Ozzy Osbourne family: Black Sabbath star's wife Sharon Osbourne and 6 kids
Osbourne, famous for his eccentric styling choices and role in Black Sabbath's success, also became known for his prominent family, who announced his death in a statement shared with USA TODAY July 22.
"It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy has passed away this morning," the statement read. "He was with his family and surrounded by love."
"We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," read the note, signed by wife Sharon and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.
What we know: Rock star Ozzy Osbourne dies weeks after final Black Sabbath show
Ozzy Osbourne shared 3 children with first wife Thelma Riley
The father of six children over two marriages, Osbourne has been vocal about how rigorous touring and alcohol use affected his family life.
In 1971, he married Thelma Riley, whom he met at a nightclub in his native U.K. The pair had two children, Jessica, 53, and Louis, who is in his mid-40s. Osbourne also adopted a third child, Elliot, from Riley's previous relationship.
The couple divorced in 1982.
Ozzy Osbourne's second marriage with Sharon Osbourne
Following the end of his first marriage, Osbourne went on to marry his manager, Sharon Arden (now Osbourne), in 1982. The two share three children: Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.
Their family life was chronicled in the early 2000s MTV show "The Osbournes," which Aimee opted out of filming.
Sharon, whose own fame as a music manager and TV personality has grown to match his, had a talent portfolio that included not just her husband but other rockers like The Smashing Pumpkins and Motorhead.
Kelly has also amassed her own fame as a singer, actress, designer and TV personality known for reality shows from "Dancing with the Stars" to "Fashion Police." She got engaged at her father's final Black Sabbath show in Birmingham, England, just weeks before his death.
Meanwhile, youngest brother Jack is a TV personality who did a travel show with his dad – and, later, sister Kelly – for the History Channel and A&E, called "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour."

To Eat Like a Local in Tokyo, Look for B-kyū Gurume Restaurants
At 11 a.m., Tsukemen Kinryu's shutters go up and soon we are at the seven-seat bar inhaling the aroma of broth and watching two chefs scoop up soft and chewy wheat flour noodles. 'A whole bowl of their ramen and I'm done,' warns MacDuckston. Since we have a day of eating ahead, instead of the tsukemen—a kind of dipping ramen popular in Tokyo—we opt for the lighter wonton soup, which at under $7 USD is a steal. A steaming bowl of fish dashi arrives, loaded with plump prawn and pork wontons. 'They custom-make their own skins that don't split when they stuff them full,' explains MacDuckston. We wolf the delicious parcels, down the broth, and are out in 20 satiating minutes. We then head west to Tomigaya, a residential neighborhood near Shibuya and its scramble crossing. The streets have an appealing go-slow vibe with single-product shops and cafés breaking up a proliferation of hair salons. A huddle of people signals that we have found our next stop: Camelback, a micro coffee shop created by a latte artist and sushi chef. Everyone has come for the coffee and two-bite egg sando: a slice of Kyoto-style sweet rolled omelette (more usually seen atop nigiri sushi) wrapped in brioche. 'Cheap coffee and an egg sando from the konbini has become a staple on social media, so it makes sense that the elevated version—barista lattes and sushi-grade egg on artisanal bread—would find a place in fashionable Tomigaya,' says MacDuckston. Call it contemporary B-kyū. Shibuya Crossing Graydon Herriott Katsu curry at Pannya Graydon Herriott Two stops further along the metro line we alight in Shimokitazawa, walking right into the annual curry festival, where we have a katsu curry at Pannya Cafe Curry, a tiny, homespun spot. A huge portion of pork cutlet in squid-ink breadcrumbs and a flavoursome sauce laced with soy and dashi is just over $10 USD. Unlike the 19th-century curry introduced by the British on which it is based, the Japanese kind is made from a roux, with milder spices and deep umami flavors.

Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson dodge dating rumors on 'Today' show: 'Are you two an item?'
"The Naked Gun" costars Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are the latest focus of Hollywood romance rumors. The Hollywood A-listers behind the beloved 1980s and '90s action franchise reboot appeared on the "Today" show with coanchor Craig Melvin, who bluntly asked the duo if they were dating. "What's the deal here?" Melvin asked on the July 29 episode, addressing "red carpet action" and a "passionate" onscreen kiss. "You're both single right now. There's clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?" Neeson, 73, replied, "Craig!" as Anderson, 58, coyly quipped, "What? I don't understand the question." Neeson then told Melvin that "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry as two actors." Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson share affectionate red carpet moment Neeson added that their approach to their chemistry was "like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe,' and that's what we did." Neeson was previously married to British actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her death at 45 years old in 2009, while Anderson has had four husbands: Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, rap rocker Kid Rock, poker player Rick Salomon and Dan Hayhurst. Last week, as the costars posed on the red carpet at the film's London premiere, Anderson leaned up and gave Neeson a smooch on his cheek. As they took photos with one of the film's producers, she was seen clasping the Oscar nominee's hand around her left hip. On "Today," Melvin playfully told the costars that "we're watching the beginning of the breathing of a budding relationship" – as Anderson nervously laughed – and the journalist added that "America's here for it. We're here for whatever this turns into." Pamela Anderson done playing characters in her personal life. An Oscar could be next. Before the "Today" interview ended, Melvin complimented Anderson, telling the "Last Showgirl" actress that "you bring out a different side of Liam Neeson" and "we want you (both) to come back when it's official." Last year, when asked whether he was dating, Neeson told People: "No, in a word. I'm past all that." Contributing: KiMi Robinson
