Jack Osbourne Shares a Photo of His Baby Daughter Named After Ozzy — and Fans Say She Already Has His Smile

Aug 03, 2026 by apost team

On July 31, 2026 — just days after the first anniversary of Ozzy Osbourne's death — his son Jack posted a photograph that stopped fans in their tracks. It showed Jack, 40, sitting cross-legged in a park under a tree, holding his four-month-old daughter in a pink onesie. The baby was smiling directly at the camera. And the smile, as hundreds of commenters immediately noted, was unmistakably her grandfather's.

"Little miss ozz already has a mischievous sparkle," Jack wrote in the caption.

The baby's name is Ozzy Matilda Osbourne. She was born on March 5, 2026, weighing 7 pounds and 12 ounces — eight months after Ozzy Osbourne died of a heart attack on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. Jack has said his father knew he was going to be a grandfather again before he passed. Ozzy Matilda is Jack's second child with his wife Aree Osbourne, whom he married in 2023. They also share daughter Maple Artemis, 4. Jack is also father to Pearl Clementine, 14, Andy Rose, 11, and Minnie Theodora, 8, from his previous marriage to Lisa Stelly.

Ozzy Osbourne — the Prince of Darkness, the co-founder of Black Sabbath — was also, by virtually every account from those who knew him, deeply funny, goofy, and genuinely warm. "He would not want us to all be sat around, shedding tears, because that's not his vibe. He did not like people crying in front of him," Jack said on Instagram when marking the anniversary of his death. He asked fans instead to share their favorite Ozzy stories.

The photograph of Ozzy Matilda did exactly what it needed to. It made people smile.

The comments on Jack's post reflected the mixture of grief and joy the image provoked. "Not to sound cliche, but she honestly had your dad's smirk," one fan wrote. Another added: "She's Ozzy's granddaughter for sure." A third wrote: 

She has that look in her eye like she's about to do something iconic.

Sharon Osbourne, Jack's mother and Ozzy's widow, commented with a series of heart emojis.

The photograph arrived just as the Osbourne family was navigating the first full anniversary of Ozzy's death — a period Jack has described as bringing a "mixed bag of emotions." The grief has been real and public. So has the joy. Ozzy Matilda exists because Jack and Aree chose to name a new life after the one that ended, and the mischievous sparkle already visible in that pink onesie is, as everyone looking at the photograph seems to agree, the grandfather she never met, reflected back.

Ozzy Osbourne's legacy — the music, the mythology, the long and improbable career — is well documented. Less documented but no less real is what those who loved him remember: the silliness, the warmth, the humor that existed alongside and sometimes despite everything else. "He did not like people crying in front of him," Jack has said.

Jack Osbourne is the father of five daughters. One of them carries his father's name. On July 31, 2026, he showed the world her smile. And the world, in the comment section of a single Instagram post, recognized someone it had been missing for just over a year.
