Jack Osbourne’s ex Lisa Stelly pays tribute to Ozzy after his death

Jack Osbourne’s ex-wife is remembering the late Ozzy Osbourne.

Following the rocker’s death at age 76 on Tuesday, July 22, Lisa Stelly took to Instagram to share a touching tribute.

Osbourne, 39, and Stelly, 38, were married from 2012 to 2019 and share daughters Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and Minnie, 7.

On Thursday, the mom of three shared pictures of Ozzy with his grandchildren over the years. Shots included the musician holding his granddaughter on a private plane, lying on the couch with the kiddos, and carrying one of the girls on his shoulders.

Stelly also shared a picture of herself and Ozzy at a dinner table.

Rounding out the sweet post was a video of a cat crawling on the Prince of Darkness, as well as a clip of Ozzy and Sharon, 72, playing with one of their granddaughters. 

Stelly shared the carousel to her Instagram Stories, writing, “Love you, Papa,” and set it to Ozzy’s 1995 song, “See You on the Other Side.”

Ozzy’s family confirmed his death to The Post on Tuesday, sharing, “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. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family’s privacy at this time.”

Along with Jack, Ozzy and Sharon, who tied the knot in 1982, are parents to daughters Aimee, 41, and Kelly, 40. 

The heavy metal icon is also dad to Louis and Jessica from his first marriage to Thelma Riley. Additionally, he helped raise Riley’s son, Elliot Kingsley, from a previous relationship.

Ozzy and Sharon brought up their three kids in California, with the family landing their own show in 2002.

The MTV reality series “The Osbournes” ran for four seasons until 2005. 

Aimee chose not to participate in the project and lives a mostly private life. 

“It definitely worked great for the rest of my family, but for me, and who I am, I just knew it was never something that I would have been able to consider realistically,” she told New York’s Q1043 radio show in 2020.

On Tuesday, Sue Kolinsky, who worked as a producer on “The Osbournes,” told The Post just how perfect Ozzy was for the show.

“We realized early on that anything Ozzy did was going to be funny,” she shared. “Like making a milkshake – we were gonna have [that be] three minutes of an episode. He was so funny, and he had no idea how funny he was.”

Kolinsky added about the Black Sabbath frontman: “Everything he did was kind of like a crazy rocker version of ‘Father Knows Best.’ And he was kind.”

Meanwhile, Osbourne, who also shares daughter Maple, 3, with wife Aree Gearhart, continued to work closely with his dad over the years.

In 2009, the podcast host starred in the variety show “Osbournes Reloaded” with his parents and Kelly. 

Jack also produced the 2011 documentary “God Bless Ozzy Osbourne,” which gave fans a behind-the-scenes look into Ozzy’s life and career.

From 2016 to 2018, Jack and Ozzy collaborated on a special project, “Ozzy and Jack’s World Detour.”

The father-son duo hit the road to visit historically significant locations and landmarks that were on their bucket list. The show ran for three seasons.

Jack also executive-produced “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne” in 2020.

Along with having a tight-knit relationship with his youngest son, Ozzy had also formed a close bond with his grandchildren.

In 2023, Osbourne opened up about Ozzy’s philosophy as a grandfather.

“My dad is like, ‘Hell, no. Like, no,’” he told Fox News Digital about changing diapers. “Because my dad’s in that era where, like, men don’t touch diapers. Like, that’s not that’s not what dads do.”

“It’s funny if my kids are at the house and like they all want to get into bed and watch TV with my mom, my dad is like, ‘Nope.’ And he like, gets out of the bed and like, goes. He’s like, ‘No, I’m not doing that,’” Jack continued. “I’m like, ‘Why?’ He’s like, ‘I don’t want them going to school being like, ‘I was in bed with my grandpa.’ He’s like, ‘No, not dealing with it.’ And I’m like, ‘OK.’ I’m like, ‘Fine, that’s your boundary. That’s your boundary.’”

Along with the actor’s kids, Ozzy was also a grandfather to Kelly’s son Sidney, whom she shares with her fiancé, Slipknot’s Sid Wilson.

Jessica, 45, is also mom to kids Isabelle, Kitty, and Harry. Louis, meanwhile, is dad to Maia and Elijah.

Weeks before Ozzy’s death, Jack spoke candidly about his dad during a screening of his 2020 documentary, “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne.”

“What are my three words to describe my dad? I would say funny, unique and powerful,” he said while at the Millennium Point Centre in Birmingham, England, on July 4. “He is an incredible man. He really is. His contribution to music is bigger than his faults. This whole weekend has been emotional.”

A day later, Ozzy would perform for the final time at Black Sabbath’s “Back to the Beginning” farewell concert.

Jack also told the audience at the Millennium Point Centre that a planned Ozzy biopic is in the works.

“We do have the film on the way. We have a lot of good forward momentum on the Ozzy biopic. We have a director attached now and the script is done and Sony Studios is going to be producing it,” he revealed. “We are really excited about it so maybe we will do the premiere here in Birmingham. It is about to go through a script rewrite. It’s going to be raw.”

“We are not pulling any punches, we are really laying it all out,” Jack admitted. “The director we have is absolutely phenomenal.”
