A massive new statue of Ozzy Osbourne was unveiled this week at Hellfest, an annual open-air festival held in Clisson, France.

The six-meter-tall statue was created by Philippe Pasqua and features Ozzy sitting on a black throne, surrounded by metal-inspired designs.

Sharon Osbourne shared a video of the unveiling on Instagram, expressing her gratitude to Olivier Garnier and Ben Barbaud for their efforts.

This new statue replaces the previous sculpture of Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister, which was unveiled in 2022 but had been falling apart due to its crumbling plaster.

The statue is a tribute to Ozzy's legacy as one of metal's most iconic figures.

It joins other notable statues at Hellfest, including a recent upgrade of the Lemmy sculpture designed by Caroline Brisset, which aimed to capture the abstract and concrete aspects of human fascination with energy.

The unveiling comes after a tumultuous few years for the metal community following Ozzy's death in July 2025 due to a heart attack.

The private funeral service for Ozzy was held on July 31, 2025 on the grounds of his former home in Buckinghamshire, England.

Only close friends and family attended, including members of Black Sabbath and several prominent heavy metal artists.

The day before the funeral, thousands gathered in Birmingham to pay tribute to Ozzy, with Sharon Osbourne and their children joining mourners.

Eleven months prior, Ozzy reunited with the rest of the original Black Sabbath lineup for what would be his final performance at the 'Back To The Beginning' charity concert in their hometown of Birmingham.

This concert saw Ozzy play a five-song set with his solo band before being joined by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for four classic Black Sabbath tracks.
