Ozzy Osbourne left behind enormous fortune at time of his death
The 'Prince of Darkness' died Tuesday, July 22, just 17 days after his final performance at the 'Back to the Beginning' music festival in Birmingham, England.
'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,' Osbourne's family wrote in a statement posted on his social media. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.'
While Osbourne's official cause of death was revealed, the Black Sabbath frontman dealt with several health issues, including Parkinson's disease and emphysema.
As a multi-talented entertainer, Osbourne had an estimated fortune of $220 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.
The singer sold more than 100 million albums over his decades-long career, including his solo work and Black Sabbath releases. Osbourne was also a reality television star with his MTV show 'The Osbournes,' which ran from 2002-2005.
Osbourne was married to his wife and longtime manager, Sharon, for 43 years. The couple first met in 1970 and wed in 1982, according to PEOPLE. Together they share their daughters Aimée and Kelly as well as their son, Jack.
CelebrityNetWorth also lists Sharon's net worth at $220 million, noting it's a shared estimate with Ozzy, but it also lists her salary at $5 million.

Beloved children's author Allan Ahlberg dies at 87
LONDON (AP) — British writer Allan Ahlberg, author of more than 150 children's books including classics like 'Eat Peach Pear Plum' and 'The Jolly Postman,' has died, his publisher said Friday. He was 87. Penguin Random House said Ahlberg died on Tuesday. It did not give a cause of death. Ahlberg's books introduced generations of young children to reading through simple rhymes, sharp observation and gentle humor. Many were co-created with his illustrator wife Janet Ahlberg, who died in 1994. 'Peepo!' (1981) gave a baby's-eye-view of the world and was interactive in a delightfully analogue way, with peep-holes in the pages to spy the next scenes. 'The Jolly Postman' (1986) was even more inventive, incorporating postcards and letters in envelopes for children to engage with while they followed a letter-carrier delivering mail to fairy tale characters. Penguin Random House said it 'pushed at the boundaries of what it is possible for a book to be.' Ahlberg also wrote books of jokes, including 'The Ha Ha Bonk Book,' and poetry for primary school-age children, including 'Please Mrs. Butler' and 'Heard it in the Playground.' Born in 1938 and raised by adoptive parents in a working-class home in OIdbury, central England, Ahlberg worked as a 'postman, plumber's mate and grave digger,' according to his publisher, before becoming a teacher. He met Janet at teacher training college and the couple's first book, 'Here are the Brick Street Boys,' was published in 1975. Then came ''Burglar Bill' in 1977, about a burglar who steals a baby, and 'Eat Peach Pear Plum' in 1978, with its pages of intricately drawn nursery-rhyme characters. It won Janet the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration, one of the most prestigious awards in children's publishing. 'The Jolly Christmas Postman' won the same prize in 1991. After Janet died of cancer aged just 50, Ahlberg worked with illustrators including Raymond Briggs and his daughter, Jessica Ahlberg. For adults, he wrote a tribute to his wife, 'Janet's Last Book,' and two autobiographies: 'The Boyhood of Burglar Bill' and 'The Bucket.' Francesca Dow, head of children's literature at Penguin Random House, said Ahlberg's books have been described as 'mini masterpieces.' 'He knew that making it perfect for children matters, and above all that the very best stories for children last forever,' Dow said. 'Allan's are some of the very best – true classics, which will be loved by children and families for years to come.' Ahlberg is survived by his second wife, Vanessa Clarke, his daughter and two stepdaughters.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Are Selling Their Country Estate
Ellen DeGeneres's English Estate Ellen DeGeneres, the comedian and longtime TV host, and her wife, the actress Portia de Rossi, have listed their country estate in England's Cotswolds region, just a year after buying it. Their asking price is 22.5 million British pounds, or around $30 million. The couple had purchased the 43-acre property, located in Swinbrook, Oxfordshire, and known as Kitesbridge Farm, in the spring of 2024, then spent the next few months on renovations. The estate comprises several structures, including the 18th-century main house and a guesthouse. There is also a separate 'party barn' with a pub for entertaining and a building that contains an indoor pool, gym and shower facilities. Ms. DeGeneres and Ms. de Rossi have reportedly moved to a larger, more contemporary estate nearby. Maroon 5 Frontman Moves On Adam Levine, the lead singer for the rock band Maroon 5, and his wife, the supermodel Behati Prinsloo, are asking $65 million for their Montecito, Calif., home.

What to Watch at the Edinburgh Fringe
If last year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe was haunted by the impressive specter of 'Baby Reindeer,' with the Netflix smash by Richard Gadd serving as an exhilarating if daunting reminder of the event's star-making potential, this year's edition feels like a collective exhale. In conversations with performers and prospective festivalgoers before the Fringe's return on Friday, there was less feverish expectancy, perhaps because of the tough financial conditions that many acts are facing. So, what's driving this year's crop of comedians, theater makers, dancers, circus performers and cabaret acts? My impression is that it's a desire to entertain in tricky times, to make people laugh, or perhaps make them think, through art. From homegrown Scottish talent to internationally acclaimed acts, the program for the Fringe, which runs through Aug. 25, is packed with passionate performers. Open to a random page of the festival guide, or scroll haphazardly through the Fringe app, and you're likely to find one. Or, simply use this guide. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
