For the first time since her husband Ozzy’s funeral, Sharon Osbourne was spotted talking with her daughter Kelly about their newfound love of falconry.
The mother-daughter duo have been spending some time together in Cornwall, which Kelly, 40, had said ‘put a smile back on mum’s face.’
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy passed away on July 22 at age 76 and was laid to rest the following week on the grounds of his mansion in Buckinghamshire.
Kelly shared an update on Thursday, as she visited Cornwall Falconry in Bugle near St Austell with her mum, 72.
In the Instagram video, she is heard asking her mum to ‘put her hand out’ with the owl, then leaving her head and landing on Sharon’s hand.
Kelly wrote: ‘Today I introduced my mum to falconry and she loved it! @gerardsulter Thank you for putting a smile on my mum’s face too!’
Although Sharon hasn’t said anything on social media since Ozzy passed away, she has liked postings made by his team because she is still in mourning.
Over the weekend, the team managing his Instagram account posted a recent image of him performing on stage.
They wrote in the caption: ‘I don’t wanna say goodbye. When I do, you’ll be alright. After all, I did it all for you.’
Fans in the music and entertainment industries alike showered Ozzy with tributes after learning of his passing earlier this summer.
The musician, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22, surrounded by his family.
His funeral on July 30 was attended by his family and a host of rock royalty.
Sharon and their children were joined by celebrities, including Marilyn Manson and Ozzy’s lead guitarist Zakk Wylde, during the event at the family’s 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross.
Three causes of death were recorded in the rock legend’s official records. Acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction, and an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest were among them.
In a statement shared last month, Ozzy’s family said he died ‘surrounded by love’, adding: ‘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.’
Last month, the BBC were reportedly forced to pull an Ozzy documentary from schedules after the late rocker’s family voiced concerns that the show was ‘rushed’.
In August, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home – billed as a ‘moving and inspirational account of the last chapter’ of the star’s life – was abruptly removed from TV listings just hours before broadcast with no explanation as to why.
It has recently come to light that the Osbourne family’s displeasure with the speed at which the show was produced allegedly forced the network to act at the last minute.
It subsequently emerged that both the BBC and Paramount+ were producing documentaries on the rocker after filmmakers were given access to him for the final three years of his life, with the channels reportedly in a ‘race’ to air unseen footage.
It was then suggested that it was for this reason, as well as the family’s concerns about the ‘overall tone and theme’, that the documentary had been delayed.
A source told The Sun: ‘There have been conversations behind the scenes that maybe the BBC were rushing their show on Ozzy out – especially because Paramount+ also had a film in the offing.’
They told how the BBC’s production had originally set out to make a ten-part series called Home To Roost, charting Ozzy and wife Sharon’s move back to the UK; however, upon his death, it was decided it would be a one-off film.
The insider continued: ‘What mattered the most to the family was the overall tone and theme of the programme, which features Ozzy and Sharon in one of their last interviews together.
‘It started to feel like the goal being pursued by the BBC and the makers of the film was to get the show on air faster than the Paramount+ doc. Naturally, that has caused some concerns with the family.’
Representatives for Sharon and Kelly Osbourne were approached by The Daily Mail for comment.
The show was scheduled to air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on Wednesday, August 18, at 9 pm.
There were a ton of comments from people who said that she had aged. Taking into account that Sharon is 72 years old and she has just lost her husband, people should just be kind, not critical of her circumstances.
Falconry can be an excellent recreation, and owls are the most incredible animals, and nature can be a genuinely wonderful way to make you feel a bit better, and give you something to enjoy – fair play for Sharon getting out there.
Ozzy was Sharon’s true love, and she is deeply grieving. Everybody should leave her be.
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were wed on July 4, 1982, and remained married for 43 years until Ozzy passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. Although their marriage was characterised by infidelity, personal hardships, and moments of celebrity, the couple remained together for more than 40 years and were regarded as soulmates.
The poor woman looks crushed, as anyone would after losing their husband, and she is blessed to have her family to support her – that’s always a massive plus.
Sharon usually comes off as strong and confident, but she looks so different here. That said, it takes time to recover from a broken heart, and I truly hope that with the support of her family, eventually she bounces back.
It’s truly lovely to see a mother and daughter doing something wholesome together, and Kelly supporting her mum during what must be an extremely difficult time. Losing family impacts everyone in the family unit, and they all need to be kind to themselves.
