Osbournes Share Messages from Trump, King Charles as They Open Up About Grief in Emotional Podcast

Ozzy, the Prince of Darkness, passed away in July at the age of 76 following a heart attack, capping off years of health battles including his diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease. In the emotional recording, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne opened up candidly about the raw and overwhelming journey of grief, sharing deeply personal struggles that have resonated with fans worldwide.

As those fans have also shared their support back with the beloved family, they opened up about how much it meant for them to hear from King Charles III. "Our King is an amazing person," said Sharon, per The New York Post. "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."

"Here's a man that does know what's going on in the street with people. Not just politics, not just you know, here's a man that cares about the environment, animals. He cares about many, many things," she added.

Calling her and Ozzy "royalists," Sharon said that she respected the king and his family and appreciated that he "took the time out of his day to write us, have it hand-delivered to us -- a note from the King for Ozzy's passing with his condolences, and that says so much."

The family also shared a voicemail they'd received from President Donald Trump during the podcast. "Hi, Sharon, it's Donald Trump, and I just wanted to wish you the best," he said, with Entertainment Weekly noting that the audio cut out briefly at this point before continuing.

"Ozzy was amazing. He was an amazing guy. I met him a few times, and I want to tell you he was unique in every way and talented. So I just wanted to wish you the best, and 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."

After they played the message, Jack commented, "Love him or hate him, he didn't have to call and leave a voicemail.

For Sharon, she sees Trump as the man she got to know when she competed on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2010, coming in third. She said, "All I know is a man that I know, I worked with for a month. I spent one month with him and his wife, who was always gracious, elegant, just a delight to talk to, his wife."

"And he was always, 'How are the children? How's Kelly? I'm so proud of Kelly and Jack for what they've done and their manners are great.' And he was just a great guy to talk to and he has always treated me with respect,'" she added.

At the same time, she said that she knew bringing Trump into any conversation is divisive, but as a British citizen, "I can't vote. I don't want to vote. I don't vote for anyone. I vote for no one. Never have, never will. But the thing is, all I know is he's treated me with respect, your father with respect. He wanted nothing from us. Nothing. Melania -- the same. Nothing. And they have been great."

"And for him to take his time to do that for us," she said, tearing up.

There were more tears elsewhere in the podcast as the family opened up about where they are in the grieving process, sharing the same candid truth that made them household names on their family reality show decades ago.

The most visceral description of loss came from Kelly Osbourne. The 41-year-old was tearful as she confessed her shock at the intensity of her pain. “I never realized just how horrible grief is. I never knew I was capable of loving somebody so much and missing somebody so much,” she shared. “I just, I never thought there’d be a day where he wouldn’t be here.”

Kelly detailed how mornings have become the most challenging part of her day, noting, “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.” She did, however, find a silver lining in her 3-year-old son, Sidney, adding, “I'm just so grateful that Sidney got to meet him. And that they had such a special little relationship.”

For Sharon, who was married to Ozzy for 43 years, the grief comes in difficult "waves." She admitted to struggling with a sudden, profound loneliness. “I hate going to bed at night,” the 73-year-old shared, revealing the simple act of sleeping alone after decades of companionship has been a significant hurdle. Her daughter Kelly chimed in, noting that she “slept with you for the first two months so that you weren't on your own,” demonstrating the family's immediate rally of emotional support. 

Jack, 40, offered a more reflective, albeit still painful, perspective on processing his father’s passing. He described the healing process as being "both horrible and beautiful in the way that it forces you to unpack and examine things."

“It sucks that he’s gone, but also, for me, it has led to a huge amount of gratitude and love and like really cherishing moments that at the time you take for granted,” Jack explained, agreeing with his sister that having children has been a “huge help” during this period of immense change.

A point of comfort the family unanimously agreed upon was the massive, global outpouring of tributes and love from the public and Ozzy’s legions of fans. Kelly stated she “never could have even imagined it to be as helpful as it has been to know that we’re not alone in our grief, in our sadness and that the rest of the world loved him as much as we did.”

Kelly went on to compare the sheer scale of the reaction to the grief following the death of a British royal family member.

“I haven't seen an outpouring like that since Princess Diana died,” she added. “I didn't expect it.”

In a final, touching reflection, Sharon asserted that the Prince of Darkness never truly understood his own impact. “Ozzy, he wouldn’t believe it. He wouldn’t,” she said. “He didn’t realize how much he was loved and that was his beauty because he never took it for granted from anyone.”
