During their marriage, Ozzy also adopted Thelma’s son, Elliot Kingsley, from a prior relationship. Jessica and Elliot were not named in the statement announcing Ozzy’s death.

Following his split from Riley, Ozzy married Sharon Osbourne in 1982. The couple welcomed daughters Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and son Jack, 39. The family, excluding Aimee, starred in the MTV reality show 'The Osbournes' from 2002 to 2005.

Louis recently also wrote about his father’s final concert in Birmingham on July 5. “The audience showed him all the love that you'd expect and he back to them. An emotional end to a phenomenal 57-year career,” Louis said. 

“I was sobbing at times. It was everything we wanted it to be and more," he said.

"I had been anxious for months about this as I've been worried about my dad's ability to perform with Parkinson's disease. I just wanted it to be a dignified send-off for him. But as soon as he started singing, we knew he was gonna nail it,” added Louis.
