Sharon Osbourne is finding small steps toward healing following the heartbreaking loss of her husband, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne. In her first public appearance since his funeral in July, the 72-year-old television personality was seen embracing an unexpected new activity: falconry—thanks to the support of her daughter, Kelly Osbourne.
On Thursday, Kelly shared a series of photos and clips on Instagram showing her and her mother enjoying a falconry outing. In the images, Sharon appears calm and engaged, holding a gloved hand out as a bird of prey perched gracefully on her arm. Smiling beside her, Kelly looked equally delighted to see her mother immersed in something new.
“Today I introduced my mum to falconry and she loved it! Thank you @gerardsulter for putting a smile on my mum’s face too!
,” Kelly captioned the post, which has already been met with an outpouring of love and support from fans.
The outing marked a rare glimpse of Sharon since the devastating loss of Ozzy, her husband of more than 40 years and one of rock’s most iconic figures. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away in July, leaving behind a legacy of groundbreaking music and a family who adored him deeply. Since then, Sharon has remained largely out of the public eye, focusing on grieving privately with her children.
Thursday’s post, however, showed a different side: a woman taking tentative steps back into the world, buoyed by the love of family. Fans quickly flooded Kelly’s comments with words of encouragement, praising the mother-daughter duo for leaning on each other during such a difficult time. “This is so beautiful to see,” one follower wrote. “Ozzy would be so proud of you both.” Another added, “Sending love to your family—thank you for sharing this precious moment.”
Sharon and Kelly’s close relationship has long been a source of strength for both women, especially during challenging periods. Kelly has often spoken about her admiration for her mother’s resilience, while Sharon has credited her children with keeping her grounded throughout life’s highs and lows. The falconry outing seemed to symbolize that bond, with Kelly gently guiding her mother into a new experience designed to bring joy and comfort.

For Sharon, who has spent much of her life in the spotlight as a manager, television personality, and wife to one of music’s most celebrated performers, the quiet day spent with her daughter was a far cry from the chaos of rock ’n’ roll tours or the glare of reality TV cameras. Instead, it was a tender reminder that healing often comes in small, simple moments.
Though Sharon has not yet spoken publicly about how she is coping with Ozzy’s passing, Thursday’s appearance suggests she is leaning heavily on her family and finding ways to rediscover moments of peace. And for fans of the Osbourne family, seeing Sharon smile again—even if just for a day—was a reassuring sign that love, family, and shared experiences can help light the way through grief.
