The music industry was left reeling yesterday when legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne passed away at his Buckinghamshire home following a lengthy battle with Parkinson's disease. Just six days prior, the 76-year-old rock icon reunited with former bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for an emotional farewell show at Birmingham's Villa Park - a poignant reminder of his storied career.

As tributes poured in from fans and fellow musicians alike, Ozzy's daughter Kelly Osbourne took to social media to share a heartfelt tribute to her beloved father. The 40-year-old TV personality and singer posted an undated video clip showing the pair cuddled up together when she was just a teenager. In the tender moment, Ozzy jokes about her using bad language, saying "Terrible isn't it, the way children speak these days?" Kelly responds, "But I learned from you daddy, it's alright," to which Ozzy replies, "You learned from the best, baby."

The sentimental clip served as a poignant reminder of the strong bond between Ozzy and his daughter. Little did fans know that just weeks prior, Osbourne had undergone an unexpected medical emergency at his multi-million-pound country home in Buckinghamshire.

Emergency Response Unfolds

On Tuesday morning, paramedics received calls from Welders House, Osbourne's Grade II listed mansion, suggesting the rock legend's life was in jeopardy. An air ambulance was scrambled to the scene, landing in a nearby field around 10:30 am. The Thames Valley air ambulance crew spent two hours attempting to save Ozzy's life before pronouncing him dead.

The dramatic events unfolded just days after Osbourne's emotional farewell show at Villa Park Stadium, where he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for the first time since 2005. The aptly-titled "Back to the Beginning" show saw over 42,000 fans pack into the stadium, with Osbourne taking to the stage one final time.

Tributes and Controversy

As news of Ozzy's passing spread like wildfire, tributes poured in from across the music industry. However, controversy surrounding his family's reaction has left many scratching their heads. Four of Ozzy's children - Jack, Kelly, Jessica, and Elliot - signed a joint statement announcing his death, sparking questions about the absence of two other siblings.
