Jack Osbourne has felt dad Ozzy Osbourne’s presence in the days, weeks and months following the iconic rocker’s death.
“I was on a shoot, I had to go down to Mexico. … It was a hellacious travel day and I woke up and I’m in a pissed off mood,” Jack, 40, said on a Friday, September 4, episode of the Good Night with Ben Gleib YouTube show. “I end up getting to the airport and I’m just in my head having one of those real negative, like s***y just whatever moments. And I got my backpack on, headphones marching through this airport and someone comes running up next to me and bumps me.”
He continued, “At which point, I’m like, ‘The f***?’ And I look up and this guy runs off. He was clearly late for a flight and he’s wearing a Black Sabbath patch on the back of his vest. I’m like, ‘OK, message heard.’”
Jack recalled getting a connecting flight through Guadalajara and experiencing another sign.
“I’m in the back of the plane,” he said. “I’m sat there. I just want to get home to see my kids. And then I take my headphone[s] out because they’re making the announcement. I’m like, just making sure I’m on the right plane.”
He continued, “All of a sudden, I hear my dad’s music playing. And I look over to my right and there must’ve been this 65-70 year old Mexican cowboy dude sat there, just watching one of my dad’s music videos. I’m just kind of like, ‘What the f***?’ OK, message heard. Message heard.”
News broke in July 2025 that Ozzy died after a battle with Parkinson’s disease. He was 76. Months later, Jack opened up about learning of his father’s death after just spending a week in the U.K. with his family.
“I woke up in Los Angeles to a knock at my house door, at around 3:45 in the morning. Someone who’s worked for my family for probably 30 years now was knocking on my door. When I looked through my window and saw it was him, I just knew something bad had happened,” Jack explained in a YouTube video in September 2025.
He continued, “I was informed that my father had passed. … Immediately, I don’t know … just pain. Sadness and pain. So many thoughts. You go through this of like, feeling sad and frustrated and angry. … But there was a level of like, OK, he’s not suffering anymore, he’s not struggling, and that is something.”
