Jack Osbourne is paying tribute to his late father by naming his new baby after the Prince of Darkness.
The âOsbournesâ personality took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce the arrival of baby Ozzy Matilda Osbourne with a brief black-and-white clip of the baby sleeping in what appeared to be a hospital bassinet.
A small printed card near the infantâs head read âHello, World,â and revealed the birth date as March 5, 2026.
Jackâs baby was born at 8:49 a.m., weighing in at a healthy 7 pounds, 12 ounces and stretching out to all of 19 inches.
A plush bat toy also rested near little Ozzy â a reference to the Black Sabbath rockerâs infamous onstage incident in 1982, in which he bit the head off a live bat.
A rep for Jack did not immediately return Page Sixâs request for further details on the new arrival.
Baby Ozzy Matilda, now barely a week old, joins Jackâs four older children â daughters Pearl Clementine, 13, Andy Rose, 10, Minnie Theodora, 8, whom he shares with ex-wife, Lisa Stelly, and Maple Artemis, 3, whom he shares with current wife, Aree Gearhart.
The couple wed back in September 2023.
In December, Jack revealed Areeâs pregnancy during an interview with the Sun â and noted that they were able to share the news with Ozzy prior to his death in July at age 76.
âI think itâs been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing â probably in that kind of âfull cycleâ category, in a weird way,â Jack told the outlet at the time.
He added, âItâs very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.â
Jack, 40, also divulged that he and his wife, 34, were âsuper excitedâ about the impending arrival.
âItâs definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously,â he explained.
On last Wednesdayâs episode of the âHate to Break it to Yaâ podcast, Jack confessed that despite battling Parkinsonâs disease and other ailments, Ozzyâs death âwas a surprise, for sure.â
âObviously everyone knew he was sick,â he said. âBut we werenât expecting it to be as quick as it was. I think he was done.â He also shared that Ozzyâs final hours on July 22 werenât âdramatic.â
âHe was up, he was doing his thing, had some breakfast, and that was it,â Jack shared.
