Ozzy Osbourne was laid to rest on Wednesday July 30, and his family were distraught as they visited the floral tribute left to the singer in Birmingham.
One member of the family, Lisa Stelly, Ozzy’s former daughter-in-law, appeared to have stayed home but she took to social media to share a personal message of support to her ex-husband Jack and the Osbourne family.
“He loved his grandbabies so much,” Lisa shared alongside a picture with one of his granddaughters.
She continued: “Always making u laugh, miss you forever papa.”
Papa was what Ozzy’s grandchildren called him.
