It\u2019s been nearly two months since the death of hard rock icon Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>. And while the Prince of Darkness shuffled off this mortal coil on July 22 at age 76 after completing a number of projects that will keep him in our hearts for a while, the first posthumous reminder of his lovably sweet\/salty nature has come from a most unexpectedly wholesome place.<\/p>\n In the final challenge on the Lego Masters Jr. episode that aired earlier this week, the series\u2019 host, Kelly Osbourne<\/a>, needed some help warning the budding brickmasters that they had just one hour left in their Ninjago build. While the sweat-inducing heads-up is typically delivered by host Will Arnett on the grown-up version of the show, Kelly brought in a real ringer to do the honors on Monday night\u2019s (Sept. 8) episode.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cHi Kelly,\u201d Ozzy says to his daughter, beaming into the show remotely while seated in a brown leather chair, dressed in black, of course, with a number of gold necklaces on his chest and a sweet, bright smile on his face in a clip posted by Reality Club Fox<\/a>. One of the young builders was confused, asking, \u201cwhat? what is that?,\u201d as his knowing mom explained, \u201cit\u2019s her dad.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cHi dad, we need someone to scare a few of the kids,\u201d Kelly told Ozzy. \u201cWould you mind?\u201d<\/p>\n Always up for a good scare, Ozzy mischievously grinned, \u201cI\u2019d love to!,\u201d busting out a maniacal laugh as he rubbed his hands together. As the buzzing alert bathed the brick floor in a blood red light, Ozzy intoned, \u201cYou\u2019ve got one hour left to finish those builds!,\u201d wagging his finger ominously as he added, \u201cOr else!\u201d and a demonic laugh.<\/p>\n The kids were appropriately freaked out as Kelly said, \u201cThank you, daddy. That was perfect. We love you.\u201d<\/p>\n Celebrity partner Andy Richter laughed, \u201cOh Ozzy,\u201d while one of the kid builders asked, \u201cWho is that?\u201d Another contestant helpfully explained, \u201cIt\u2019s Ozzy Osbourne. My dad loves him.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cGood luck kids!\u201d Ozzy signed off.<\/p>\n Osbourne\u00a0died on July 22 at age 76<\/a>, just a few weeks after taking the stage for the last time at the all-star\u00a0Back to the Beginning show<\/a>\u00a0in his native Birmingham, U.K., which featured sets from Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Alice in Chains and many more.<\/p>\n The sweet Lego pop-in is the first in what will be a string of posthumous projects<\/a> from the late metal icon, including the 100-minute\u00a0Back to the Beginning: Ozzy\u2019s Final Bow\u00a0documentary about the last concert due in theaters in early 2026.
