Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack says the Black Sabbath legend has been visiting his family in their dreams – six months after his tragic death.
The heavy metal pioneer passed away in July at the age of 76, after suffering a cardiac arrest at his sprawling family home in Buckinghamshire.
And son Jack has told how all of his loved ones have experienced eerily similar visions while sleeping, in which Ozzy “laughs” and urges them to stop crying over his death.
Speaking to Ozzy’s friend Billy Morrison on SiriusXM, he said: ‘We all keep having dreams about him. In the dreams, he is laughing.
‘And he is saying, “Just stop f***ing crying”. He’s laughing every time. Me and my wife, my daughters, all the same thing. We keep seeing him in our dreams, laughing.’
Billy, who performs with Los Angeles based covers band Royal Machine and enjoyed a close friendship with Ozzy, admitted he too had been visited by the rock legend.

He said: ‘I’ve seen him. He’s good, Jack. He’s not in pain.’
Jack, 40 – a father to daughters Pearl, 13, Andie, 10, and Minnie, seven, with ex-wife Lisa Stelly, and three-year-old Maple with pregnant spouse Aree Gearhart – is back in the United States after travelling to Australia for an appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
And he believes Ozzy realised he was “done”, having completed all his planned work projects – including a triumphant farewell concert with Black Sabbath at Birmingham’s Villa Park on June 5, just two weeks before he died.
He said: ‘He did his gig – that he was very, very happy about. He finished his book. He did a bunch of artwork for this chimpanzee charity.
‘He finished two documentaries. It just goes on and on. He was just like, ‘Check, check, check, check, check’.
‘It’s almost like he turned and said, “Am I done now?”‘
Jack tearfully discussed Ozzy’s “shock” death during his appearance in the Australian jungle, where he finished in joint sixth place alongside Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley.
He told campmates: ‘It was definitely a shock. I mean, we knew he was sick for a while but it was definitely a shock. I mean, we didn’t know it would be that quick.

‘It was the ultimate mic drop, he did a massive big gig and was like, alright I’m done.’
Jack then became visibly emotional in front of his campmates and then suggested that Ozzy would’ve been supportive of his decision to appear on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
He said: ‘He’d be so supportive of this.’
The reality star later admitted that he was still trying to process his father’s sudden death.
‘I’m still navigating it all,’ he said. iIt’s been three nearly four months and so it’s still pretty fresh.’
