Sharon Osbourne Defends Donald Trump As A ‘Man That I Know’ After His Reaction To Ozzy’s Passing

Ozzy Osbourne's passing left his wife, Sharon Osbourne, and family heartbroken, but during their time of grief, support poured in from around the world, including messages from prominent leaders.

Donald Trump and King Charles both shared heartfelt tributes to the Black Sabbath frontman, offering comfort to those he left behind. 

Sharon has now expressed gratitude to Trump, reflecting on his consistent kindness toward their family, and defending his personality despite public opinion.

On a recent episode of “The Osbournes” podcast, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack discussed loss, love, and the unexpected support they received as they mourned their patriarch. Sharon played a voice recording from Trump offering his condolences.

“Hi, Sharon. It's Donald Trump, and I just wanted to wish you and the family the best,” he began, recalling meeting the late heavy metal legend and describing him as "an amazing guy, unique in every way and talented."

The president went on to comfort Sharon, saying, "It's a tough thing, I know how close you were, and whatever I can do. Take care of yourself, say hello to the family. Thanks, bye."

After the message ended, Sharon, who had previously worked with Trump on “The Celebrity Apprentice” in 2010, shared her thoughts on him, making it clear she was speaking from personal experience rather than politics.

"When it comes to politics, nobody comes out a winner," she said, noting that political opinions often divide people. Sharon continued, “All I know is a man that I know, I worked with for a month. I spent one month with him and his wife [Melania Trump].”

Still revealing more about the commander-in-chief, the matriarch highlighted that he has always treated her as her family with kindness and respect, expecting nothing in return. Jack chimed in that, regardless of opinions, Trump's thoughtful call meant a lot.

The conversation continued with Jack pointing out that, in addition to the U.S. president’s call, King Charles also reached out to them. "We got a lovely letter from the King," Jack shared as his mother lavished praises on the monarch. 

“Our King is an amazing person," Sharon said. “He is an amazing person, not just because he wrote to us when Ozzy passed, but if he did it for us, know he does it for many, many, many people.” 

Sharon highlighted the King's compassion and genuine care for people and causes beyond politics, and revealed his condolence message was not the first time he had shown concern towards them. 

The music manager recalled when Ozzy was hospitalized in 2003 following a motorbike accident, and the King had checked in on them.

The topic of how they are handling their sorrow was not left out of their candid chat. As The Blast covered, during the episode, Kelly opened up that grief was something she never understood how difficult it could be, and felt shocked over the loss.

The former “The Talk” co-host described the sorrow coming in “waves,” revealing that struggling with the pain was the most difficult at night. At this point, Kelly shared that daytime was challenging for her as the pain is tied to memories of spending mornings with her father.

Jack likened the experience of losing his father to a rollercoaster, calling it "both horrible and beautiful." He added that the loss has deepened his sense of gratitude and love, making him cherish moments he once took for granted.

Following the death of the Prince of Darkness, close friends of Sharon expressed concern for her well-being. "She's numb with disbelief at the suddenness of his death," a source disclosed, per The Blast.

Although Ozzy had other health issues, Sharon was reportedly shocked by how quickly he passed. “She's depressed and doesn't know what the future holds," the insider added.

Her close pals urged her to stay active, fearing the loss might be overwhelming. They encouraged her to keep busy rather than remain isolated at home.

A few days after the iconic rocker died, Sharon made sure to honor her late husband's desire for his burial. 

In his 2009 autobiography, "I Am Ozzy," the "Paranoid" singer revealed that he didn't want to be cremated but instead wished to be buried beneath a tree in a peaceful garden.

Staying true to his words, Sharon organized an intimate funeral on July 31, where Ozzy was laid to rest beside a peaceful lake on their 250-acre Buckinghamshire estate, in the garden he loved most.

The private ceremony was attended by close family and friends, who gathered to celebrate his life and legacy in a setting that reflected his true spirit.
