July 24, 2025 – Days after the tragic death of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, his former daughter-in-law, Lisa Stelly, posted a deeply touching tribute on Instagram, celebrating his legacy not as a music icon — but as a loving grandfather.
Lisa, who was married to Jack Osbourne from 2012 to 2019, shared an emotional carousel of rare family photos and videos of Ozzy bonding with his grandchildren.

In one video, the Black Sabbath frontman is seen dodging kisses from a giggling grandchild, while other images show Ozzy cuddling babies on a private jet, laughing at a family table, and playfully engaging with his grandkids.
“The world got Ozzy. We got Papa,” Lisa captioned the post.
“One of one. Larger than life. It hurts to say goodbye, but what a gift it was to have him. We will never stop missing you.”
She paired her tribute with the song “See You on the Other Side,” one of Ozzy’s most iconic solo tracks, playing in the background of her Instagram Stories.
A Family Man Beyond the Stage
Lisa and Jack Osbourne share three daughters — Pearl (13), Andy (10), and Minnie (7) — who had a close bond with their grandfather. In the photos, Ozzy is seen kissing, hugging, and playing with the girls, showing a gentle and loving side that few fans ever saw.
In one touching image, Ozzy sits at a table with Lisa, smiling as a child feeds him.
Another photo shows him holding two granddaughters tight on a couch, completely immersed in grandpa duties.
