Osbourne, the son of “Black Sabbath” frontman Ozzy Osbourne, told People about a candid conversation he had with Blair following her MS diagnosis, which she first revealed in October.

“MS is so different with everyone. I have the same disease she does but we are affected completely different by it. We spoke about what I do, my regimen. The things I’ve done in the past with it,” he added.
The “Cruel Intentions” actress appeared in her first TV interview to detail her struggles with MS in late February, roughly four months after sharing the shocking diagnosis with fans. Days prior, she attended an Oscars after party with a custom cane.

"Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, often disabling disease that disrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body," according to the National Mulitple Sclerosis Society. Common symptoms include fatigue, numbness, pain, walking difficulties and vision problems, among others.
