Sharon Osbourne Leans on Kids Following Ozzy’s Passing: Report

The bereaved music manager is currently planning the funeral of the rock icon, her husband of 43 years. He died just weeks after they celebrated their last wedding anniversary.

Ozzy Osbourne's death left an indelible void in the rock music community—but more than anywhere else, in the hearts of his closest loved ones. Sources close to his family revealed how the singer's passing has particularly affected his wife, Sharon Osbourne.

"Sharon's heartbroken but very proud of the life the family built together," a source close to the family told PEOPLE. "Everyone's rallying around her. She's been the rock of this family for decades, and now it's her turn to be held up."

They added, "The kids are making sure she's never alone — they've been with her constantly, sharing stories, laughing through the tears and just being together. There's a lot of pain, but also a lot of comfort from the family time that they got to enjoy up until the very end."

Ozzy took his last breath on the morning of July 22, 2025. He and Sharon had marked their 43rd wedding anniversary just weeks earlier, on July 4. His family announced the devastating news in a statement published through multiple media outlets.

"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," the statement read.

The Black Sabbath frontman will be laid to rest on Wednesday, July 30. A planned cortege will travel through the streets of his hometown in Birmingham at noon, giving fans an opportunity to pay their respects before a private family funeral.
