Jack Osbourne has recalled his father, Ozzy Osbourne's final hours before his death on July 22, 2025, revealing it "wasn't anything dramatic."
The 40-year-old admitted that the day was like any other during an appearance on Jamie Kennedy’s podcast Hate to Break It to Ya on Wednesday.
"It was a few days after I got back that he passed, and we were… Even the morning that he passed, it was like — it wasn’t anything dramatic at all,” Jack said.
"He was up, he was doing his thing, had some breakfast, and that was it."
While it was no secret that Ozzy was dealing with several health issues, he was diagnosed with Parkin 2 – a form of Parkinson's disease in 2019; his death was "a surprise for sure."
"Obviously, everyone knew he was sick, but it wasn't… He was really gearing up for the [Black Sabbath final] show, so he was exercising a lot and moving around. He was fired up," Jack explained.
"But yeah, we weren't expecting it to be as quick as it was. I just think he was done… I do think we have a choice, to a degree," he added.
Ozzy's official cause of death was listed as cardiac arrest, and contributing factors included Parkinson's disease.

Alongside Jack, Ozzy's wife, Sharon Osbourne, and daughter, Kelly Osbourne, have also spoken at length about the late Black Sabbath star since his death.
On February 28, Ozzy was honored with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the BRITs, with Sharon and Kelly taking to the stage to accept the award on his behalf.

"He came from a small working-class neighborhood in Birmingham. He rose to become one of the most recognizable and respected musicians of his life, and he was filled with extraordinarily wonderful high times but very, very real low times.

She continued: "We spent most of our lives touring the world. But Ozzy's heart never left England. Wherever we were in the world, he was always proud to be that working-class Brummie, and he never let anyone forget it.

So he may not be here, but he left us one amazing body of work that will never be forgotten by the country that made him."
