Final Footage of Ozzy Osbourne Shows Him Smiling and Joking Just Days Before His Death

In a bittersweet final video, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is seen doing what he always did best—lighting up a room. Less than two weeks before his death, the Black Sabbath frontman appeared happy, cracking jokes and smiling during a moment that now carries a powerful emotional weight.

Captured in a Moment of Celebration

The footage, shared by daughter Kelly Osbourne on July 9, shows a very personal family moment. Surrounded by loved ones, Kelly had just announced her engagement to longtime partner, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson.

As Wilson prepared to pop the question in front of friends and family, Ozzy—ever the mischief-maker—couldn’t help but steal the spotlight for a moment.

“Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world…” Wilson began.

Without missing a beat, Ozzy chimed in from the sidelines:

“F**k off, you’re not marrying my daughter.”

The room erupted in laughter. Behind the humor, Ozzy’s wide smile and glimmering eyes spoke volumes—he was proud, playful, and fully present for one of the most meaningful moments in his daughter’s life.

The Final Days of a Heavy Metal Icon

Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22 at the age of 76, just 17 days after what would be his final public appearance: a reunion performance with the original members of Black Sabbath—marking the band’s first on-stage moment together in two decades.

Despite visible health struggles, the performance was a full-circle moment for a man who had defined an entire genre.

Ozzy had been battling Parkinson’s disease since 2019, along with other ongoing health issues. While his cause of death has not yet been confirmed, his family shared that he passed peacefully, surrounded by love at his UK estate.

“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,” his family said in a statement. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family’s privacy at this time.”

From Prince of Darkness to Beloved Father

Ozzy Osbourne wasn’t just a pioneer of heavy metal—he was a force. After forming Black Sabbath in 1968, his guttural vocals, theatrical stage presence, and infamous antics (yes, including the bat incident) made him one of rock’s most controversial and iconic figures.

But in later years, especially through the hit reality series The Osbournes, fans got to see another side of the Prince of Darkness: the devoted husband, loving father, and surprisingly hilarious family man.

One Last Smile, One Last Song

The final video of Ozzy isn’t on a concert stage or a red carpet. It’s at home, surrounded by laughter, family, and love. A joke, a smile, a proud father witnessing his daughter’s next chapter.

And in that simple moment, perhaps we saw the truest version of Ozzy Osbourne—still the showman, still the dad, still the legend.
