JACK OSBOURNE says his father Ozzy is visiting him and his family in dreams that, upon cross-referencing, are eerily similar.

Jack, 40, recently appeared on the Sirius XM radio show of family friend Billy Morrison – the guitarist who recorded with Ozzy not long before he died last July and who helped him with his sobriety.

During the interview, conducted on the Ozzy’s Boneyard station, Jack says his father repeatedly comes to him from beyond the grave.

“It’s happened to my wife, it’s happened to my daughters – we all keep having dreams about him. In the dreams, he is laughing,” Jack tells Morrison, audibly fighting back tears.

“And he is saying ‘just stop fucking crying’. He’s laughing every time. Me and my wife, my daughters, all the same thing. We keep seeing him in our dreams laughing.

“There was very little that he left hanging.

“He did his gig – that he was very, very happy about. He finished his book. He did a bunch of artwork for this chimpanzee charity.

“He finished two documentaries. It just goes on and on. He was just like, ‘Check, check, check, check, check’.”

Morrison responded: “It’s almost like he turned and said ‘am I done now?”‘

At this point Morrison said he had also been visited by Osbourne senior, who died on July 22 last year aged 76. “‘I’ve seen him,” said Morrison. “He’s good, Jack. He’s not in pain.”

Discussing his father’s death from a heart attack, Jack says: “We knew dad was sick for a while. We knew … there was like, a kinda laundry list of things that were popping up.

“One thing would lead to another but we didn’t think it was going to be what it was.

“Who ever placed the bet that Ozzy Osbourne would die in some sort of drug-fuelled, crazy… they lost that bet.”
