In a raw and emotional social media post that has resonated with thousands, Jack Osbourne has bravely revealed the heartbreaking final message he received from a close friend before their tragic death by suicide.
The television personality and son of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne took to Instagram to share the poignant text exchange, which included his friend's last words: "I love you brother, see you on the other side."
A Powerful Plea for Mental Health Awareness
Osbourne's disclosure comes with a urgent message about the importance of mental health support, particularly among men. "This was the last message I received from a very close friend of mine before he took his own life," Jack wrote alongside the screenshot of their conversation.
He continued with a direct appeal to his followers: "To all my boys out there - check in with your friends. Check in with your friends that seem to have their shit together the most. Check in with your friends who are the strongest. Check in with your friends who always play the role of being everyone else's rock."
The Hidden Struggle Behind Strength
Osbourne emphasised that those who appear strongest often carry the heaviest burdens silently. "The strongest among us are usually the ones struggling the most silently," he noted, highlighting the critical need for open conversations about mental health.
His powerful message concluded with practical advice: "Don't just send a 'you good?' text. Actually call your friends. Actually get together with your friends. Actually look them in the eyes and see how they're REALLY doing."
Community Response and Support
The post has sparked an outpouring of support from fans and fellow celebrities alike, with many sharing their own experiences and praising Osbourne's courage in addressing such a difficult topic publicly.
This isn't the first time Jack has been open about personal struggles, having previously spoken about his multiple sclerosis diagnosis and various health challenges. His latest message continues his pattern of using his platform to raise awareness for important health issues.
