The Osbourne family is saying goodbye to Ozzy.

The late Black Sabbath frontman’s widow Sharon and their kids Kelly, Jack and Aimee joined thousands of fans lined up in the streets of his hometown in Birmingham, England, at his funeral procession on Wednesday.

Ozzy’s son Louis, 50, whom he had with his first wife, Thelma Riley, was also there.

The Osbournes were dressed in black and gave the peace sign to bystanders as they arrived at the emotional farewell.

Sharon, 72, and her kids were in tears as they laid purple flowers at a memorial for the heavy metal icon. The memorial was also filled with notes and gifts.

The former “The Talk” co-host wore a ring around her neck that appeared to be Ozzy’s wedding band.

At one point, Sharon hugged Kelly, 40, and held Jack’s hands as she broke down in front of the memorial.

Kelly also shared an emotional hug with her fiancé, Sid Wilson, and their 2-year-old son, Sidney.

Sharon and Ozzy’s rarely-seen daughter Aimee was also photographed alongside her loved ones. The musician has often kept a low profile and refused to appear in the family’s MTV reality show, which aired from 2002 to 2005.

The Prince of Darkness died “surrounded by love” last Tuesday at age 76.

“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,” the Osbourne family said in a statement.

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis,” the message read.

Ozzy previously made his funeral wishes clear in a Dear Ozzy column for The Times of London in 2011.

“I honestly don’t care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle, and We Are the Diddymen if it makes ’em happy,” he revealed to the outlet. “But I do want to make sure it’s a celebration, not a mope-fest,” he wrote.

Ozzy added, “I’d also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of ‘death.’ There’ll be no harping on the bad times.”

“So to answer your question,” Ozzy wrote, “yes, a bit of planning is the right thing to do for the family you leave behind.”

Two weeks before his death, Ozzy — who had Parkinson’s disease — performed his final show with Black Sabbath for a crowd of 42,000 people at Villa Park in Birmingham.

The late rocker performed solo songs “I Don’t Know,” “Mr. Crowley,” “Suicide Solution,” “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “Crazy Train,” while the group performed “War Pigs,” “N.I.B.,” “Iron Man” and “Paranoid.”

“You have no idea how I feel,” he told the crowd before his final bow. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
