OZZY Osbourne's youngest child Jack has issued an emotional tribute to his late father.
The tribute included a quote from American journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson.
Jack issued the tribute this morning on social media after staying quiet in the wake of his dad's death.
The Black Sabbath legend, who died on July 22, was laid to rest next to the lake in his Buckinghamshire home last Thursday.
Ozzy's youngest son shared a short video compilation of clips and photographs of himself and his father and extended family together.
Jack said: "I haven't really wanted to post anything since the passing of my father.
"My heart has hurt too much. I'm gonna keep this short because he certainly hated long rambling speeches.
"He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him Dad.'
"My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude.
"I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing. I think this quote best describes my father."
The tribute was followed by a quote from Hunter S. Thompson, known for writing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
It read: "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body… but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a ride!'"
Jack went on to say that the quote from the American author summed up his dad, adding "he lived his life fully."
It comes after Ozzy Osbourne's cause of death was confirmed last night.
The legendary rocker passed away just weeks after he took to the stage one final time at Villa Park in Birmingham.
