Medics worked on Ozzy Osbourne for hours in desperate battle to save rock legend: report
A Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field close to the rocker's mansion at 10:30 that morning, the Daily Mail claimed.
The outlet claimed medics tried and failed to save the singer's life for two hours.
A spokesperson for the organization told the Daily Mail, 'We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday.'
Locals told the outlet that they worried 'something serious was happening' when they saw the chopper.
One noted, 'We immediately feared it may be for him as he was known to be in fragile health.'
Osbourne's family members's reps have yet to respond to Page Six's requests for comment.
The Grammy winner's loved ones released a statement Tuesday revealing Osbourne's death 'with more sadness than mere words can convey.'
They wrote that the Prince of Darkness was 'with his family and surrounded by love' in his final moments.
He is survived by wife Sharon Osbourne and their three kids — daughter Aimee, 41, daughter Kelly, 40, and son Jack, 39.
Additionally, Ozzy was the father of son Elliot, daughter Jessica and son Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.
The songwriter's cause of death has yet to be revealed.
Ozzy suffered from a myriad of health issues prior to his passing, from Parkinson's disease to limited mobility from a 2003 accident exacerbated by a 2019 fall.
The musician retired from touring in 2023 but did perform a farewell Black Sabbath show with bandmates Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler earlier this month.
Ozzy had previously told Rolling Stone he would 'die a happy man' as long as he did this.
'My fans are what it's all about,' he gushed to the magazine in 2023.

Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography will be 'uncensored'
Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography has been described as a "brutally honest" book containing the singer's last confessions. The iconic star died on July 22, aged 76, and his upcoming autobiography will explore the ups and downs of his life, including the cheating scandal that almost ended his marriage in 2016. "This book was basically Ozzy's last confessions and contains a lot of passages about how he is sorry for the affair," a source told Britain's The Sun on Sunday newspaper. "As he was always brutally honest during his life, it's been decided not a word will be changed, even about painful times in his life and how his affair affected Sharon." The 72-year-old TV star - who married Osbourne in 1982 - is expected to write a foreword to the book, which is titled Last Rites. "Sharon is made of stern stuff and the publishers know she will want to leave her fingerprint on this book. Writing its foreword will also be cathartic for her and act as a way of laying Ozzy to rest," the source said. The autobiography is set to be published in October. The blurb reads: "Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Ozzy's descent into hell. "Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, alongside his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time. "Unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure." Osbourne's death was announced by his family, who revealed he was "surrounded by love" when he died. "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

Sharon Osbourne 'won battle with insurers ahead of Ozzy's last gig'
Sharon Osbourne fought a behind-the-scenes battle with insurance companies ahead of Ozzy Osbourne's last-ever gig. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away on July 22, aged 76, but Sharon ensured that Ozzy - who was suffering from Parkinson's disease - was able to take to the stage for one final time at Villa Park in Birmingham, after she struck a deal with insurers. A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It is heartbreaking to think about the stress that Ozzy and Sharon went through in those last few weeks. Ozzy had worked his a** off to get himself to a place where he could at least stand up and wave to fans. But for shows of that magnitude, if the artists do not meet the insurers' satisfaction of risk liability then the show doesn't go ahead. "With the Parkinson's and the walking issues, no insurance agent would agree to let Oz stand. So to overcome that, and not have a huge insurance premium on the charity show, they secured a deal to have him safely locked in his throne. It was a brilliant compromise. "It really speaks so much to Sharon's drive and focus to get it all pulled off, because of the liability issues. She was a miracle worker." Meanwhile, Ozzy's autobiography is set to be released in October. The upcoming autobiography will explore the ups and downs of Ozzy's life, including the cheating scandal that almost ended his marriage in 2016. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "This book was basically Ozzy's last confessions and contains a lot of passages about how he is sorry for the affair.
