The world of music and showbiz is reeling following the sad news that metal legend Ozzy Osbourne has died aged 76.
Ozzy, who fronted the rock band Black Sabbath, whose final performance came earlier this month, died at home surrounded by his family, and the news was confirmed in a statement on social media.
"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," the statement read.
"He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time."
The statement was signed by Ozzy's widow, Sharon, 72, and four of the late singer's children: his three kids with Sharon, Kelly, 40, Jack, 39, Aimee, 41, and his Louis, 50, from a former marriage.
Fans will notice, however, that two of his older children were missing from the initial statement released by the family. In addition to the four names listed, Ozzy was a dad to his oldest daughter, Jessica, and a son Elliot, whom he adopted while married to Thelma Riley.
While Elliot remains largely private, Jessica reposted a tribute from Mario Lopez, writing: "RIP Ozzy" alongside his 1980 hit 'Crazy Train.'
Louis, who was Ozzy and Thelma's eldest child, also marked the devastating news by simply changing his Facebook profile picture to a black square, and he joined Sharon, Aimee, Jack and Kelly Osbourne during the funeral procession for the late rocker in Birmingham on 30 July.

Ozzy Osbourne's two older kids missing from tribute
Ozzy married his first wife, Thelma, in 1971. Thelma was already a father to her son, Elliot Kingsley, 59, from a previous relationship, and Ozzy would go on to adopt him as his own son.
Not much is known about Elliot as he chooses to live a life away from the public eye, unlike his famous siblings.
Meanwhile, Jessica, 53, is Ozzy's eldest daughter, who went on to become an actress. In the 2011 documentary, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, Jessica described their childhood as "erratic".
Thelma and Ozzy divorced in 1982, and the same year, he married Sharon. With Sharon, Ozzy would go on to welcome three more children who have gone on to have their own kids, making Ozzy a grandfather to ten children.
Ozzy Osbourne's family he leaves behind
Ozzy's other children he leaves behind are Aimee, Kelly and Jack.
Aimee, 41, is Ozzy and Sharon, eldest child, and perhaps the least well-known.
Aimee opted out of appearing on their reality TV show, The Osbournes, but is also in the world of showbiz.
Kelly and Jack, however, did appear on the reality show and so became household names along with their famous parents.
Tributes for metal legend Ozzy
Tributes immediately began pouring in for the singer, who was the recipient of multiple prestigious awards throughout his impressive career.
"So sad to hear the news of Ozzy Osbourne passing away," Sir Elton John shared on social media. He was a dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods – a true legend.
"He was also one of the funniest people I've ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love. Elton xx."
Rod Stewart said: "Bye, Bye Ozzy. Sleep well, my friend. I'll see you up there – later rather than sooner."
His Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi also shared an emotional tribute, writing: "I just can't believe it! My dear, dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park."
"It's just such heartbreaking news that I can't really find the words; there won't ever be another like him. Geezer (Butler), Bill (Ward) and I have lost our brother. My thoughts go out to Sharon and all the Osbourne family. Rest in peace, Oz. Tony."
