Sharon Osbourne released her first public statement since the passing of her husband, metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, who died July 22 at the age of 76.
The statement, which was posted along with a video of Osbourne and her daughter Kelly at a Cornwall Falconry range in England, can be read in full below:
“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.
“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. They’ll choose to perch on you only if they sense you are safe and unafraid of them. It’s a bond I know all too well, and the experience was nothing short of magical.
“I love you all, and I thank you deeply for the otherworldly amount of love you continue to send my way.”
Ozzy, who suffered from a form of Parkinson's disease, died from cardiac arrest, according to the official death certificate shared to The New York Times by Sharon and Ozzy's oldest daughter Aimee.
