Jack Osbourne has revealed he’s been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, just two weeks after he welcomed his baby daughter Pearl Clementine to the world.
The 26-year-old son of Ozzy Osbourne and sister of Kelly Osbourne discovered he had the auto immune disease after he lost 60 per cent of the vision in his right eye last month.
In an interview with Hello! magazine, Jack said: “The timing was so bad”, “I’d just had a baby, work was going great… I kept thinking: ‘Why now?'”
“While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry. Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realised: ‘Being angry and upset is not going to do anything at this point, if anything it’s only going to make it worse… ‘adapt and overcome’ is my new motto”, he said.
In that same interview, his mum Sharon said: “I keep thinking: ‘What did I do wrong? What did I eat or drink when I was pregnant? I feel like it’s somehow my fault”
She also appeared on The Talk.
Jack said he was speaking out to raise awareness of the autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves.

Sad news, my heart goes out to every person with MS. But as mentioned below one can live with it for very long.
Anyway, I was watching yesterday Entertainment Tonight (the US entertainment show, which aires on Nine on afternoons). And a reporter there said something like "Sharon(his mum) beat breast cancer, Jack WILL beat MS" Lady, one can not beat MS, as yet at least. For now it's an autoimmune disease without cure.
omg love the Osbournes............!!! All my best xxx
