Now, in a new social media post following Ozzy's private funeral, Yungblud has shared a photo of the necklace which Ozzy gave to him back in 2022.
Ozzy gave him the cross necklace in 2022 whilst he was recording a music video for his track, The Funeral.
The pair enjoyed a close bond often likened to father and son with Yungblud going onto return the favour by gifting Ozzy his own custom-made cross necklace backstage at his final ever gig in Villa Park, Birmingham.
Clearly a symbol of their bond, Yungblud has now shared a close-up image of the pendant alongside a heartfelt caption.
He wrote: "Goodnight oz. your light will forever shine. I love you."
It is understood that Yungblud gave a touching reading at his private funeral on Thursday.
Ozzy was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire home.
A wreath, which read: 'Ozzy f***ing Osbourne,' was placed by the bank of the water as 110 of Ozzy's nearest and dearest joined his wife Sharon and his children Jack, 39, Kelly, 40, Aimee, 41, and Louis, 50, who is Ozzy's son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, for the service.
A family friend told The Sun that Ozzy and Sharon's home was decorated with pictures of the Black Sabbath rocker - and that they had planned to give mourners a photograph of him to take home with them.
They added: 'Ozzy's service was a beautiful tribute. As well as tears, there was laughter.'

The road leading to Ozzy and Sharon's home, close to Gerrards Cross, was closed from 1pm.
Guests were sent a simple black invitation with a picture of a cross that read: 'In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne.'
Mourners were transported from The Crowne Plaza and The Bull in Gerrards Cross to the house at 2pm, with the service starting at 3pm.
Security teams were also in place to ensure the safety of those attending.
A friend told The Sun: "There was a stage where people including Yungblud, who grew very close to Ozzy in recent years, were set to pay tribute to him.
'The day was incredibly emotional. Pictures of Ozzy were dotted throughout the house and a photograph of him was given to everyone who attended to take home with them.'

Pop legend wants to headline Glastonbury 2027 for 10-year anniversary of set
After a decade away, one 00s pop legend is throwing his hat into the ring for a headlining spot at Glastonbury. With two number one albums, 16 Top 10 hits, and 298 weeks spent in the UK charts, Craig David is ready to tackle that coveted Worthy Farm title. Glastonbury is having a fallow year to allow the ground to recover, so the 7 Days icon will have to wait until 2027 – perfect timing for a special anniversary. It will mark 10 years since the 44-year-old star last performed on the Pyramid Stage, a performance which he described as 'iconic'. Telling The Sun to 'stay tuned', he shared how he would 'love to go back', adding: 'You know what Glastonbury means to any artist'. 'When I performed on the Pyramid Stage, it was one of the most iconic moments for me. I could see that there were so many people from so many different walks of life who'd come to see a myriad of different artists.' Over 100,000 people filled the field, and a further 7,600,000 watched on BBC iPlayer, with many at the time saying he deserved the Sunday Legend slot. His set was sandwiched between Jools Holland and a speech from Jeremy Corbyn, with Katy Perry, The National, and Foo Fighters closing the day. Craig shared: 'I'd never seen so many people and I thought that is what it is normally like. People were like, 'No, Craig, the crowd went over the bank at the back and that is huge.' It was just amazing.' For the past few years, he has posted a clip of the set on Instagram and called the experience a 'core memory'. 'Performing on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury in 2017 holds a special place in my heart,' the Re-Rewind hitmaker wrote. 'Being able to sing to so many beautiful people at this iconic festival will always be a career highlight.' He's just released a new album, Commitment, after focusing on his TS5 DJ set recently with performances at festivals like Southampton's Summer Sessions and Kew The Music. This ninth album comes 25 years after 7 Days, the song which cemented him as one of the UK's most iconic performers. Craig previously told Metro how he wouldn't re-release any of his older music as it's too precious to his fans. More Trending ''It's so not about me,' he said at the time. 'There was a point when I was first writing music where it was about 'I want to go out there, I want to play this for you, I want to know how it feels to experience this'. 'Then it comes to another point where you recognise that the anecdotes and stories that people tell you over the years of being on holiday, meeting their partner, just a special memory for them with a song that's one of mine. 'It becomes not about me, it's about what am I doing and what service can I bring. I love it.' Got a story?

