Emergency medics reportedly battled for hours to save rock icon Ozzy Osbourne before his death on Tuesday morning.

According to the Daily Mail, a Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field near his Chalfont St Giles home at 10:30 a.m., where paramedics attempted to resuscitate the Black Sabbath frontman for two hours.

A spokesperson for the air ambulance service confirmed, “We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday.” Local residents expressed concern after spotting the helicopter, with one telling the outlet, “We immediately feared it may be for him as he was known to be in fragile health.”

Osbourne’s family later released a public statement announcing his passing “with more sadness than mere words can convey.” They said the 76-year-old was “with his family and surrounded by love” in his final moments.

The Grammy-winning artist had suffered from significant health issues in recent years, including Parkinson’s disease and complications from injuries sustained in a 2003 ATV accident, worsened by a fall in 2019.

Though he retired from touring in 2023, Osbourne gave a farewell performance with his Black Sabbath bandmates earlier this month, a moment he described to Rolling Stone as his last wish: “My fans are what it’s all about.”

He is survived by wife Sharon Osbourne and six children from two marriages. The official cause of death has not yet been disclosed.
