Sharon Osbourne has opened up about life without her late husband Ozzy Osbourne, saying she believes the legendary Black Sabbath frontman is still watching over his family and “having a great time.”
Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, aged 76, just weeks after performing what became his final concert at Villa Park in Birmingham. His death marked the end of an extraordinary career that stretched across more than five decades and made him one of the most recognizable figures in rock music.
For Sharon, however, Ozzy’s death has left a deeply personal absence after more than four decades of marriage.
The couple married in 1982 and built a family together, raising their three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack. Their lives were also documented extensively through the reality series The Osbournes, which turned their chaotic but affectionate family dynamic into a global television phenomenon.
Despite the grief that has followed Ozzy’s death, Sharon has continued to speak about him with warmth and humor. She has previously reflected on the difficulty of adjusting to life without the man who had been beside her for so much of her adult life.
Her latest comments offer a glimpse into the way she is trying to cope with that loss.
Sharon said she feels that Ozzy is still present in some way, looking down on the family and enjoying himself. Rather than imagining him in sadness, she appears to picture the rock icon exactly as many people remember him — free-spirited, mischievous and having a good time.
The sentiment comes as the Osbourne family continues to keep Ozzy’s memory alive through documentaries, interviews and tributes.
A new documentary, If These Walls Could Rock, has also brought fresh attention to the family’s memories of the past. Sharon and Kelly recently appeared in the film, reflecting on the Sunset Marquis hotel in West Hollywood, where the family spent summers while Ozzy toured in the United States. Sharon recalled that Ozzy loved the freedom of being able to wander around the hotel grounds and socialize with other guests.

The family’s reflections have also highlighted just how complicated their memories of Ozzy can be. Alongside the extraordinary career and public image was a husband and father whose presence shaped the lives of those closest to him.
Ozzy’s final months were particularly emotional. In July 2025, he joined the original Black Sabbath lineup for Back to the Beginning, an emotional farewell concert in Birmingham. Just 17 days later, he died surrounded by his family.
Since then, Sharon and their children have repeatedly emphasized the importance of remembering him for the person behind the legendary rock persona.
For Sharon, believing that Ozzy is still watching over them may offer some comfort as she continues navigating life without him.
And while the grief remains, her words suggest that she does not imagine Ozzy resting quietly somewhere — she imagines him exactly as he lived, enjoying himself, making people laugh and looking down on the family he loved.
In that sense, the Prince of Darkness may still feel very much at home.
