Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh and stand-up comedian Vir Das also expressed grief over the demise of Ozzy Osbourne.

Ranveer shared a photo of Ozzy on social media. He added a few emotional emojis and played the song "Zombie Stomp" in the background.

"Shed many tears. Go on home prince thank you for the soundtrack to many great moments in my life. #Ozzy," Vir Das wrote on Instagram Story.

Singer Adnan Sami wrote on X , "Ozzy Osbourne... RIP..

Osbourne's family confirmed his death in a statement: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," as quoted by Variety.

Less than three weeks ago, Osbourne performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park, telling fans, "You've no idea how I feel -- thank you from the bottom of my heart."

The concert featured performances from Osbourne's friends, including Metallica and Guns N' Roses, and was billed as the heavy metal legend's "final bow," as quoted by Variety. Following the demise, Metallica's official X account shared a photo of the band with Osbourne, accompanied by a broken heart emoji.

The official social media accounts for Rob Zombie posted a carousel of images of Osbourne, adding, "Goodbye Ozzy. Thanks for everything. It was always a blast being around you. You will be missed," as quoted by Variety.

British rock singer Yungblud paid tribute to Osbourne, whom he last saw at Black Sabbath's final concert in July. Yungblud presented Osbourne with a cross necklace that he had custom-made, returning the gesture, since Osbourne had previously gifted him the cross off his neck.

Yungblud wrote, "I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know things that we don't. I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage."

Osbourne had been recovering from several spinal surgeries as well as his battle with Parkinson's disease. He was 76.
