Jack Osbourne has admitted it’s ‘ups and downs’ following the death of his dad Ozzy Osbourne as he revealed how the family have been rallying around Sharon
Sharon Osbourne is “trying to figure out where to go” following the death of her beloved husband Ozzy, as their son Jack revealed how the family is helping her. The Black Sabbath frontman died in July aged 76, just days after taking to the stage for one final time – in a concert masterminded by wife Sharon.
They had moved back to their mansion in Buckinghamshire ahead of the show as they planned to enjoy his retirement together. However, the rock star’s health took a sharp downturn and he died in their home weeks later.
Sharon has since taken a step back from the public eye, having last been seen at a public memorial for Ozzy in his hometown of Birmingham. The X Factor icon is grieving privately, but her children have shared a series of updates since.

Earlier in the week, her son Jack revealed Sharon, who was married to Ozzy for over 40 years, is “OK but she’s not OK” following her husband’s death. And in a new interview, Jack added that “it’s ups and downs.”
He heartbreakingly shared: “She’s just trying to figure out where to go from here, how to navigate, what’s the new norm, what’s the new baseline, ‘What do I do without my person?’
“But she’s got a lot of love and support around her.” Jack explained to Rolling Stone that he is “bringing her back to LA” after flying to England for Sharon’s first birthday without Ozzy.
He added: “So, yeah, we must keep moving forward.” Jack also spoke of his parents’ strong bond with each other as he admitted it was the “blessing and the curse” of Ozzy getting injured.
The heavy metal icon suffered a fall in 2019 where he severely injured his neck as well as receiving a Parkinson’s diagnosis. Jack said Ozzy’s health helped to “heal a lot of stuff” and “reinforce their relationship”.
Daughter Kelly spoke about her mum Sharon’s pain over Ozzy’s final years nursing him though painful operations and trying to help him in new documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now.
She said: “I think what’s happening to my mum is the most heartbreaking part of this whole thing. And I think that watching the man that she loves most in this world wither is really, really hard.”
Ozzy also praised his devoted wife of 43 years as he said: “If it wasn’t for Sharon Osbourne, I wouldn’t be here now. I would definitely not have the success I have. I wouldn’t be sober. I’d be six foot under without a shadow of a doubt.
“Because I didn’t drink any less or do any more drugs than any of them, but all the guys I used to do it with, they’re all dead, so there must be something I did right in the world. The one thing I did was have my Sharon.”
This week, Sharon marked her first birthday without Ozzy as her children remained by her side. Jack took to his Instagram Stories to post a slow motion video of his mum flying owls and captioned it: “Happy birthday mum.”
He also added a white love heart emoji while tagging the 73-year-old in the post. Kelly also went all out for Sharon as she redecorated her mum’s room while she slept.
Whispering in the Instagram upload, Kelly said: “Shhh. So it’s my mom’s birthday today and I just decorated her room.” She then turned the camera to she an abundance of pale coloured balloons in different shapes and sizes. There were also a number of tightly wrapped gifts on show at the side of the room.
As Kelly walked towards her mum, she said: “And she’s still sleeping.” The former X Factor judge was then seen tucked up cosily in bed, with the video uploaded at around 10am.
