Reality television star Jack Osbourne, son of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and America's Got Talent judge Sharon Osbourne, has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, celebrity magazine People reported on Sunday.
Jack, 26, who welcomed baby Pearl Clementine with his fiancée, Lisa Stelly, in April, was given the news of his diagnosis just two weeks after his daughter's birth.
"I was just angry and frustrated and kept thinking, 'Why now?'" Jack told People. "I've got a family and that's what's supposed to be the most important thing."
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system - the brain and spinal cord - and can affect muscle control, strength, vision, balance, thinking and feeling.
