Sharon Osbourne 'finding her footing' after Ozzy's death as she shares emotional update

The late Ozzy Osbourne's widow Sharon Osbourne has shared a message with fans after receiving support following his death. She's said that she's "still finding her footing" but has enjoyed a "magical" with Kelly Osbourne recently.

It was announced in July that Ozzy had died, aged 76, shortly after his farewell concert with his band Black Sabbath earlier that month. The news was shared by his wife Sharon, 72, and four of his children in a joint statement at the time.

Sharon shared an update with fans tonight, two months on from her late husband's death. Her post on Instagram included footage of herself and daughter Kelly, 40, in a field with some birds, following the news that they have been trying falconry, which typically involves training and flying falcons or other birds of prey, sometimes to hunt other animals.

Alongside the footage, Sharon wrote: "I'm still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am for the overwhelming love and support you've shown on social media. Your comments, posts, and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know. None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it's carried me through many nights."

She added: "Though I'm still finding my footing, I wanted to share some glorious creatures I had the chance to spend an afternoon with. The connection you make with these powerful birds is built entirely on trust and confidence."

Sharon continued by telling her followers: "They'll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them." She added earlier: "It's a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical."

The Osbournes star concluded by expressing her love for fans and thanked them for their support. She told her followers in the post: "I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way."

It comes after Kelly announced just days ago that she has "found her smile again" following her father's death. Kelly told fans recently that falconry has made her feel "happy" lately and shared footage of herself with trained birds.

One video that she posted on Instagram showed a falcon flying over to her, before landing on a glove that she was wearing. Another clip showed an owl flying away from Kelly before returning and seemingly being rewarded with food.

Over a photo of herself with an owl perched on her hand, Kelly wrote: "In all my sadness & grief I have found something that truly makes me happy! I never thought I would find my smile again through falconry but I did. I absolutely love being with the birds!"

Kelly later told fans that she had introduced her mother Sharon to falconry. She wrote in a post this week: "Today I introduced my mum to falconry and she loved it! Thank you [Cornwall Falconry] for putting a smile on my mum's face too."
