Jack Osbourne could be seen breaking down into tears after candidly opening up about his dad Ozzy’s 'shock' passing earlier this year.
The Black Sabbath star passed away aged 76 earlier this summer (22 July), with his cause of death announced as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
The following week (30 July), Ozzy's fans came out in their thousands to line the city centre streets of Birmingham to say their final farewells to the heavy metal rock legend, along with Sharon and her kids Aimee Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne, and Jack Osbourne, as well as Ozzy's son Louis Osbourne from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley.
Jack has been very open when it comes to his grief and has now appeared on ITV's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! where he bravely discussed how he was faring just four months after his father's death.

On the first full day in camp, the reality TV star could be seen speaking to Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, where he admitted of his dad's passing: "It was definitely a shock.
"I mean, we knew he was sick for a while, but it was definitely a shock. I mean, we didn’t know it would be that quick…"
Jack continued: "It was the ultimate mic drop; he did a massive big gig and was like, alright, I’m done."
Growing tearful, Jack then shared what Ozzy would make of his jungle signing, adding: "He’d be so supportive of this."
Later in the Bush Telegraph, the Adrenaline Junkie presenter told cameras that, while he appreciated the 'connection' with Lisa, the conversation did bring up a lot of heavy emotions.
"I’m still navigating it all; it’s been three, nearly four months, and so it’s still pretty fresh," he explained.
During a recent appearance on Good Morning America, Jack was asked how his mum, who was married to Ozzy for over 40 years, is coping.
"You know, when people have been asking me that question, I say, 'She's OK, but she's not OK'," he admitted.
When asked if she can 'feel the affection and appreciation' from fans, Jack replied: "Oh my god, yeah. I know she feels the love."
He added: "None of us expected it to be like this, with that outpour of love."
Jack later resolved: "Every child sits there and kind of has this thought about one day that parents won't be there, and what will that be like. It's just a part of being human. We just didn't think of it.
"It was a different weight to it, you know?"
