Jack Osbourne appears with his children to honor late father Ozzy Osbourne at MTV VMAs

Jack Osbourne and his four children were featured in a segment during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday honoring the late family patriarch Ozzy Osbourne.

The London-born TV personality, 39, is father to four children - Pearl Clementine,13, Andy Rose, 10, and Minnie Theodora, seven, with ex-wife Lisa Stelly, 38; and daughter Maple, three, with wife Aree Gearhart, 34. 

Jack and his kids were seen on location in a clip as Ozzy was honored less than two months after his death at the age of 76 this past summer. 

An emotional Jack was seen sitting with his children during a segment in which a video was played, honoring the former Black Sabbath vocalist and heavy metal icon.

A number of the late rock legend's peers were on hand at the UBS Arena Sunday to pay memorial to the late Prince of Darkness.

Rock veterans Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and Nuno Bettencourt, and English artist YUNGBLUD were among those to take part in a medley of the late rock star's most well-known songs.

The tracks included: Crazy Train, Changes and Mama, I'm Coming Home and ended with the performers bellowing, 'Ozzy forever, man!'

In a video clip, Jack spoke about his father’s enduring legacy in the world of music.

'I know for sure it would make him incredibly happy,' said Jack, 'to see these great musicians carry on his legacy and help inspire the next generation of rockers.'

Jack wrapped up in saying, 'We love you, dad.' 

The grandchildren added, 'In the words of our papa, "Let's go crazy!"'

The Osbourne family and the music network have longtime times.

MTV was host to The Osbournes, the reality show which provided a vehicle for Ozzy's wife Sharon and kids Jack and Kelly to join him in the limelight

It aired for four seasons from 2002–2005, with 52 total episodes.

Jack last month took to Instagram to pay tribute to his late father, whose passing rocked the music industry to its foundation this past July.

'He was so many things to so many people, but I was so lucky and blessed to be apart of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad,' said Jack. 'My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. 

'I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing.'

Jack earlier this month opened up in an emotional clip about the manner in which he learned of his famous father's passing.

Jack said the final time he crossed paths with the No More Tears artist in person was earlier in July at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham, England for the Back to the Beginning concert.

Jack said he subsequently traveled back to his home in the United States and 'knew something bad had happened' intuitively when he had a knock on the door early in the morning on the day of his father's passing.

'My father passed away around 10 a.m. in the morning UK time, I was in Los Angeles, I had been back for about a week,' Jack said. 'Someone who has worked for my family for about 30 years now was knocking on my door, and when I looked through my window and I saw it was him, I knew something bad had happened.

'I was informed that my father had passed.'
