On September 12th, 2025, Sharon Osbourne posted a moving message on Instagram, marking her first major public statement since her husband Ozzy died on July 22. She opened by admitting she still struggles to find the words to express how deeply grateful she is for the flood of love and condolences she has received. However, she emphasized that every message, tribute, and kind word has given her comfort during her grief.
Along with her gratitude, Sharon shared footage of a peaceful afternoon spent with her daughter Kelly and birds of prey at a falconry center. In the video, she interacts with majestic birds, including an owl that gently lands on her arm. She described the experience as “magical,” noting that building trust with these creatures has been a meaningful way for her to reconnect, heal, and feel grounded amid loss.
Words that Carried Her Through
In her Instagram message, Sharon said, “Your comments, posts, and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know. None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it’s carried me through many nights.”
She also added that while she is still “finding her footing,” the love she’s received from fans has made a world of difference.
Ozzy Osbourne died earlier this summer at age 76, following a heart attack and amid complications from Parkinson’s disease. He passed away at home in Buckinghamshire.
In the weeks following his death, Sharon’s children also shared messages of remembrance and gratitude, reflecting how the Osbourne family has drawn strength from the outpouring of sympathy from fans, the music world, and media.
While Sharon continues to grieve privately, this message appears to mark a stepping stone in her healing journey. The falconry moment has been seen by many as symbolic. Finding trust, peace, and connection after a period of deep loss.
It’s likely more tributes, remembrances, and reflections will continue as Ozzy’s legacy is honored throughout the rock and metal community. Fans can expect Sharon and her family to occasionally share updates, small moments, and memories as they move forward.
