Ozzy Osbourne was reportedly laid to rest on the grounds of his family’s estate in England.
Osbourne’s casket was buried beside a lake at his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday, July 31, according to The Sun. The outlet reported that a wreath reading “Ozzy f***ing Osbourne” was placed on the bank of the water during a private funeral service. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.
The Black Sabbath frontman died at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson’s disease.
“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 shared in a statement shared with Us on July 22. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family’s privacy at this time.”
Ozzy is survived by his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and his six children. He shared Aimee, Jack and Kelly with Sharon, 72, as well as Elliot, Louis and Jessica with ex-wife Thelma Riley.
Sharon and her children stepped out on Wednesday, July 30, for a memorial service in Ozzy’s honor, placing floral arrangements on the Black Sabbath bridge in Birmingham. Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39, were spotted looking visibly emotional as they escorted their mother during the procession.
Ozzy’s family also honored him through their mourning attire, with Kelly wearing his signature purple-tinted round sunglasses and Sharon wearing her late spouse’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck.
Ahead of the service, Kelly broke her silence about her dad’s death in a social media statement.
“I feel unhappy I am so sad,” she wrote. “I lost the best friend I ever had.”
Ozzy’s sisters have also been candid about grieving the death of the rocker.
“He was frail, but it still came as a shock,” Jean Powell told The Mirror. “He still had plans and things he wanted to do. … [I am] thankful he died in England.”
She added, “To us, he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it’s crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced. We just can’t believe he is gone, and we won’t be getting another phone call or text from him. Every week, without fail, he would get in touch.”
Ozzy was one of six kids. In addition to Powell, he is survived by sister Gillian and brother Paul, and he was predeceased by late siblings Iris and Tony.
