An air ambulance was rushed to Ozzy Osbourne’s country estate as paramedics fought to save his life, Daily Mail has revealed.
The emergency helicopter landed in a field near Welders House—Ozzy’s mansion—at around 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
Reports suggest that 911 calls from the home made it clear the Black Sabbath legend was in critical condition.
The helicopter was dispatched from RAF Benson in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, about 27 miles away, and reached the estate near Chalfont St Giles, Buckinghamshire, in just 15 minutes.
Paramedics reportedly spent around two hours with Ozzy at the scene, doing everything they could—but sadly, they were unable to save him.
This helicopter response offers the first behind-the-scenes glimpse into the final moments of the rock icon’s life.

Locals in the village of Jordans, which borders Ozzy Osbourne’s estate, told MailOnline they knew “something serious” was happening when they heard a helicopter circling above Welders House before it landed nearby.
Jordans is a quiet, historic village in Buckinghamshire, just a short distance from Chalfont St Giles, England. Known for its peaceful countryside and Quaker heritage, the village sits next to the grounds of the Osbourne family’s mansion.
The helicopter was spotted taking off again around 12:30 p.m.

One resident told the Daily Mail: “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.”
Ozzy’s 125-year-old country mansion sits on a 350-acre estate that he and Sharon bought back in 1993 for an undisclosed amount.
Just weeks before his return to the UK for his farewell concert in Birmingham, the property underwent major renovations. The upgrades included a private rehab wing, a swimming pool, and a pond—designed to help Ozzy spend more time there as his health declined.
Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary “Prince of Darkness” and a towering figure in heavy metal, has d**d at the age of 76.
His family confirmed the news in a statement to The Sun on Tuesday, saying, “With more sadness than words can express, we share that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning. He was surrounded by his family and deeply loved. We kindly ask for privacy during this difficult time — Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis.”
Osbourne’s passing comes over five years after he publicly revealed his battle with Parkinson’s disease in January 2020.
