In a touching black-and-white photo shared with fans, baby Ozzy can be seen peacefully asleep next to a cuddly bat soft toy—an homage to her famous grandfather, Ozzy Osbourne, who was famously known as the “Prince of Darkness.” The emotional tribute underscores the deep bond Jack had with his father, whose legacy continues to shine through in the lives of his children.
Jack captioned the photo with the simple yet heartfelt words: “Hello world.” On his Instagram Story, Jack further expressed his joy and pride, writing, “She’s arrived and she’s perfect.” Baby Ozzy, who weighed 7lb 12oz at birth, joins the Osbourne family as their fifth child.
Jack’s Growing Family
This is the second child for Jack and Aree, who also share a daughter, Maple, aged three. Jack is also a proud father to Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and Minnie, seven, from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly. The arrival of baby Ozzy brings the total number of daughters in the Osbourne family to five.
Support from Friends and Fans
The announcement has been met with overwhelming support from fans and celebrity friends alike. Jack’s I’m A Celebrity co-star, Lisa Riley, couldn’t hide her excitement, commenting, “My heart is melting.” Kelly Brook, another campmate, shared her congratulations as well. Many fans flooded the comment section, with one fan revealing they had named their own daughter after the late Ozzy Osbourne, sharing in the meaningful tribute.
Several followers expressed how symbolic the baby’s name is, with one fan commenting, “Congratulations to you both; she has the most perfect name. The most perfect name she could have ever received!!” Others echoed this sentiment, stating that it feels as though Ozzy himself sent his granddaughter to “earth-side” to be with Jack and his family.
A Family’s Tribute to a Legend
Jack’s decision to name his daughter after his father is a deeply emotional one, reflecting the immense influence Ozzy had on his life. The Osbourne family has always been close-knit, and despite the loss of Ozzy, his spirit continues to live on through his children and grandchildren.
With baby Ozzy’s arrival, Jack and Aree are celebrating not just the joy of welcoming a new member to their family but also the legacy of a rock icon that will live on in their daughter’s name.
