BEVERLY HILLS – Rocker-turned-TV star Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon, praised their substance-abusing son for having the “guts to confess and to just say, ‘Help,’ ” according to a TV news magazine.

In an interview set to air tonight, the Osbournes said 17-year-old son Jack checked himself into a Pasadena, Calif., drug and alcohol rehab center on his own – without prodding from Mom and Dad.

“He had the gumption and guts to confess and to just say, ‘Help,’ ” Ozzy told the TV show “Extra.”

Sharon Osbourne said Jack came to his own realization that he needed treatment.
