It might be the first Halloween without Ozzy, but the Osbournes are remembering the late rocker in an adorable way. On Friday, Kelly Osbourne shared a silly video of her two-year-old son Sidney, biting the head off of a stuffed bat (just like grandpa once did!) and letting out a giggle.

“Learned from the greatest, Papa!” Kelly captioned the post, which she soundtracked with “Crazy Train.”

Of course, the infamous bat incident occurred during one of Ozzy’s solo performances in 1982. During a segment of the show where Ozzy threw raw meat into the crowd, fans began tossing back whatever they could sneak in. On one night in Des Moines, someone threw a bat onto the stage. Believing it was made of rubber, Ozzy picked it up and bit into it, only to discover it was real. The moment drew massive media attention and forced him to undergo a series of rabies shots. “It got to the point where people expected me to do crazier and crazier things,” Ozzy once said. “I’ll tell you what, guys — it ain’t fun when you get them rabies shots.”

The stuffed animal in Kelly’s video is actually sold on Ozzy’s official website for $40 in homage to the “legendary moment in rock history.”

In the comments of Kelly’s TikTok, fans made side-by-side collages of baby Sidney and Ozzy, calling them twins. (Kelly even shared some of the comparisons on Instagram Stories.) “He looks like him,” wrote one fan. “He’s reborn,” wrote another. “I know he saw that and is laughing from heaven,” added a third.

Ozzy died back in late July at the age of 76, but told People several years prior that he knew the bat incident would be part of his legacy after his death. “I mean, I’ve achieved quite a lot in my life, but all people do is go, ‘Ozzy, what do bats really taste like? Was it dead?’” he told the outlet. “But I’ll tell you what, when they gave me the rabies shot, I wasn’t smiling.”

Kelly has been open about grappling with grief following Ozzy’s passing. Over the weekend, she reflected on going through her “first birthday without my dad,” sharing a carousel of photos of her and Ozzy, and some of the birthday cards he’d write her. “Every year the thing I looked forward to the most was spending the day with him and the cards he would write me,” she wrote. “Knowing that I will never get one again shatters my heart.”
