“My dad, he was so happy that he did the show and he was happy to kind of move into this next phase of his life,” Jack continued. “He wanted to, to spend more time in England. He wanted to spend more time with my kids. He wanted to spend more time with just exploring different things as much as he could.”

(…) “He wasn’t just a father to me, he was my colleague. We worked together in so many capacities. I had recently moved. There was a period where I was between houses and I moved back in with him. So he was my housemate in my late thirties. And it was awesome. Me and the kids were living here. Just a friend, a text buddy, a joke cracker.”

“I was so lucky,” he continued. “I had such a great relationship with him, and I’m so grateful. And I think that’s been — the overwhelming feeling has been gratitude. Deep gratitude. I’m so grateful that he was my father. And I’m sure people think, ‘Well, yeah, why wouldn’t you be?’ But the material component of it pales into comparison for the stuff that really, really made him a father. He was deeply complicated. He was funny and weird and awkward and clumsy and just hilarious and so insightful.”

“I’ve said this before, but I think my father was probably one of the most deliberate people you’ve ever come across. He knew what was going on all the time, and people may have thought he was checked out, but most of the time he wanted you to think he was checked out. But he was very aware always.”

He continued:

“(…) It’s been overwhelming ultimately. I know I was shocked at the outpouring of love. Shocked. And I think it’s been beautiful, and as I said earlier, it’s been validating to see that kind of outpouring of love. And I mean this — for people listening or watching — people that sent cards and did posts and whether they laid flowers up at the Birmingham Bridge or dropped them off at the house, we saw it all. We read all the letters. It didn’t go unnoticed. And I speak for the family when I say this, is that we are so grateful for that, and it meant so much. And, as I said earlier, it was validating, ’cause I know we weren’t alone.”

“Yeah, it’s been a hard six weeks as a family,” Jack added. “We’re all kind of navigating it together and alone and in our own ways. I think it’s common. The price we pay for loving someone so much is grief. And it’s the pain of grief when they’re gone. And I’m okay with that.”

“Just to say thank you to everyone and let everyone know that the family is doing okay. We’re hanging in there. We’re doing what we can to support each other and love each other. And, yeah, my father’s legacy will continue. I think Ozzy Osbourne does not end because he passed away on July 22nd,” he added. “As I’ve been saying, he’s exploding through the universe, and we’re all seeing it,” Jack Osbourne said (Transcribed by Blabbermouth).
