Friends Worried About SHARON OSBOURNE’s Health After OZZY’s Death: 'She's Not Doing Well'

Close friends of Sharon Osbourne are raising alarms about her well-being following the recent death of her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away at 76.

A report from the Daily Mail quoted sources close to the 72-year-old, who say she is physically frail and emotionally overwhelmed.

“Sharon is very, very fragile. She’s so thin. She’s not doing well. We’re all worried about her health right now,” said a friend. “Ozzy was her life. He was her reason for living. They were each other’s best friends. I don’t know what she’ll do now or how she’ll get over it.”

These concerns follow a period of reported health issues linked to Sharon’s use of weight-loss medication. She allegedly dropped below 100 pounds and has had difficulty regaining strength since.

Decades together

Sharon and Ozzy met in the 1970s while she was working for her father, Don Arden, who managed Black Sabbath. She later took over as Ozzy’s manager, reshaping his solo career after he was fired from the band in 1979.

They married in 1982 and had three children: Jack, Kelly, and Aimee. Their lives became public in the early 2000s through the reality TV series The Osbournes, which aired on MTV and made the family household names.

The marriage, while long-lasting, wasn’t smooth. Ozzy’s well-known struggles with drugs and alcohol tested their relationship. They separated in 2016 after allegations of infidelity, but reconciled the following year.

Sharon’s first statement

Sharon broke her silence after Ozzy’s death with a joint statement shared by the family.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Public support

Following Ozzy’s passing on July 22, tributes flooded social media from fans, artists, and public figures around the world. Some messages stood out for their warmth and familiarity with the Osbournes.

One such message came from Gavin Rossdale, frontman of Bush, who posted a photo with Ozzy on Instagram.

“RIP OZZY - a great man - a true legend. I met Ozzy through Jack just a few times but he was so warm and kind and funny and I love that memory. Sending much love to his family at this difficult time. Rest in power.”

Sharon responded in the comments with a short message: “Bless you.”

This reply marked her first public interaction since Ozzy’s death was announced.

Ozzy’s legacy

Ozzy Osbourne was a foundational figure in heavy metal. As the frontman of Black Sabbath, he helped create the blueprint for the genre with dark, sludgy riffs and lyrics that played with horror and the occult.

Later, his solo career took him to even wider audiences with albums like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. His live performances, on-stage antics, and unpredictable behavior became legendary.

Ozzy also gained a second wave of fame with The Osbournes, which pulled back the curtain on the chaos of their daily life, offering a raw and often funny look at their family dynamic.

He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, won multiple Grammy Awards, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame both as a solo artist and as a member of Black Sabbath.

More tributes

Other celebrities also expressed their admiration and sadness.

Elton John, in a post on Instagram, called Ozzy a “dear friend and a huge trailblazer who secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods.”

He added, “He was also one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love.”

Actor Jason Momoa, who recently hosted Ozzy’s final public performance, posted a photo with him and Sharon. “Love you @ozzyosbourne. So grateful. RIP.”

Emotional impact

While fans celebrate Ozzy’s career, those close to Sharon are more focused on her current state. Sources speaking to the Daily Mail describe her as emotionally devastated and physically depleted.

The loss of a partner after decades together has taken a visible toll, and those in her inner circle are worried about her ability to recover.

Sharon previously described Ozzy in an interview with AXS TV as someone who was “so funny and insightful, and yet so vulnerable.” She added, “He was the sweetest guy I’d ever met because he was so vulnerable about everything, and that just drew me to him.”

That emotional bond appears to have remained strong through every chapter of their lives, despite personal challenges, health scares, and the constant attention that came with fame.

There is no official word on Sharon’s future plans. In recent years, she has remained active in media, including her role as co-host on The Talk and her participation in various documentaries and interviews.

However those around her hint she may take time away from the spotlight.

For now, her friends are watching closely and hoping she takes time to rest, recover, and process the loss.

No one is quite sure what comes next for Sharon Osbourne, but for the first time in decades, she’s navigating it without Ozzy at her side.
