Jack Osbourne pays homage to his late father by naming his newborn baby after the ‘Prince of Darkness’.
The “Osbourne” personality announced the birth of baby Ozzy Matilda Osbourne on Instagram Wednesday with a short black-and-white clip of the baby sleeping in what looks like a hospital basket.
A small printed card near the infant’s head reads “Hello, World” and reveals his birthday as March 5, 2026.
Baby Jack was born at 8:49 a.m., weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and growing to 19 inches long.
A stuffed bat was also placed near little Ozzy. This is a reference to the infamous incident in 1982 when the Black Sabbath rocker bit off the head of a live bat on stage.
Jack did not specify whether his new companion was a boy or a girl. Representatives for Jack did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for further details about the new arrival.
Baby Ozzie Matilda, just a week old, joins Jack’s four older children. He has daughters Pearl Clementine, 13, Andy Rose, 10, Minnie Theodora, 8, his daughter with ex-wife Lisa Sterry, and Maple Artemis, 3, with ex-wife Allie Gearhart.
The two got married in September 2023.
In December, Jack revealed Ally’s pregnancy in an interview with The Sun, saying he was able to share the news with Ozzy before he died in July at the age of 76.
“I think it was partly a healthy distraction, partly healing. It probably falls into that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way,” Jack told the outlet at the time.
He added: “It takes a lot of the energy out of the sadness side of things and makes it a little more hopeful.”
Jack, 40, also said he and his wife, 34, are “very excited” about their impending arrival.
“It was definitely something we wanted to pursue and somehow miraculously it happened,” he explained.
On last Wednesday’s episode of his podcast Hate to Break it to Ya, Jack confessed that Ozzy’s death “certainly came as a surprise” despite him battling Parkinson’s disease and other illnesses.
“Obviously everyone knew he was sick,” he said. “But I didn’t expect it to be this fast. I think he’s done.” He also said Ozzy’s final hours on July 22 were not “dramatic.”
“He stayed up, did what he had to do, ate breakfast and that was it,” Jack said.
