Sharon Osbourne showed how she’s slowly healing from her husband Ozzy’s death, with the help of a few famous friends.
The America’s Got Talent star, 73, has openly spoke about her grief after the Black Sabbath frontman passed away of heart failure in July.
But Sharon looked happier and healthier as she supported her pal Paul McCartney at a screening of his new Prime Video film Man On The Run on Wednesday.
Ozzy had previously shared how The Beatles were his inspiration for launching a music career, and as recently as a month before his death, said Paul would be his ‘dream’ collaboration.
The rocker also covered The Beatles’ 1965 track In My Life in his 2005 album Prince Of Darkness.

He and Paul finally met for the first time in 2001 while backstage at the Howard Stern show, with Ozzy rushing to embrace him before admitting it was a ‘lifetime ambition’ to meet him.
The moment was captured in Paul’s documentary The Love We Make, which depicted his journey through a recovering New York in the wake of the 9/11 attacks.
In a clip from the sweet moment, Ozzy told Paul: ‘It’s great to meet you man, it’s been a lifetime ambition of mine, you guys made me start music.’
Ozzy later recalled the meeting on The Osbournes podcast, where he said: ‘I’m a big Beatles fan and when I first met Paul McCartney, it was like meeting Jesus Christ. And he was a very nice man, a very nice man.’
The pair then met again in 2008 when Ozzy and Sharon hosted the Brit Awards, together and Paul performed during the ceremony, and he described it as ‘the most special’ experience.
Ozzy tragically died of heart failure at his Buckinghamshire home on in July last year, aged 76.
Just earlier this month, Sharon was supported by her children Jack and Kelly at Universal Music Group’s afterparty for the 2026 Grammy Awards, after she broke down during the ceremony over the tribute to Ozzy.

His legacy was celebrated during the ‘In Memoriam’ segment, with a powerhouse performance of his Black Sabbath classic War Pigs by Post Malone, Slash, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith and Andrew Watt.
Standing in the audience, the Osbourne family couldn’t hold back tears as the music swelled.
Kelly was visibly shaken, flanked by Sharon, who dabbed at her eyes, while Jack stared ahead, jaw tight as he tried to maintain his composure.
The trio’s grief was unmistakable, their expressions reflecting the raw weight of the tribute – even as Kelly revealed she had been bracing for the moment while walking the red carpet.
‘It means more than I can express into words,’ she said during the official Grammy’s red carpet live stream.
‘To see his peers and this community cherish him in such a way, and in a way that he deserves. It’ll be very emotional.’
Ahead of the ceremony, Kelly described the loss of her dad as the ‘hardest thing’ she’d ever been through and revealed the daily rituals she does to keep his memory alive.
Supported at the ceremony by fiancé Sid Wilson, with whom she shares three-year-old son Sidney, she told PEOPLE: ‘I won’t lie. I won’t be one of those people that say I’m fine because I’m not. That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life.
‘But I have my man, and I have my gorgeous baby, and my mom and my brother and I are so bonded. I didn’t think we could ever get more bonded, but we did.
Before adding: ‘People usually say, “I’m great” [Months after a death of a loved one, but] I’m not doing so great.’
Kelly explained how she always lights a candle and keeps a seat empty at her table in memory of Ozzy as well as wearing a special locket, describing him as ‘one of the greatest men to ever live‘.
She said: ‘It’s under my dress, you can’t see it, but it has his picture in it, and my baby opens it every day and gives it a kiss and says hi to Papa. And every time I see the clock at 11:11, I know that’s him talking to me.’
