Ozzy Osbourne’s reality TV crew ‘mourning’ rock legend’s death

Ozzy Osbourne’s former reality TV crew is grieving the heavy metal icon after his shocking death at 76.

Cameron Glendenning, who worked as a camera operator and technical supervisor on “The Osbournes” from the end of its first season in 2002 to its fourth and final in 2005, broke his silence shortly after the Black Sabbath legend’s passing.

“I’m definitely mourning,” Glendenning exclusively told The Post in a phone interview. “But I also have a huge feeling of gratitude just for being a part of that crazy time and place, and just being around a person like Ozzy was just so incredibly rewarding to me, especially in my earlier life.”

“I can’t even describe how f–king surreal it all was,” he added.

Glendenning also revealed that he and other crew members from “The Osbournes” have been exchanging messages ever since Ozzy’s family announced his death on Tuesday, July 23.

“I just texted Greg [Johnston] to offer my sympathies because I know Greg would be hurting a lot today,” he said. “My friend Lucas [O’Brien] is in Miami now, and he reached out just kind of reminiscing a little bit.”

Johnston served as a producer on “The Osbournes” for all four seasons of the popular MTV reality show. O’Brien worked as a camera assistant for 13 of the show’s 52-episode run.

“There are a number of people from that crew, and we’re all still friends,” Glendenning added. “We all still talk very regularly. We definitely created a family on that show. It was really special. It really was.”

As for his time filming “The Osbournes,” Glendenning said that he never took the experience for granted.

“I always try to just soak it all up, and I think I did,” he shared. “And I definitely feel very lucky to have experienced so much with those guys. I’ve got stories for a lifetime.”

After working on “The Osbournes” in 2005, Glendenning later reunited with the “Crazy Train” singer in 2020 when he served as the cinematographer for “Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne.”

Even though nearly 15 years had passed, Glendenning said that Ozzy never changed.

“He was such a working-class kid, and he was so down to earth, and he remained that way forever,” Glendenning shared. “Even after attaining the status that he grew to have, he was always that same person.”

“He never made you feel anything less than an equal,” Glendenning continued. “I was 25 years old, I think, when I first started working with him. And I was a kid, man, and I was looking at a guy that had been a legend for 40 years already at that point.”

“He was just open-eyed. He wanted to have fun. It could have been me, or it could have been the president of Sony Records. It didn’t matter. That’s what was so cool about Ozzy. He was just totally down to earth.”

Glendenning was not the only member of Ozzy’s former reality TV crew to speak out following his death.

Sue Kolinsky, a producer on “The Osbournes,” told The Post that she had been “on the phone all day” talking with other people she worked with on the reality show.

Ozzy’s family was the first to announce that the “Shot in the Dark” rocker died Tuesday following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease and other health issues.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” they said in a statement to The Post.

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time,” they added.

The statement was signed by Ozzy’s wife of over 40 years, Sharon Osbourne, and four of the “War Pigs” singer’s six children, including Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.

Other tributes have continued to pour in for the “Mama, I’m Coming Home” singer.

As the world mourns the rock god, Ozzy’s former reality TV crew is thinking about the late Black Sabbath frontman’s family in the wake of his passing.

“My heartfelt sympathies go out to Sharon, Jack, Kelly, the rest of his family and everybody that’s worked hard along the way. I think we’re all definitely mourning him,” Glendenning told The Post.

“There’s not much that I could say that would be of comfort to them other than to maybe just show them how much he meant to everybody that he touched, like all of us that worked for them and how much we all still care about them as a family,” he added.

“And that’s for real good reasons,” Glendenning concluded. “That’s cause they deserve it.”
