Just days before the entire Osmond clan was scheduled to tape a show with Oprah Winfrey, George Osmond died this morning at the age of 90. Donny Osmond was on the Entertainment Tonight set Tuesday morning when he found out about his loss.
He and sister Marie talked with ET's Jann Carl before boarding a plane to Salt Lake City to join their family.
"He was a man of integrity, of honor," a tearful Marie told Jann. "He was the best man I've ever known... "I wanted my dad to be proud of me."
"Oh he is!" Donny assured his sister.
"His life wasn't perfect, but look at what he's done with it," Donny added.
Marie has been a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars" this season and is the second celebrity to have a parent die in recent weeks. Jane Seymour's mother died last month. George and Olive Osmond, who died in 2004, are the parents of Donny, Marie, Alan, Jay, Jimmy, Merrill, Wayne, Tom and Virl.
Donny said his parents are now reunited.\
"We know our mom and dad are together again."
