Jack Osbourne has paid tribute to his late father Ozzy<\/a> via social media.<\/p>\n

On Instagram this morning (August 6), the 39-year-old, the youngest of Ozzy and his wife\/manager Sharon\u2019s three children, made his first public post since his father died at the age of 76 last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His short statement expresses both sadness at the Black Sabbath<\/a> singer\u2019s death and gratitude for having had him as a parent.<\/p>\n

He writes: \u201cI haven\u2019t really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father. My heart has hurt too much.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches. He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be a part of a very small group that got to call him \u2018Dad\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing. I think this quote best describes my father.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tribute comes with a compilation of videos and pictures depicting Ozzy and Jack together. Watch it below.<\/p>\n

Jack was born on November 8, 1985, and is Ozzy and Sharon\u2019s only son. His older sisters are Aimee (born 1983) and Kelly (1984).<\/p>\n

Along with Ozzy, Sharon and Kelly, Jack became a media personality when he starred in the hit reality TV series The Osbournes<\/a>, broadcast on MTV from 2002 to 2005. Its first season was the most-viewed series in the history of the channel.<\/p>\n

After the end of The Osbournes, Jack continued to host TV programmes, most notably Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie (2005\u20132009), which was broadcast on ITV 2 in the UK. He co-hosted the History Channel travel programme Ozzy & Jack\u2019s World Detour with his father from 2016 to 2018, and his parents appeared in his series The Osbournes Want To Believe, broadcast on The Travel Channel from 2020 to 2021.<\/p>\n

Ozzy died at his home in Buckinghamshire on July 22, 17 days after he played his retirement concer<\/a>t with his fellow Black Sabbath co-founders \u2013 guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward \u2013 at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham. His cause of death was later revealed to be cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

Jack \u2013 along with Sharon, Kelly and his half-brother Louis, from Ozzy\u2019s first marriage \u2013 appeared in public as Ozzy\u2019s funeral procession passed through Birmingham on July 30<\/a>. The singer had a private funeral later that day.<\/p>\n

Kelly paid tribute to her father and thanked his fans for their support<\/a> on Monday (August 3). She wrote in her Instagram stories: \u201cThe love, support, and beautiful messages I\u2019ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Osbourne has paid tribute to his late father Ozzy via social media.
