Ozzy Osbourne looked frail as he was spotted on a rare outing in Los Angeles with daughter Aimee on Wednesday.
The 75-year-old Black Sabbath rocker relied on his walking stick after he was left “virtually crippled” following multiple back surgeries during which doctors found a tumor on his spine.
Ozzy wrapped up warm in a long gray coat, which he paired with black trousers and comfortable trousers.
The star, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003, carried his belongings in a black shoulder bag.
Ozzy was joined by daughter Aimee, 40, who cut a radiant figure in a patterned orange long coat and colorful jumper.

Ozzy also has children Kelly (39) and Jack (38) with his wife Sharon Osbourne (71).
Ozzy said he was “virtually crippled” by multiple back surgeries during which doctors discovered a tumor on his spine.
This comes after the rocker revealed his balance is all messed up following his horrific quad bike accident in 2003 and surgery that went wrong following a fall in 2019.
The musician gave an interview last year about his health and how he is not afraid of dying as he doesn't want a “long, miserable existence” but still has “a lot of life” in him.
Ozzy – who suffers from Parkinson's disease – revealed that doctors discovered a tumor in his spine during a fourth operation on his back following a fall in 2019.
He told Rolling Stone UK: “I'm not afraid of dying, but I don't want to live a long, painful and miserable life.”
“I like the idea that if you have a terminal illness you can go to a place in Switzerland and treat the disease quickly.” I saw my father die of cancer.

“But look, I said to Sharon that I smoked a joint recently and she said, 'What are you doing that for?'
“It's going to fucking kill you!” I said, “How long do I fucking live?!” At best I've got 10 years left, and when you're older “Time is picking up. Sharon and I recently had our 41st wedding anniversary and that is just incredible to me!”
Describing the series of operations he recently had following his fall in 2019, he admitted: “It really blew my mind.” The second operation went completely wrong and left me virtually crippled.
“I thought I was good to go after the second and third, but in the last one they gave me a hard blow in the spine. They found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig that all up too. It's pretty hard, man, and my balance is all messed up.'
What is Parkinson's?
Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease. The disease affects the nerve cells in the brain that control movement.
Over time, symptoms gradually worsen. There may be movement symptoms as well as pain, depression and loss of smell.
Most people who develop Parkinson's are over 60, but one in ten are under 50 and it affects more men than women.
What causes the symptoms?
Nerve cells in the brain send messages to the rest of our body to control our movements. This happens using chemicals called neurotransmitters.
An area of the brain called the substantia nigra produces one of the neurotransmitters that controls movement: dopamine. But in 70 to 80 percent of Parkinson's patients, these dopamine-producing cells deteriorate and die.
Loss of dopamine-producing neurons leads to low levels of dopamine in the part of the brain that controls movement and balance.
