(NEXSTAR) -- Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has died. He was 76 years old.

"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," his family said in a statement posted to social media and shared with various outlets.

"He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time," the statement continued. Osbourne's wife of more than 40 years, Sharon, signed the statement, as did his children, Aimee, Kelly, Jack, and Louis.

No cause of death was provided, and no additional information was released.

Osbourne announced in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. A year prior, he canceled tour dates due to health problems, including a “bad fall” in which he said he injured vertebrae in his neck. Then, in 2023, Osbourne said his touring days had "ended" due to spine damage he had suffered during an accident in 2019.

Sharon Osbourne confirmed in 2022 that her husband had undergone a "major operation." While she didn't divulge details at the time, Ozzy had earlier told Classic Rock magazine that he was "waiting on some more surgery on my neck."
