Sharon Osbourne has shared her gratitude to fans for their support following the death of her husband, legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

The television personality and former host of The Talk returned to Instagram on Friday with her first post since Ozzy’s passing in July.

In the video, Sharon is seen with her daughter, Kelly Osbourne, spending time in a field with two owls. The post was set to Ozzy’s 1991 song Mama I’m Coming Home, marking a poignant tribute to the late musician, who died on July 22 at the age of 76.

“I’m still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am for the overwhelming love and support you’ve shown on social media,” Sharon wrote in the caption.

“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.”

Sharon went on to describe her time with the owls as “magical,” drawing a parallel between the trust required to bond with the birds and her own experiences.

She concluded her message with: “I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way.”

Supportive messages quickly filled the comments section, with fans reminding Sharon that she was “not alone” and encouraging her family to celebrate Ozzy’s life and legacy.

Ozzy and Sharon married in 1982 and shared three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. In the years leading up to his death, Ozzy lived with Parkinson’s disease.

His final live performance took place weeks before his passing at Villa Park in Birmingham, an event Sharon previously revealed was organised so he could say “thank you” to fans.
