Sharon Osbourne Finds Joy in Falconry After Ozzy’s Passing

Sharon Osbourne was seen publicly for the first time since the funeral of her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, as she embraced a new passion for falconry. Her daughter, Kelly Osbourne, shared that this activity has helped bring a smile back to her mother’s face during a difficult time. The duo spent time together at Cornwall Falconry in Bugle, near St Austell, where they participated in falconry activities.

Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary frontman of Black Sabbath, passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. He was laid to rest on the grounds of the family’s mansion in Buckinghamshire the following week. Kelly, 40, highlighted their falconry experience in an Instagram video, where she encouraged her mother to engage with an owl. “Today I introduced my mum to falconry and she loved it! Thank you for putting a smile on my mum’s face too!” Kelly wrote.

Since the death of her husband, Sharon has remained largely silent on social media but has expressed her appreciation for tributes shared by his team. Over the weekend, the team managing Ozzy’s Instagram account posted a touching message alongside a recent photo of him performing. The caption read, “I don’t wanna say goodbye. When I do, you’ll be alright. After all, I did it all for you.”

The news of Ozzy’s death prompted an outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow musicians. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and passed away surrounded by family. His funeral on July 30 was attended by numerous celebrities, including Marilyn Manson and guitarist Zakk Wylde. Official documents cited multiple causes of death, which included cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease.

In a statement released last month, Ozzy’s family expressed their sorrow, noting that he died “surrounded by love.” They stated, “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.”

The Osbourne family has also been involved in discussions regarding a documentary about Ozzy’s life. The BBC recently pulled a planned documentary from its schedule after the family raised concerns about its rushed production. Although billed as an inspirational account of Ozzy’s final years, the documentary faced scrutiny for its tone and overall approach.

Sources revealed that the BBC initially aimed to create a ten-part series detailing Ozzy and Sharon’s return to the UK, but after his death, it was decided to condense it into a single film. Concerns arose that the BBC was prioritizing speed over quality, especially with another documentary being produced by Paramount+.

As Sharon Osbourne navigates this new chapter without her husband, her shared interest in falconry with Kelly seems to offer a glimmer of joy amidst the sorrow. The family continues to honor Ozzy’s legacy while seeking to engage with their own lives in meaningful ways.
