King Charles Reaches Out to Osbournes Following Ozzy’s Death

King Charles extended a heartfelt gesture to the Osbourne family following the death of legendary rock musician Ozzy Osbourne. The frontman of Black Sabbath passed away in July 2023 at the age of 76, prompting an outpouring of condolences, including a personal letter from the monarch. Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife, expressed her gratitude for the compassion shown by King Charles, describing him as an “amazing person.”

In a recent episode of the Osbournes podcast, their son, Jack Osbourne, revealed the touching message they received from the king. “We got a lovely letter from the king,” he said. Sharon reflected on the significance of the letter, stating, “Our King is an amazing person… if he did it for us, know he does it for many, many, many people.” This sentiment highlights the monarch’s commitment to connecting with individuals beyond the realm of politics.

Sharon shared that King Charles had previously reached out to the family in 2003, demonstrating a long-standing relationship. At that time, he contacted them after Ozzy suffered serious injuries in a quad bike accident. “He’s got a good heart,” she noted. “He didn’t have to do certain things that he’s done for Ozzy.” The letter, which was hand-delivered to the family, included condolences for Ozzy’s passing, showcasing the king’s thoughtfulness and empathy.

High-Profile Condolences from Across the Pond

The Osbournes were not alone in receiving tributes following Ozzy’s death. Sharon, Jack, and their daughter Kelly also shared a voicemail from former U.S. President Donald Trump. In the recording, Trump expressed his condolences, saying, “Ozzy was amazing… I want to tell you he was unique in every way and talented.” He further offered support to Sharon, acknowledging their close relationship.

Jack commented on the voicemail, stating, “Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail.” Sharon, who previously appeared on Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice show in 2010, praised both the former president and First Lady Melania Trump. She described Trump as respectful and attentive, noting, “He was always, ‘How are the children? How’s Kelly? I’m so proud of Kelly and Jack for what they’ve done.’”

Sharon recognized that her praise for Trump may be viewed controversially. She clarified her position, saying, “Listen, I’m not American. I can’t vote… But the thing is, all I know is he’s treated me with respect.”

This moment of connection between the Osbourne family and notable figures such as King Charles and Donald Trump underscores the impact of Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy, not just in music but also in fostering relationships across different worlds. The heartfelt messages serve as a reminder of the compassion that can emerge in times of loss, transcending personal and political divides.
