Last month, the 'Parents' punk rocker shared that his necklace from Osbourne 'is the most precious thing I own.'
After meeting on the set of the 2022 music video, Osbourne and Yungblud began a close friendship that lasted until the 'Miracle Man' singer's death on July 22 at 76.
The pair became so close that Yungblud allegedly gave a moving reading in front of Osbourne's family and close friends at Ozzy's private funeral on Thursday.

Six weeks after undergoing a mastectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis, Jessie J was admitted to the hospital once again to address her ongoing complications. The musician shared in a recent Instagram Story post that she discharged herself ('I hate being in the hospital') after being assured that the symptoms she has been experiencing are not related to a blood clot in her lungs. '6 weeks post surgery and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery,' Jessie wrote on Saturday, Aug. 2. 'Not expected or planned. I had and still have symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT THANK GOD.' The singer's testing revealed an infection and fluid in her lungs, but has not been explicitly detailed.
