Ozzy passed away aged 76, surrounded by his family on Tuesday morning, after bravely battling against Parkinson's disease.
His children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis, were named along with wife Sharon in the statement.
And lesser-spotted Louis chose to pay his respects with his own tribute to his father on social media.
Ozzy's son changed his Facebook profile picture to an all-black screen.
Before tying the knot to Sharon, Ozzy had married his first wife Thelma Riley in 1971 after meeting her in a Birmingham nightclub.
Together, they welcomed children Jessica and Louis, who have been largely away from the limelight.
Jessica, who was not included in the family statement, also posted a tribute to rock legend Ozzy on Instagram.
Her story featured a pictures of her late father in black and white with the words "RIP Ozzy".
The tribute was accompanied by Ozzy's song 'Crazy Train' playing in the background.
Jessica made the Black Sabbath frontman a grandparent for the first time but never appeared in The Osbournes' TV show.
However, she was mentioned in the episode 'Smells Like Teen Spirits' when Ozzy learned that she had welcomed a daughter.
Although his wild behaviour would have been enough to see some artists blacklisted, Ozzy became a loveable rogue who captured fans' hearts across the globe.
In 2001, Ozzy appealed to a whole new audience after appearing in reality TV show The Osbournes with his family.
Its first series was the most-watched show ever on MTV and propelled Jack and Kelly into stardom, with the latter enjoying a music career of her own.
With the family's success growing, they hosted the 30th Annual American Music Awards and later the Brit Awards in London.
The family's hugely popular show ran until 2005 and portrayed heartbreaking moments for the family - including Sharon's battle with cancer and the quad bike accident that nearly killed Ozzy.
The family later starred in the reality series The Osbournes Want to Believe and special The Osbournes: Night of Terror, which both focused on paranormal investigations.
