In a heart-rending tribute video that has moved fans to tears, the final months of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne are lovingly recounted — not through the lens of fame and music, but through the quiet, tender moments he shared with the people who meant the most to him: his grandchildren.

The video opens with scenes of Ozzy spending time with his grandkids, smiling gently, holding them close, and letting down the hardened, chaotic image the world once knew. In these soft, fleeting moments, he is simply “Granddad,” not the Prince of Darkness.

According to the tribute, Ozzy’s final wish was not grand or dramatic — he just wanted to leave the United States and return to his beloved estate in England to retire peacefully. But that wish was delayed for months due to a series of surgeries he had to endure in the U.S.

A few months before his death, he finally made it back home. There, surrounded by his wife, children, and grandchildren, he found something he had rarely known during the height of his fame: peace. Those close to him say he spent his last days building the kind of bond with his family — especially his grandchildren — that he had once missed out on with his own children due to his career.

Clips shared by his daughter Kelly Osbourne and former daughter-in-law Lisa Stey paint a picture of a man transformed — laughing with the kids, reading with them, simply sitting in silence while holding their tiny hands. One video, posted just two days before his passing, showed Ozzy looking calm, content, and even healthy — a brief but powerful glimpse into his state of mind before he left.

In a past interview, Ozzy once admitted that he didn’t want to suffer through a slow decline or prolonged illness. “If I go, I want it to be quick,” he had said. The tribute subtly suggests he may have gotten that wish — going peacefully, suddenly, and surrounded by the people who gave his final chapter the sweetness and softness that had long eluded him.

The video ends on a bittersweet note, calling Ozzy a “loving grandfather” whose time with his grandkids may have been short — but unforgettable. It’s a side of him the world rarely saw, but one his family will carry with them forever.