FIRST PUBLIC OUTING Last month the couple took their romance to the next step when they made their first public outing together.

Strictly 'drug probe' star also 'suspected of boozing' while working on BBC show after crew smelt alcohol on their breath
One of the Strictly Come Dancing stars involved in the drugs probe was also suspected of drinking while working on the show after crew smelt alcohol on their breath. It comes after it was revealed the broadcaster has hired a law firm to probe allegations of drug taking by two individuals, whose drug use is said to be 'well-known' on the show. The Sun alleged that it was widely known that the pair, who have not been named, took the Class A substance, and that one of these Strictly performers were known for being a drinker. The publication have now reported that junior members of the team were asked to keep an eye on them during last year's show and to look for signs that they may have been boozing during work hours. A TV insider said: 'The person in question is renowned for loving to party, and that is a major problem when it impacts on their ability to do the job they need to do on Strictly in a safe and professional manner. 'It's not just about something being illegal or legal, it's about the BBC 's workplace policies and how the behaviour of certain individuals can impact on their work colleagues. 'On a very physical show like Strictly, with lots of sets and moving parts, the idea of someone being intoxicated in any way is wholly unacceptable.' A BBC spokesperson told Daily Mail: We do not recognise these claims and any suggestion that anyone has been asked to monitor an individual is completely untrue. BBC bosses are reportedly set to offer professional support to two stars of hit dancing show Strictly, amid allegations they took cocaine on the programme. It was revealed the broadcaster has hired a law firm to probe allegations of drug taking by two individuals, whose drug use is said to be 'well-known' on the show. The claims were reportedly made in a legal submission to the BBC by law firm Russells back in March, on behalf of former contestant Wynne Evans. A source told the newspaper: 'The BBC is taking the allegations really seriously. 'Bosses are aware of the two stars in question and have a duty of care to make sure they're okay. 'As per BBC policy, the option of specialised professional support is on the table and will be offered.' He used a vile sexual innuendo and was also caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with dance partner Katya Jones [pictured with Wynne], who seemed to remove his arm from her lower waist on the show They added: 'While drug testing won't happen on the main show, bosses are considering bringing in random checks for the tour next year. 'The BBC needs to be sure nothing illegal is going on. It all depends on what the investigation finds.' The shock allegations come just amid a long period of controversy for the BBC and Strictly over the past year or so. In July last year, more than six months after quitting the show citing 'personal reasons', actress Amanda Abbington accused pro dancer Giovanni Pernice of 'unnecessary, cruel and mean behaviour' during their time dancing together on Strictly . Giovanni rejected the claims immediately, and a BBC investigation ruled in September that her claims of physical aggression and threatening behaviour were not upheld. When BBC bosses published their report into Giovanni's behaviour, it cleared him of the most serious allegations of physical aggression, but upheld verbal bullying and harassment. Complaints of verbal bullying and harassment meant the BBC issued an apology to Amanda, but Giovanni said he was 'pleased the report has not found any evidence of threatening or abusive behaviour'. Elsewhere, the show was plunged into crisis after Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans made a controversial joke during his time preparing for the Strictly tour in January. He used a vile sexual innuendo and was also caught up in a 'wandering hand' incident with dance partner Katya Jones , who seemed to remove his arm from her lower waist on the show. While his co-star John Torode [left] was also sacked after two decades over allegations that he used the N-word, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of After the BBC launched an investigation into his conduct, bosses decided not to renew his radio contract for his show. The TV star confirmed in May that they will not be renewing his one-year rolling contract following a four-month investigation after the inappropriate comments made during his time on Strictly. Elsewhere, in further scandals for the BBC, Gregg Wallace was recently dismissed from MasterChef after more than 40 complaints against him were upheld following a BBC investigation. While his co-star John Torode was also sacked after two decades over allegations that he used the N-word, which he claims to have 'absolutely no recollection' of. In separate further controversy, it's recently been reported that Naga Munchetty could face an investigation from BBC bosses after she was accused of bullying a junior colleague. The BBC Breakfast host, 50, has been placed 'under review' while bosses consider escalating complaints to a formal investigation, The Sun reports. A source said higher-ups had heard from several colleagues and logged concerns over her 'hard' and 'bullying' behaviour on the breakfast show, as well as her Radio 5 Live show.
