The “Prince of Darkness” crown has been passed down to a princess.

On Wednesday, Jack Osbourne announced the birth of his fifth daughter, and the little girl has a big name: Ozzy Matilda Osbourne.

In the first glimpse of the newborn shared by the proud dad, a stuffed animal with special meaning watches over Ozzy Matilda as she slumbers — a bat! Grandpa Ozzy Osbourne famously bit off the head of a bat during a concert in 1982, after mistakenly thinking the winged creature was a rubber toy.

Ozzy Matilda is Jack’s fifth daughter. With his first wife, actress Lisa Stelly, he welcomed Pearl, 13, Andy, 10, and Minnie, 8. In July 2022, his then-fiancee (now wife) Aree Gearhart gave birth to Maple.

Jack recently opened up about a conversation he had with his father shortly before his July 2025 passing.

One night, while helping Ozzy prepare for bed, the Black Sabbath rocker looked in the mirror and told his son, “I think I’m going to cut my hair off... I’ve retired. I’m not a rock star anymore.”

In hindsight, Jack now realizes that his father “was done. He was okay with his journey,” he said, while recounting the moment on Jamie Kennedy’s *Hate to Break it to Ya* podcast.

Ozzy's passing on July 22, 2025, was still "a surprise for sure" to the Osbourne family.

"Obviously everyone knew he was sick," Jack said, "but we weren’t expecting it to be as quick as it was.”
