Sharon Osbourne has publicly expressed her gratitude to fans for the “otherworldly amount of love” received on social media following the death of her husband, legendary Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne.

Tributes and Comfort in Grief
In an emotional Instagram post, Sharon, 72, shared how the tributes have provided comfort during this challenging time. She showcased a video from a recent outing where she engaged in falconry with her daughter, Kelly.
Sharon stated, “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.” This heartfelt acknowledgment underscores the importance of community support in times of loss.
