Sharon Osbourne opens up about her final moments with her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne.
The rock legend died at the age of 76 in July 2025 at the family home in Buckinghamshire, England, while Sharon, 74, was still asleep, she recalled to the BBC in an interview published on Monday, October 26.
“We had talked in the night. Ozzy had woken up in the night, and he asked me to kiss him twice, and I did,” said Sharon about her last moments with Ozzy the night before he died. “And then he said, ‘Hold me, hold me tight,’ and I did.”
“And then the next thing I know, it’s early in the morning, and someone comes rushing into the room saying, ‘Come down now.’ I ran down, and that was it,” she said.
The first one The Talk The cohost told the BBC that she visits Ozzy’s grave every day and is still consumed by grief more than a year after his death.
“You lost the love of your life, so you don’t just wake up and go, ‘I’m fine now. I’m cured,'” she said. “You don’t get over it. But you learn to live with it, and that’s what I’m trying to do. So you sit in a room and you don’t come out or you accept it, make friends with it and that’s it.”
Ozzy is buried in the family garden in Buckinghamshire, Sharon said.
“There was no way Ozzy was going to be buried in a public cemetery,” she explained. “I’ve seen what happens to other people in the public eye. There’s no peace because people want to come and they want to pay their respects. That’s an ongoing thing, and I wanted Ozzy to relax and be straight.”
Sharon and Ozzy married in 1982 and have three children: daughters Aimee43, and Cell41, and a son Jack40. (Ozzy also had three children from his first marriage.)
The Black Sabbath star’s cause of death was heart attack, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease, according to his death certificate published in August 2025.
Just weeks before his death, Ozzy played with Black Sabbath one last time in his hometown of Birmingham.
“He was just so happy,” Sharon told the BBC. “He was online, going through the reviews and saying, ‘There’s something terribly wrong,’ and I’m like, ‘Why?’ He says, ‘I didn’t get laid by anyone. Why are people nice to me? And I’m like, ‘Because you like them.'”
“He was just floating for those last 17 days. It was great. He was happy,” she said of Ozzy’s final days after the July 5, 2025 concert.
