How Ozzy Osbourne's family members each paid tribute to singer in their own special way

The heavy metal pioneer's body has been laid to rest in a coffin decorated with purple flowers that spelled out "Ozzy", with the hearse displaying a purple crucifix.

Sharon was distraught as she walked the streets of Birmingham at the head of the procession, with her children Jack, Kelly, and Aimee holding her hands in support. 

Each of Ozzy's family members paid tribute to the Prince of Darkness in their own special way, as they donned everything from gold crosses to purple ties in memory of the patriarch.

Sharon was inconsolable as she said goodbye to her husband of 43 years, and wore his wedding ring on a gold chain around her neck to keep him close. She laid purple flowers at his memorial and was supported by her children on the devastating day.

Ozzy's youngest son, Jack, wore a small silver cross pin on his tie in honor of his father, who was always seen wearing a cross pendant, whether it was on stage or on their hit reality TV show, The Osbournes.

The TV personality wore a pair of purple round wire-rimmed glasses, a look that Ozzy was famous for. She shared a touching tribute to her dad days after his death, posting lyrics from Ozzy's song "Changes". 

"I feel unhappy I am so sad," she wrote on July 24. "I lost the best friend I ever had."

Ozzy and Sharon's eldest daughter, Aimee, paid tribute to the 76-year-old with a bat brooch on her blazer, referencing the story of when the rocker bit the head off a real bat in 1982.

Ozzy's son from his first marriage to Thelma Riley gave a nod to his father with a purple tie adorned with skull and crossbones designs, referencing Black Sabbath's famous imagery. His siblings Jessica and Elliot did not attend the funeral.

Kelly's fiancé, Sid, who proposed to her at her father's Back to the Beginning concert in July, walked beside the family with their son Sidney in his arms. He is a member of the heavy metal band Slipknot and has been dating Kelly since early 2022. 

The singer's family announced his death in a statement on July 22, writing: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning."

"He was with his family and surrounded by love," the statement continued. "We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis."
