Ozzy Osbourne: From Prince of Darkness to reality TV's favourite dad
Fans around the world have been mourning Black Sabbath lead singer Ozzy Osbourne as a musical legend - but for many, the 76-year-old's passing also marked the loss of an early 2000s reality television icon.
Decades after his rise to heavy metal fame, the self-styled Prince of Darkness, his wife Sharon and their two then-teenage children Kelly and Jack starred in MTV's The Osbournes, pioneering what the show's producers describe as a "reality sitcom".
Before the Kardashians and the Real Housewives, there was Ozzy - battling with the TV remote in his Beverly Hills mansion.
Somehow, the blend of ultra-mundane life and spectacular fame worked - the show went on to win an Emmy and run for four seasons, from 2002 to 2005.

"The Osbournes kicked off a wave of celebrity-driven reality TV," Andy Dehnart, president of the Television Critics Association and editor of the Reality Blurred website, told the BBC.
According to The Osbournes executive producer Greg Johnston, the creators didn't know exactly what they were aiming for when they began filming.
When The Osbournes premiered, most reality TV was based on competition formats populated with casts of everyday people, such as Survivor, the Bachelor and the Real World.
And though a programme centred on celebrities could have focused on the excesses of a rock-star's life, The Osbournes instead followed a family as they loaded the dishwasher or exercised in the home gym.
