Jack Osbourne and his wife, Aree, have welcomed a new daughter into their family, honoring the legacy of Jack’s late father, Ozzy Osbourne, with her name. Ozzy Matilda Osbourne was born on March 5, 2026, a poignant tribute arriving nearly eight months after the passing of the iconic rocker.
The announcement was made Wednesday, March 11, 2026, via a joint Instagram post featuring Sharon Osbourne, Jack’s mother. The post included a heartwarming video of baby Ozzy, accompanied by a “Hello World” card detailing her birth statistics: 7:49 a.m., 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and 19 inches in length. The arrival of Ozzy Matilda marks the fifth child for Jack Osbourne.
The birth comes as the family continues to navigate life without Ozzy Osbourne, who died in July 2025 at the age of 76 following a heart attack. His final performance with Black Sabbath was at the Back to the Beginning benefit concert in Birmingham, England, which raised over $11 million for Acorns Children’s Hospice, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Cure Parkinson’s.
A Legacy of Music and Family
Ozzy Osbourne’s impact on music spanned generations, and his influence continues to be celebrated. Just last month, a tribute performance led by Post Malone at the 2026 Grammy Awards saw artists like Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and Andrew Watt come together to perform Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs.” The performance served as a powerful reminder of Ozzy’s enduring musical contributions.
The tribute at the Grammys followed similar honors at the BRIT Awards, where Sharon and Kelly Osbourne accepted a lifetime achievement award on Ozzy’s behalf, with performances of “No More Tears” by Robbie Williams and Zakk Wylde. These accolades underscore the profound and lasting impact Ozzy Osbourne had on the music world.
A Meaningful Connection to a New Generation
Beyond his musical achievements, Ozzy Osbourne fostered connections with younger artists, including English musician Yungblud. According to Jack and Kelly Osbourne, their father was immediately impressed with Yungblud’s talent after being introduced to him by Kelly. Ozzy even appeared in Yungblud’s music video for “The Funeral,” and insisted Yungblud be present at his final show. Kelly Osbourne shared that her father declared, “This kid is a star,” upon meeting Yungblud, demonstrating his ability to recognize and champion emerging talent.
Ozzy Matilda Osbourne joins Jack’s other children: Pearl, Andy, and Minnie from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly, and Maple, his daughter with Aree. The new arrival represents a continuation of the Osbourne family legacy and a touching way to remember a beloved father and musical icon.
The family’s tribute to Ozzy Osbourne extends beyond awards and performances. Yungblud, along with Nuno Bettencourt, Frank Bello, Adam Wakeman, and Sleep Token II, also won the award for best rock performance at the 2026 Grammys Premiere Ceremony for their rendition of Black Sabbath’s “Changes,” recorded live during Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s final live concert.
As the Osbourne family welcomes Ozzy Matilda, they carry forward the spirit of a musical legend and the enduring power of family. The birth of their daughter serves as a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to a man whose influence will continue to resonate for generations to come.
The Osbourne family continues to honor Ozzy’s memory through music and remembrance. It will be interesting to see how they continue to celebrate his life and legacy in the years ahead.
