Sharon Osbourne Pays Tribute to Ozzy on Their Anniversary

Sharon Osbourne remembered her late husband, Ozzy Osbourne, sharing a heartfelt tribute on their 46th wedding anniversary. Ozzy, the renowned Black Sabbath singer, passed away on July 22, 2025, at 76. Sharon, 73, posted a touching message and photo of them holding hands, expressing her enduring love and the void his absence leaves.

“Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary,” Sharon wrote. “Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way. Forever my husband. Forever my heart.”

The post drew an outpouring of love and support. Nicole Scherzinger and Amanda Kloots sent their affection, while Carrie Ann Inaba shared memories of their beautiful bond. Carmen Electra also expressed her deep love.

Sharon and Ozzy’s relationship began in the early 1970s. After Ozzy left Black Sabbath in 1979, Sharon helped him establish a solo career. They married in Hawaii on July 4, 1982, and had three children: Aimee, Kelly, and Jack. Over their marriage, they overcame challenges like addiction and health issues.

Their lives gained public attention through the reality show “The Osbournes,” which highlighted Sharon’s unwavering support for Ozzy. Kelly Osbourne, their daughter, shared an emotional note to Sharon on social media, acknowledging the anniversary’s pain without Ozzy.

“Today feels different,” Kelly wrote. “A day that was once filled with celebration now carries a quiet ache. This is your first wedding anniversary without Daddy by your side, and I can only imagine how heavy your heart must feel. There are some dates that remind us just how deeply we have loved, and today is one of them.”

Kelly reminded Sharon that her father’s love continues in various life moments despite his physical absence. She encouraged Sharon to see herself through Ozzy’s eyes – strong and compassionate.

Upon Ozzy’s passing, a family statement highlighted that he was surrounded by love. Before his death, he expressed a desire to be buried near a lake on his property. His health struggles included a 2022 Parkinson’s diagnosis. At a private memorial, a grand floral tribute bore his name on their mansion’s banks.

In a 2011 column, Ozzy humorously discussed funeral preferences, wishing for a celebratory, prank-filled event. He emphasized a life filled with gratitude, urging that his funeral be a time to say “thanks.”

Sharon and Ozzy renewed their vows in 2017, illustrating their enduring bond.
