It was confirmed Ozzy tragically died today, following a battle with Parkinson's.

But Sid, 48, had an even bigger surprise for Kelly, 40, when he dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him.
Stood in front of Sharon and Ozzy, they appeared to have an idea of what was to come as the former X Factor judge could be heard saying to everyone in the room: "You've got to be quiet!"
Sid then took the hand of Kelly, who was dressed down in some comfy leopard print trousers and a simple black hoodie.
He said to the TV personality: "Kelly, you know I love you more than anything in the world!"
Ozzy then appeared to give the game away as he jokingly quipped with his signature potty mouth: "F*** off, you are not marrying my daughter!"
The group laughed before Sid continued as he said: "I want to spend the rest of my life with you – and ask in front of all of our family and friends, Kelly, will you marry me?"
Kelly turned her head as she looked on open-mouthed before Sid began to stand up and place the ring onto her finger.
Proud dad Ozzy could not hold back his excitement after the incredible news.
The star and Sharon were among those beaming and cheering after the cute moment.
The legendary rocker has been married for over 40 years to X Factor icon Sharon, 71.
Sid proposed to Kelly with a bespoke custom-designed ring from Los Angeles based jewellers, Mouawad.
He designed the ring with the team through various one-on-one meetings in order to ensure it was right for Kelly.
Sid chose to curate a dazzling 18K yellow gold ring adorned with both white and yellow diamonds, as well as citrine accents.
Kelly and the Slipknot star had actually been friends for over 20 years before they took their friendship to the next level in 2022.
Ozzy's family statement
BLACK Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne has died at the age of 76.
A statement from his family said: "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. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.
"Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis."
Their son was born later that year, prompting Kelly to tell her fans that becoming a mum "is the best thing that ever happened to me."
She's also frequently heaped praised on her partner, calling him "My best friend, my soulmate," and adding, "After 23 years of friendship, I can't believe where we have ended up!"
The engagement came backstage as Ozzy played his final ever show with Black Sabbath at Villa Park.
The rocker, 76, had curated a day of epic rock music with a series of iconic bands and stars lined up to play before his final farewell set.
Called Back To The Beginning, it was frontman and rock veteran Ozzy's last time performing on stage amid his worsening diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
It was the first time in 20 years that the original Black Sabbath line-up have performed together.
Ozzy had vowed it would be his final performance due to his deteriorating health.
He went public with his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020 before finally succumbing to the disease in his health battle.
Ozzy Osbourne's iconic career
The singer then pursued his love of music after hearing The Beatles hit She Loves You in 1963, aged 15.
After appearing in a handful of school plays, Ozzy joined Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler in their first group Rare Breed in 1967.
When that band split, the pair reunited in Polka Tulk Blues alongside Tony Iommi and drummer Bill Ward.
The group later became known as Black Sabbath and went onto shatter the music world with their whining guitar solos, Occult-based lyrics and Ozzy's screeching vocals.
In 1970, the group gained a cult following in both the US and UK after releasing their eponymous first album.
Black Sabbath saw incredible success with hit tracks such as Paranoid but discord in the group saw most of the original line-up leave.
Ozzy himself quit the band in 1978, with a spiral into drug abuse leading to a divorce from first wife Thelma Mayfair, who he had two children with.
It was then he first met a young Sharon Arden, who Ozzy at first wrote off as he believed she would think he was a "lunatic".
But the singer could not be more wrong and the pair married in Hawaii in July 1982 before going on to have three children together, Aimee, Kelly and Jack.
With Sharon's encouragement and help from her music manager dad Don, he began to carve out a successful solo career.
His seminal first album Blizzard of Ozz in 1980 became a multi-platinum success thanks to Ozzy's howling vocals and macabre laugh on hit Crazy Train.
Coupled with the Prince of Darkness' insane tour that saw him bite the head off a live bat, a string of successful tracks followed – cementing Ozzy as a rock legend around the world.
In 1992, the singer announced his retirement but four years later created the beloved annual music festival Ozzfest with Sharon, which featured heavy metal acts touring the US and some of Europe.
Ozzy returned to Black Sabbath in 1999, with the band winning a Grammy for best metal performance for the song Iron Man.
They later earned the same award in 2013 after releasing single God Is Dead? from album 13.
