Osmond said on the show, the AP reports. "He loved his family."
The Osmonds are a large clan. George Osmond had nine children, 55 grandchildren and 48 great-grandchildren according to the AP. But even with a house full of kids, the Osmond siblings told Oprah that the family is a very close and tight knit group.
"Isn't it interesting how two people can raise a family in show business - nine children - and we still love each other," Donny Osmond said during Thursday's show.
The episode, intended to celebrate Donny Osmond's 50 years in show business, is scheduled to broadcast today.
