Sharon Osbourne took to Instagram this week, breaking her silence since Ozzy’s death. The widow of Black Sabbath frontman shared an emotional message with her near 3 million followers.
Sharon, 72, said: “I’m still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am for the overwhelming love and support you’ve shown on social media”
“Your comments, posts, and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know. None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it’s carried me through many nights.”
The comment section of the post is brimming with over 10 thousand messages of support and sorrow, an astounding demonstration of the scope of the Osbourne’s appreciation and respect.
Sharon was seen publicly in July as fans flooded to the streets of Birmingham and swarmed the Black Sabbath Bridge to show their solidarity and compassion at Ozzy’s funeral procession.
The instagram post included a video of Sharon partaking in falconry, a bond from human to another, which she says knows all too well.
Sharon continued: “Though I’m still finding my footing, I wanted to share some glorious creatures I had the chance to spend an afternoon with.”
Sharon continued by saying: “The connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence. They’ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It’s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.”
Their daughter Kelly recently shared an instagram story praising falconry for helping her deal with her grief. “In all my sadness & grief I have found something that truly makes me happy! I never thought I would find my smile again through falconry but I did. I absolutely love being with the birds!” Said the 40 year old.
Kelly said that her mum loved it, and that it “put a smile on her face”
The former X Factor judge concluded her caption with a heartfelt thank you to her fans: “I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way.”
