Ozzy Osbourne’s sister has revealed the heartbreaking text message he sent prior to his death at the age of 76.

On Tuesday (July 22), Ozzy’s family announced that he had sadly died, ‘surrounded by love’ at the age of 76.

Following Ozzy’s death, the family shared a statement.

It read: “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.”

Ozzy leaves behind his wife, Sharon, and their children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack. He is also survived by Jessica and Louis, from his first marriage to Thelma Riley, as well as his grandchildren.

Now, Ozzy’s sister, Jean Powell, has spoken about her brother and the last time they spoke.

Jean told the Daily Mirror: “We saw him in Birmingham the other week when he and the rest of the band were given the freedom of the city.

“It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes.

“To us he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it’s crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced.

“We just can’t believe he is gone and we won’t be getting another phone call or text from him. Every week without fail he would get in touch, either by phone or text, to ask how we were all doing and what was going on.”
