Sharon Osbourne Reveals Donald Trump and King Charles III Reached Out After Ozzy’s Death in Emotional “The Osbournes” Podcast
In a profoundly emotional episode of The Osbournes podcast released on November 12, 2025, Sharon, Kelly, and Jack Osbourne came together for the first time since Ozzy Osbourne’s passing to share raw memories, moments of laughter and tears, and the overwhelming global outpouring of love that followed his death. They spoke about Ozzy’s final days, his unwavering determination to perform one last show, his unstoppable spirit, and the deep lessons of gratitude, humility, and authenticity he left behind. What emerged was not just reflection but a living tribute to one of rock’s most cherished legends — told by those who knew his heart best.
During the discussion, Sharon revealed something that stunned listeners: both Donald Trump and King Charles III had personally reached out to the Osbourne family to offer condolences after Ozzy’s death. Trump called and left a voicemail, while King Charles III sent a handwritten note, delivered by hand to their home in Buckinghamshire. Sharon’s voice trembled as she described the kindness of both men, emphasizing how deeply the gestures touched her family during their grief.
She explained, “President Trump and Melania didn’t ask for anything, they didn’t want anything — they were just genuinely kind and respectful. I’ve known him since I worked with him years ago, and he’s always been gracious. And Melania, she’s elegant and sincere. They took time out of their lives to do something thoughtful for us, and that meant a lot.”
Sharon then turned to the King’s gesture, her tone softening. “Our King… he’s a truly good man. He cares about people, animals, the planet — not just politics. He didn’t have to reach out, but he did. He’s done it before, when Ozzy was in the hospital after his accident, and again on his birthdays. He’s always shown genuine care. His letter was hand-delivered, and it was so personal. It came from his heart.”
Jack added, “Love him or hate him, Trump didn’t have to call and leave that voicemail.” Sharon agreed, replying, “Exactly. No matter what side anyone’s on politically, this wasn’t about politics. It was about human kindness. He treated Ozzy and our family with respect — and that’s all that matters.”
Kelly also reflected on the unprecedented wave of public mourning. “I haven’t seen an outpouring like this since Princess Diana died,” she said softly. “It wasn’t just the heavy metal community. It was the entire world.” Sharon nodded, adding that Ozzy never realized how deeply he was loved. “He never took anything for granted. He never thought of himself as a big deal. Even people who didn’t like his music loved him for who he was — genuine, funny, humble. He was one in a zillion.”
Throughout the episode, the family’s grief mingled with awe at the scale of global love. Sharon admitted she was overwhelmed by the messages and tributes pouring in from thousands of fans, saying, “Every card, every letter — we’ve read them all. We appreciate everything.” Kelly continued, “Knowing that the world loved him as much as we did has helped us heal.”
Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2025, from a heart attack, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s listed as contributing factors. A private funeral took place on July 31, held on the 250-acre Buckinghamshire estate the Osbournes purchased in 1993. The intimate service was attended by 110 close family members and friends, including his BLACK SABBATH bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, along with Zakk Wylde, Robert Trujillo, Rob Zombie, Corey Taylor, Marilyn Manson, and Adam Wakeman.
The day before the funeral, thousands of fans gathered in Birmingham, Ozzy’s birthplace, transforming the streets into a sea of candles, music, and emotion. Sharon, Aimée, Kelly, and Jack stood with fans as choirs sang “Changes” and “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” Tears flowed freely as the city said goodbye to its favorite son — the man who made darkness feel alive.
Only a few months earlier, Ozzy had reunited with the original BLACK SABBATH lineup for his final performance at the “Back to the Beginning” charity concert in Birmingham. Seated on a black throne, his voice trembled but remained unmistakably powerful. “You have no idea how I feel,” he told the roaring crowd. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
That night, he performed songs that defined generations — “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “Paranoid,” and “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” As the final notes echoed across Villa Park, it felt like both an ending and a promise. Even now, months later, the world still feels Ozzy’s presence — in every riff, every lyric, every heart that learned from the Prince of Darkness how to keep fighting the light.
