During the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Jack Osbourne and Ozzy’s grandkids (Pearl, Andy, Minnie, and Maple) made a surprise appearance that instantly melted hearts. It wasn’t a full-on performance or the night’s opening act, but it was a moment fans won’t forget. Seeing some of the Osbournes together on screen brought an immediate sense of family pride and rock ‘n’ roll energy. Perfectly capturing the mix of love and chaos that has always been part of Ozzy’s story.

Jack and the kids were there to celebrate his legendary musical career, and their presence added a very personal, very human touch to the evening. It wasn’t about the flashiest production or the loudest performance. It was about legacy, love, and giving fans a glimpse of Ozzy’s world beyond the stage. The moment reminded viewers that Ozzy’s influence isn’t just in the music. It’s in the family that carries his spirit forward.

“I wish we could be there with you all tonight as you celebrate my dad’s amazing musical journey,” Jack said in the video message. “I know for sure it would make him incredibly happy to see these great musicians carry on his legacy and help inspire the next generation of rockers. I’d like to give a special shout out to Dom [Yungblud], Nuno, Steve and Joe from Aerosmith. We love you, Dad.” It was heartfelt, personal, and full of love.

Then the grandkids had their moment, jumping in with one electrifying line: “And the words of our Papa… Let’s go, crazy!” Their energy perfectly captured who Ozzy was, showing how the next generation is ready to carry on his legacy. It was brief, adorable, and full of rock ‘n’ roll attitude. A perfect family cameo that reminded fans just how much Ozzy’s influence continues to shine.

The tribute blended seamlessly into the show, highlighting the artists who’ve been inspired by Ozzy over the years. From shout-outs for those honoring Ozzy at the VMAs to the adorable cameo from the grandkids, it was clear that Ozzy’s influence spans generations. Fans will likely be calling it one of the night’s sweetest and most heartfelt highlights.

It seems like the Osbournes know exactly how to honor a rock legend: with love, energy, and just the right amount of chaos. There’s something special about seeing a family carry forward a legacy that shaped the sound of rock music for decades. Jack and the kids reminded everyone watching that Ozzy Osbourne wasn’t just a musician or a cultural icon. He was a dad, a Papa, and an irreplaceable force whose spirit keeps rocking on.
