Sharon Osbourne made her first public appearance since the passing of her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, in July.
The 73-year-old music manager and TV personality returned to the spotlight after four months away, attending a glamorous London event hosted by Rebecca Vallance alongside her daughter Kelly.
Ozzy, the legendary rock star, died at their Buckinghamshire home at the age of 76, just weeks after performing a farewell concert with Black Sabbath. His passing was widely mourned, with fans gathering in Birmingham to pay tribute before his private funeral service. Sharon was also photographed visibly emotional while viewing tributes at the Black Sabbath bench in his hometown.
Since Ozzy’s death, Sharon has maintained a relatively low profile. For the event, she chose a stunning sequined gown with long sleeves and shoulder pads, accessorized with a brown necklace, drop earrings, and a black clutch, appearing both elegant and poised as she stepped out with Kelly.
Sharon Osbourne smiled for the cameras while holding her daughter Kelly’s hand. Kelly looked radiant in a pink and silver sequined halter-neck dress, paired with small hoop earrings and a black satin handbag.
At the event, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne mingled with celebrities including Holly Valance, Amber Le Bon, and Zara Tindall. The outing coincided with Sharon’s son Jack navigating the Australian jungle in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Sharon and Kelly have been closely following Jack’s progress, particularly his first solo Bushtucker Trial. As they watched, Sharon appeared visibly anxious during the underwater segment, concerned about his breathing. Kelly recounted: “Watching I’m A Celebrity and they cut to commercials at the most pivotal moment. I was holding my breath, and halfway through the first ad I realized I was still holding it… he’s in a water chamber with only two minutes!” Sharon added, “With lobsters and toads…” Kelly continued, “Come on, we need to know what’s happening.”
Throughout the trial, Kelly praised Jack for completing each section, while Sharon watched with her head in her hands, nervously tapping her daughter at one point. Relief and pride were evident as Jack finished the challenge, with Sharon even punching the air in celebration.
Before Jack entered the jungle, Sharon had opened up about her struggles with sleep following Ozzy’s death, during the launch of her and Kelly’s podcast The Osbournes. She admitted, “I hate going to bed at night.” Kelly added, “I slept with you for the first two months so you weren’t on your own, but then I felt you needed space. I wake up and for the first three seconds I feel normal, and then I remember everything. Mornings are the hardest for me.”
“What is the morning? Because it happened in the morning. And I used to spend most of my time with Dad in the morning.”
