‘You learn things from your grandparents, you know, and just having the ability to have a kind of closeness and a rapport with their grandparents is, it’s priceless.’
In another scene, Jack spoke about his concerns to mum Sharon, telling her: ‘I honestly, what breaks my heart is thinking about like you and Pearl’s relationship.
‘You guys are so close, and then that’s like bye, see you once a year, twice a year.’
Sharon then interjected: ‘No, it’s not gonna be that, Jack. It would never be once, twice a year with the kids, ever.’
He replied: ‘How can it be any other way?
‘As I say, we don’t have unlimited time with you guys as parents. You guys want to spend less time with us now.’
At the start of the documentary, Ozzy opened up about his daily health struggles which left him unable to walk far.
The Black Sabbath frontman, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22 surrounded by his family. He was buried a week later on July 30.

In a piece to camera, he candidly said: ‘When I was 69, I can vividly remember saying to myself “I’m 69 and I don’t feel that bad”.
‘As soon as I hit 70, the f***ing trapped doors opened. I can’t walk very far without getting out of breath.
‘I used to work out all the time and I can’t do it no more. I used to do an hour on the ecliptical a day.’
BBC cameras had followed Ozzy and his wife Sharon as they prepared to leave America and return to the UK permanently before his passing.
Back in August, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home – billed as a ‘moving and inspirational account of the last chapter’ of the star’s life – was suddenly removed from TV listings just hours before broadcast.
Soon after it emerged that the BBC allegedly had no choice but to take last minute action due to Ozzy’s family’s worry at the speed in which the show was made amid their ‘race’ against Paramount+ to air the rocker’s final months.
Crews for both platforms were given access to Ozzy for the final three years of his life, with the channels said to have been battling to be the first to air the unseen footage.
