Medics Were Called to Ozzy Osbourne's Buckinghamshire Mansion Before His Death – Details

Locals grew alarmed after spotting a helicopter landing in a nearby field and hovering for hours, only later learning it had been dispatched in a final attempt to save the legendary musician.

An air ambulance was dispatched to Ozzy Osbourne's Buckinghamshire estate on the morning of Tuesday, July 22, 2025, as paramedics responded to an emergency call concerning the music legend's health.

The Thames Valley Air Ambulance landed in a field near Welders House, Ozzy's Grade II-listed mansion in Chalfont St Giles, at approximately 10:30 a.m.

The helicopter was sent from its base at RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, nearly 27 miles away, after emergency call handlers were reportedly informed that Ozzy's life was at risk.

Paramedics remained on-site for about two hours, attempting to save the Black Sabbath frontman. According to the Daily Mail, this marks the first publicly known detail of the final moments leading up to Ozzy's passing.

Residents near the mansion reported hearing and seeing the helicopter before news of Ozzy's death broke.

A local from Jordans, the neighboring village, who wished to remain anonymous, stated, "I went out to have a look and saw that it was landing close to Ozzy's house. All of us were talking about it and wondering what had happened."

"We immediately feared it may be for him as he was known to be in fragile health. When we heard later that night that he had died it confirmed our worst fears," they concluded.

Another nearby resident named Jane recounted, "I was out walking when I saw the helicopter landing close to Welders and realised something serious was happening…. Ozzy Osbourne was quite a character and we'll miss him."

A spokesperson for Thames Valley Air Ambulance revealed, "We can confirm that our helicopter was dispatched to provide advanced critical care at an incident near Chalfont St Giles yesterday."

The helicopter, which took around 15 minutes to reach the location, was observed taking off again at approximately 12:30 p.m. and flying over the nearby area of Jordans.

The call to the Welders' House and the swift medical response reflect the seriousness of the situation Ozzy faced on that day.

The rock icon died on July 22 at the age of 76. In his final moments, however, he was not alone. Ozzy passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, including his eldest daughter, Aimee Osbourne, who has long avoided the spotlight.

In a joint statement, the Osbourne family said, "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."

The message was signed by Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis Osbourne.

Ozzy had returned to the stage just weeks before his death. On July 5, 2025, he performed at Villa Park in Birmingham, a show many now believe was his final farewell to fans.

In the days leading up to his passing, Aimee was seen in the United Kingdom, including a sighting in Manchester where she was photographed leaving a hotel with Wes Leavins, who is currently on tour.

Known for her private lifestyle and limited public appearances, her presence in the U.K. signaled the importance of family during her father's final days.

A close friend of the family shared that Ozzy had always intended to return to the U.K. and live out the rest of his life in his home country, specifically to the family home in Buckinghamshire. "It was where Sharon had spent so long preparing their family home for him," the friend said.

The Osbournes' Buckinghamshire estate, located in the English countryside, is a sprawling Grade II-listed property surrounded by manicured gardens and traditional stone walls.

The historic home features classic Georgian architecture with large sash windows, a slate roof, and red brick walls partially covered in lush green ivy. The contrast between the exposed brick and climbing greenery adds to the property's timeless charm.

Outside, a long, gated driveway leads up to the stately residence, offering privacy and seclusion. A vast courtyard and parking area are in front of the property, enough for the Osbourne family's cars, and with enough room for their guests as well.

In preparation for his return, Sharon and Ozzy had added a rehabilitation wing to their Buckinghamshire estate, designed to support Ozzy as he battled Parkinson's disease. The home also includes a health and wellness exercise studio and a pool house orangery.

In his final days, all of his children were reportedly present. "Kelly has been at the house a lot in the last week or so, so has Aimee," the friend added. "It is terribly sad for all of them. They really hoped he would be able to carry on for a bit longer."

Following his death, Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates shared heartfelt tributes on social media, offering sympathies to both the Osbourne family and fans, while mourning their own loss.

Drummer Bill Ward wrote, "Where will I find you now? In the memories, our unspoken embraces, our missed phone calls, no, you're forever in my heart." He added, "Sincere regrets to all the fans. Never goodbye. Thank you forever. Bill Ward."

Guitarist Tony Iommi expressed shock on Instagram, writing, "I just can't believe it! My dear dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park. It's just such heartbreaking news that I can't really find the words, there won't ever be another like him. Geezer, Bill and myself have lost our brother. [sic]" He also extended his thoughts to the Osbourne family.

Bassist Geezer Butler shared a message on X, saying, "Goodbye dear friend — thanks for all those years — we had some great fun. Four kids from Aston — who'd have thought, eh? So glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston. Love you."

While Ozzy had faced ongoing health issues in recent years, the family expressed gratitude that he was able to spend his final moments at home, surrounded by love. Aimee, though rarely seen in public, was there as part of the close family circle — quietly by her father's side as the world said goodbye to a rock icon.

Ozzy was, and will remain, a beloved figure in the music world. Just weeks before his death, he was honored with a dedicated exhibition in Birmingham, which Sharon attended on June 25, 2025.

Sharon attended the opening ceremony of "Ozzy: Working Class Hero," an exhibition honoring her husband.

Held at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the free show was officially launched with the television personality cutting a black ribbon. Organized by Central BID Birmingham and Birmingham Museums Trust, the exhibition will remain open until September 28, 2025.

Sharon Osbourne wore a cream blazer over a black blouse and matching trousers. Her signature red hair was styled loose, and she completed the look with round glasses and dangling earrings. The event marked a significant moment in Ozzy's hometown, spotlighting his journey from humble beginnings in Aston to international stardom.

The exhibition showcases a wide array of Ozzy's achievements, including his Grammy Awards, MTV accolades, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, and both his Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars honors.

Also on display are his platinum and gold discs. Photographs and videos chart his evolution from a working-class youth in Aston to becoming a global rock icon.

Fans can pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne by visiting the exhibition in his honor at Birmingham Museums, open through September 28, 2025. The exhibit is available to the public Wednesdays through Fridays, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
