People have raised similar questions after noticing a strange detail in the statement the Osbournes released about Ozzy's death.
The rock legend known as the Prince of Darkness passed away on July 22 at the age of 76, surrounded by his family.
Following the heartbreaking news, the Osbourne family released a joint statement confirming his passing: “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.”
But fans quickly noticed a puzzling omission from the tribute: two of Ozzy’s children, Jessica and Elliot, were not mentioned.
Ozzy shared six children in total - Jack, Kelly, and Aimee with his wife Sharon, and Louis and Jessica with his first wife, Thelma Riley, whose son Elliot he also adopted.
The absence of Jessica and Elliot in the family’s official statement has fueled speculation. Jessica did share a short tribute on Instagram, posting a story that read “RIP Ozzy.”
Elliot, who has no public social media presence and lives in New Zealand, has not made any public comment.
The Black Sabbath frontman had battled Parkinson’s disease for over two decades and was unable to walk in the final stretch of his life.
Yet, true to form, he managed to return to the stage for one final show on July 5.
Hosted at Villa Park and dubbed Back to the Beginning, the concert was a massive celebration of metal and memory, raising an incredible $190 million for charity.
Despite the complexities and the health struggles, Ozzy lived his final years on his own terms - returning the UK, performing one last time, and leaving behind a musical legacy that shaped generations.
He had long made his funeral wishes clear. “There'll be no harping on the bad times,” Ozzy told The Times in 2011.
“It’s worth remembering that a lot of people see nothing but misery their whole lives, so by any measure, most of us in this country — especially rock stars like me — are very lucky. That’s why I don’t want my funeral to be sad, I want it to be a time to say ‘Thanks’.”
In the days following his death, Ozzy’s older sisters, Jean Powell (85) and Gillian Hemming (80), offered touching insight into their brother’s final moments and legacy.
“We saw him in Birmingham the other week when he and the rest of the band were given the freedom of the city,” Jean told the Mirror. “It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes.”
Jean recalled their last interaction during the Villa Park show: “I got a text off him as he drove down Lodge Road, where we used to live near the stadium. He said he couldn’t believe all the crowds were walking down our old street to watch him perform. He was blown away.”
The sisters, who stayed up all night reminiscing after his death, were candid in their grief. “To us he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it’s crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced,” Jean said. “We just can’t believe he is gone and we won’t be getting another phone call or text from him.”
