Sharon Osbourne posted a wholesome new snap of Ozzy Osbourne cuddling his grandson Sid as the famous rockstar deals with Parkinson's disease.

The 74-year-old heavy metal legend was seen sharing a sweet moment with his nine-month-old grandson as the musician held the baby as they laughed together. In the snap, Ozzy was seen with eyes playfully opened wide and hand clasped over his mouth as he joked around with his daughter Kelly Osbourne's child.

Kelly gave birth to her son Sid in November of 2022 with her boyfriend Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson after keeping her pregnancy a secret for nine months. The 38-year-old mum admitted later that she kept her pregnancy under wraps in fear of being "fat shamed" by the public.

One fan wrote: "So sweet, I hope Ozzy is doing well and feeling better" followed by a red heart emoji. Another commented: "So great to see Ozzy !!!! He sure looks happy!!!!!" while a third added: "How cool would it be to have Ozzy as your grandad."

In July of this year the Iron Man singer was spotted leaving the hospital after he was forced to cancel his performance at a music festival due to a health scare. He later revealed to his devoted fans that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. His health became worse following a fall in his home in 2019 and a prior spinal injury the singer experienced from a biking accident in 2009.

Parkinson's Disease's symptoms can vary from patient to patient, but the disease is a brain disorder that can typically cause uncontrollable bodily movement. This can include unintended shaking, stiffness, difficulty with coordination, and issues with balance. Symptoms for patients worsen over time with some patients eventually experiencing difficulties talking and walking.

But despite the upsetting news, Sharon and her daughter gave fans an optimistic update confirming that Ozzy is continuing to live his life and make new music. Following the diagnosis Kelly spoke to the Daily Mail and said: "He's got Parkinson's and a terrible spine surgery and he's still getting up every day, and still making music, and still doing singing lessons."
