LOS ANGELES — TV star Jack Osbourne has revealed he has multiple sclerosis.
The brother of “Fashion Police” host Kelly Osbourne was found to have the incurable autoimmune disease after losing 60 percent of the vision in his right eye.
The 26-year-old — who has recently become a father — revealed to Hello! magazine he had experienced a range of emotions since the diagnosis.
“While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry,” he said.
“Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realized, 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 went in for tests just three weeks after his daughter Pearl was born.
“The timing was so bad. I’d just had a baby, work was going great — I kept thinking, ‘Why now?'”
Osbourne said he had been speaking out to raise awareness of the condition and that the support of his fiancee Lisa Stelly was helping him to keep a positive outlook.
Osbourne, the son of musician Ozzy Osbourne and music manager and TV judge Sharon Osbourne, shot to fame on the family’s reality TV show.
