Jack Osbourne is an actor, host, reality TV star, and media personality. He is the son of iconic Heavy Metal singer Ozzy Osbourne and music manager/TV Host of The Talk, Sharon Osbourne. Along with his sister Kelly, he starred on MTV's hugely successful reality series The Osbournes (2002–2005) which chronicled life inside the Osbourne family. Jack gained high visibility on the show and was mostly perceived as a rebellious teenager. He grew up in front of the camera and the three years the series was on the air had a profound impact on his adult view of the world. After a stint in rehab, he has remained sober and has talked openly about his addiction struggles, depression, and his diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 2012.

In his career, Osbourne has hosted many TV shows for network TV including the BBC, The Travel Channel, and the History Channel with titles such as Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie (2005–2009) and BBC's Saving Planet Earth (2007). He competed on Season 17 of Dancing with The Stars, placing third with his family in the audience cheering him on. His openness on the show about his MS struggle endeared him to worldwide audiences and he was lauded for destigmatizing his illness. Jack and Ozzy also starred in the History Channel reality TV series, Ozzy & Jack's World Detour, and in 2020, he reunited with both his mother and father for the Travel Channel show, The Osbournes Want To Believe. The show concentrated on Jack trying to convince Ozzy and Sharon about the existence of paranormal activity.

Jack lives in Los Angeles and is the proud father of three daughters, Pearl, Andy Rose, and Minnie Theodora.
