Sharon Osbourne Breaks Silence After Ozzy’s Death with Emotional Message and Symbolic Owl Tribute
Sharon Osbourne has broken her silence following the devastating death of her husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.
The Black Sabbath frontman died suddenly of cardiac arrest on July 22 at the couple’s estate in Buckinghamshire, England. He was 76.
In her first social media post since the tragedy, Sharon opened up about the overwhelming support she has received from fans worldwide. “I’m having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am,” she wrote, adding that the comments, posts, and tributes “brought me more comfort than you know.” She admitted the love from fans has carried her through many difficult nights.
Rather than sharing a somber photo, Sharon surprised followers by posting a touching video from a recent visit to the Cornwall Falconry in England with her daughter, Kelly Osbourne. In the clip, the two are seen interacting with owls, a moment Sharon described as deeply moving. “The connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence,” she explained. “They’ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It’s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.”
The post marks Sharon’s first personal message since Ozzy’s death was announced in a joint family statement requesting privacy. She was later seen tearfully attending his funeral procession in Birmingham on July 30, where thousands of fans gathered to honor the Prince of Darkness.
Sharon isn’t the only Osbourne family member to speak out. Kelly called her father’s passing the “hardest moment” of her life and thanked fans for their kindness. Jack Osbourne also shared his heartbreak, writing that his “heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude” for the time he had with his dad.
Through grief, Sharon’s words and her symbolic moment with the owls show she’s finding comfort in unexpected places, while honoring the memory of the man she loved for more than four decades.
