Jack Osbourne has welcomed his fifth child and paid tribute to his legendary father Ozzy in the process, naming his newborn daughter after the iconic heavy metal frontman.
Mr. Osbourne, 40, announced the birth on Instagram on Wednesday, revealing the baby girl’s full name as Ozzy Matilda Osbourne. He wrote in an Instagram story that “she’s arrived and she’s perfect.”
The announcement was shared in a joint Instagram post with his wife, Aree Osbourne, and his mother, Sharon Osbourne, and noted the baby was born on March 5. In her own post, Aree Osbourne wrote that their daughter “has landed earthside.”
Ozzy Osbourne, the renowned co-founder of Black Sabbath, died in July 2025 at age 76. His death certificate listed the cause of death as a heart attack, and he had also been battling Parkinson’s disease. The elder Ozzy died just 17 days after a farewell concert with Black Sabbath.

At the Grammy Awards, a supergroup featuring Post Malone on vocals alongside Andrew Watt, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan and Slash performed Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” as a tribute, with Sharon, Jack and Kelly Osbourne in the audience. At the Brit Awards, Robbie Williams performed Ozzy’s solo hit “No More Tears,” backed by a band that included Metallica’s Robert Trujillo and longtime Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde.
The newborn was pictured lying next to a cuddly bat toy, a nod to Ozzy Osbourne’s most infamous moment, when he bit the head off a real bat during a 1982 concert, believing it to be made of rubber.
Ozzy Matilda is Jack’s second child with Aree, whom he married in 2023, and his fifth child overall. He also has three children from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly.
Mr. Osbourne has spoken openly about processing his father’s death. In a YouTube video in September, he described being struck by a wave of “pain” and “sadness” upon learning of his father’s passing, which came just weeks after the band’s final show. He has also said that his wife’s pregnancy offered some relief from grief, telling The Sun last year that it had “very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things.”
