The silence in the Osbourne household has been profound since the passing of Ozzy, a music icon who captivated generations. Sharon Osbourne, 73, has openly admitted the grief is still raw, a constant ache in the months following his death on July 22nd.
Ozzy’s final performance with Black Sabbath in his beloved Birmingham felt like a poignant farewell, a last roar from a legend. But it was a message received after his passing that unexpectedly brought Sharon to tears – a personal voice note from former President Donald Trump.
During a recent recording of their family podcast, *The Osbournes*, Sharon, along with Jack and Kelly, shared intimate details of their mourning. Kelly confessed to moments of disbelief, briefly forgetting the heartbreaking reality of her father’s absence each morning.
Then, Sharon played the voice note. Trump’s voice filled the room, offering condolences and remembering Ozzy as “amazing” and “unique.” He spoke of their encounters, recalling Ozzy’s singular talent and the deep connection Sharon shared with him.
“I just wanted to wish you the best and the family,” Trump said, his tone surprisingly gentle. “It’s a tough thing, I know how close you were, and whatever I can do – take care of yourself.”
Sharon acknowledged the complexities of politics, stating that in today’s world, no one emerges unscathed. Despite differing political views, she reflected on her past professional relationship with Trump, recalling his and his wife Melania’s consistent respect during her time on *Celebrity Apprentice* in 2010.
She specifically praised Melania’s grace and elegance, noting that both she and Donald had always treated her and Ozzy with kindness, asking nothing in return. It was a gesture of genuine respect that resonated deeply during a time of immense sorrow.
Jack Osbourne, preparing for his own appearance on a reality show, succinctly captured the sentiment: “Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail.” It was a simple act of humanity that cut through the noise and offered a moment of unexpected comfort.
The loss of Ozzy Osbourne continues to be felt by millions, but within the Osbourne family, the shared memories and unexpected gestures of kindness offer a fragile solace amidst the grief.
