Sharon Osbourne breaks down recalling Trump’s heartfelt call after Ozzy’s death at 76

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: A tearful Sharon Osbourne recalled the heartfelt phone call she received from Donald Trump after the death of her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, during an emotional episode of 'The Osbournes' podcast on November 12.

The 72-year-old television personality grew emotional as she played the voicemail the president had left her over the summer, shortly after the legendary Black Sabbath frontman’s death at age 76.

Ozzy passed away on July 22 from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and complications from Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2020.

Trump’s 'touching' voicemail to Sharon Osbourne

In the emotional recording, Trump can be heard offering his condolences and praising the heavy metal icon. “Hi Sharon, it’s Donald Trump and I just wanted to wish you the best and the family … Ozzy was amazing, he was an amazing guy,” Trump said in the message.

“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. Thanks, bye."

The Osbournes’ son Jack, 40, responded warmly during the podcast, telling his mother, “Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail.”

Sharon Osbourne praises Trump and Melania for their kindness

Fighting back tears, Sharon expressed her gratitude toward Trump and first lady Melania Trump, saying the couple had always treated her family with “respect.” “For him to take his time to do that for us … he doesn’t live in a bubble,” she said. “He knows what is going on in the streets. He knows what is going on. Again, for President Trump and Melania, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

“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,” Sharon said.

She added that she wasn’t an American citizen and therefore could not vote. “Listen, I’m not American. 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.”

A royal gesture and final farewell to 'The Prince of Darkness'

Sharon also revealed she received a “lovely letter” from King Charles, describing the monarch as “a good, caring man with a good heart.” 

Ozzy, affectionately known as the “Prince of Darkness,” was laid to rest in his hometown of Birmingham, England, where fans gathered at the Black Sabbath Bridge and bench on Broad Street to leave flowers, letters, and tributes.
