Ozzy Osbourne’s grandkids are growing up with memories that capture the warmth behind his heavy metal persona. After the legendary rocker’s death on July 22, his son Jack Osbourne shared an emotional Instagram tribute, offering fans a glimpse of the private family moments that meant the most. “My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude,” Jack wrote, describing what it meant to call the iconic musician “Dad.”
According to People, the tribute featured a touching video compilation, including unseen clips of Ozzy with Jack’s children—Pearl, 13; Andy, 10; Minnie, 7; and Maple, 3. These images revealed a side of the star the public rarely saw: a playful grandfather surrounded by laughter and love. It was a reminder that, beyond his fame, Ozzy’s legacy lives on through his family, especially his grandchildren, who will grow up cherishing these memories.

Jack explained that he initially hesitated to post after his father’s passing, admitting, “My heart has hurt too much.” But the tribute, he said, felt necessary to honor a man who “lived his life fully.” The video not only highlighted Ozzy’s bond with his grandkids but also included throwback moments of Jack growing up alongside his father and more recent family snapshots, such as the three generations together backstage at Black Sabbath’s final concert.
The post also featured a quote Jack felt best captured Ozzy’s spirit: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body…but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke…‘Wow! What a ride!’ ” For Ozzy Osbourne’s grandchildren, that ride includes precious moments that show how deeply he loved being their grandfather.
Family Legacy Carries On Through Ozzy Osbourne’s Grandkids
The Osbourne family has long shared their lives with the public, from their early 2000s reality show to candid social media updates. Jack, now a father of four, has embraced that tradition by showing fans how Ozzy’s influence shaped not only his own life but also the experiences of his children. He revealed earlier this year that his daughters couldn’t sit through The Osbournes, calling it “the cringiest thing they’ve ever seen,” yet even their teasing reflects the closeness Ozzy nurtured within the family.
Despite health struggles, including Parkinson’s disease, Ozzy remained deeply involved in his family’s life. His grandkids now hold a special place in carrying forward his legacy, a blend of humor, resilience, and undeniable love. As Jack reflected in his tribute, “I got 14,501 days with that man, and I know that is such a blessing,” words that resonate even more when seen through the eyes of Ozzy Osbourne’s grandkids.
