Jack Osbourne's wife pays tribute to his dad Ozzy
Ozzy Osbourne was the "coolest father-in-law".
Jack Osbourne's wife Aree has shared a heartfelt tribute in honour of his late father Ozzy.
The Black Sabbath frontman died on July 22 at the age of 76. He had been battling other issues, including Parkinson's disease.
He announced his diagnosis in 2020. "It has been terribly challenging for us all," he told 'Good Morning America'.
The 'Prince of Darkness' added: "I feel better now I've owned up to the fact that I have Parkinson's. And I just hope they (fans) hang in there for me because I need them," he added.

The rockstar's family has not released his official cause of death yet. His daughter-in-law Aree took to Instagram to celebrate the loving grandfather.
"I’m pretty sure I have the coolest father-in-law around, and the best papa to my kids," she wrote.
Aree included several sweet pictures of Ozzy and their family over the years, including one taken at her wedding in 2023.
Jack has four children, three with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly and one with Aree.
"The world got a rockstar but we got an ice lolly-loving, goofy, big-hearted guy who made us laugh like no other. He was always in my corner and I forever am thankful to him for raising my husband and blessing me [with] my family," Aree continued.

Ozzy leaves behind six children. He shared Jack, Kelly and Aimee with his wife, Sharon Osbourne.
An emotional Sharon and the couple's children visited a memorial site in Birmingham, England, last week.
Sharon broke down in tears as she read some of the tributes left on Black Sabbath Bridge for her husband.
Ozzy's son, Louis Osbourne, made a rare public appearance with his half-siblings.
A funeral procession was also held during the public memorial.
The musician's coffin made its way through his home city one final time before he was laid to rest in a private ceremony.
In her Instagram post, Aree promised the 'No More Tears' hitmaker that the family would keep his memory alive.
"We got Nana always, Papa. Keep giving us all those signs from above. We’ll keep your name loud, your stories alive, and your love wrapped around us like armour. Forever our guy."
