbie Williams sang Osbourne’s solo hit No More Tears, backed by a band that included Metallica’s Robert Trujillo and veteran Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde.

Sharon and Kelly introduced the performance with a spoken-word tribute to Ozzy, whom Sharon called “authentic, talented, totally unpredictable, a wild man, a true artist…he was the most humble egomaniac you’ll ever meet.”

Jack and Kelly first became famous on the reality show The Osbournes, a series that followed their dysfunctional but heartwarming family dynamic, with Ozzy frequently bewildered by the events unfolding around him.

Kelly launched her own music career, scoring three Top 10 singles in the UK, including a number one duet with her father, reworking her previous Black Sabbath ballad, Changes.

Jack continued in reality TV, hosting five series of the outdoor chase show Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie and appearing with his father on three seasons of the travelogue Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour. In 2011 he produced a documentary about his father titled God Bless Ozzy Osbourne.

In November 2025, Jack was one of the contestants on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, finishing in sixth place.
