And Jack revealed her name was Ozzy Matilda Osbourne in a sweet nod to his late father.

The tot was pictured lying peacefully next to what appeared to be a bat plushie and a badge that said ‘Hello World’.

Jack captioned the post: “She’s arrived and she’s perfect.”

Ozzy Matilda was born om March 5 just before 9am according to the duck-themed sticker.

Rock legend Ozzy, who died in July aged 76, had been told he was going to be a grandfather again before his death.

Jack previously revealed he and Aree’s tot was giving him hope while grieving for his Black Sabbath rock legend dad Ozzy.

The proud dad has three daughters from his previous marriage – while his and Aree’s firstborn is three-year-old Maple.

Fans were quick to congratulate Jack after his latest annoucement.

One said: “Yay, we have another Ozzy Osbourne! The world is right again.”

Another wrote: “Oh my goodness congratulations I love her name I’m sure ozzy is smiling.”

A third said: “The most perfect name she could have ever received!! Congratulations to you all…I am sure her birth is what everyone’s heart needed!!”

Speaking publicly for the first time about the happy pregnancy news back in December, Jack said it has been the joy his family – including his mum Sharon, 73 – have needed after such a tough year.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday he said: “It’s awesome.

“I think it’s been partly a healthy distraction, partly healing – probably in that kind of ‘full cycle’ category, in a weird way.

“It’s very much taken energy out of the grieving side of things and parked in a bit more hopefulness.

“It’s been easy for me – I think it’s been a lot harder for my wife!

“We’re super-excited. It was sort of planned, I should say. It was maybe a little earlier than expected.

“But it’s definitely something that we were wanting to pursue and somehow it happened, miraculously.”

His beloved dad Ozzy played a farewell concert at the Villa Park stadium in his hometown of Birmingham last July.

At the benefit gig, the acclaimed heavy metal star reunited with all of his bandmates, which included Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward.

The band performed some of their greatest hits, ending with a rendition of Paranoid.

During his last interview, heavy metal icon Ozzy said his “final encore” meant “everything”.

Jack then ventured into the I’m A Celebrity jungle to honour bat-biter Ozzy’s legacy and his wish for him not to be “moping about and being sad”.

He lasted 21 days in camp and proved to be hugely popular among his campmates.

Ozzy’s death, following a six year battle with Parkinson’s Disease, reshaped Jack’s perception of their relationship with him now saying he is “really cherishing moments” – even the difficult ones.

Jack first rose to fame in 2002 after starring in the hit series, The Osbournes.

He received worldwide attention for his television tenure alongside his family, which included sister Kelly, and parents Sharon and Ozzy.
