It was a moment of raw emotion and rare vulnerability as Sharon Osbourne, flanked by her children Kelly and Jack, opened up for the first time since the passing of her husband, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne.
In the newest episode of “The Osbournes Podcast”, the family sat down not just to mourn, but to share some of the unexpected kindness they’ve received — including from one voice no one expected to hear: former President Donald Trump.
Yes, you read that right. In the middle of grief and shock, Sharon played a voicemail left by Trump himself. Calm, respectful, and even tender in tone, the message struck a chord.
“Ozzy was amazing,” Trump said. “He was unique in every way and talented.” He ended by offering his support, closing with a heartfelt “take care of yourself.”
Sharon, holding back tears, acknowledged the gesture with grace: “He didn’t have to call. That was really kind of him.” And she meant it. Her voice cracked with emotion, and for a moment, politics disappeared. It wasn’t about red or blue. It wasn’t about agendas. It was about humanity.
Sharon went on to reflect on the time she spent working with Trump and Melania. Her words weren’t filtered through ideology or expectations. “Politics aside,” she said, “they’ve always been kind, respectful, gracious.” No grandstanding. Just gratitude. “He always asked about my children,” she added. “How’s Kelly? How’s Jack? Their manners are great.” It was personal, not political.
And that theme carried through the episode, with the Osbournes revealing they also received a heartfelt note from King Charles — a letter hand-delivered to the family. It wasn’t the act of a monarch ticking a box.
It was the gesture of a man who had shown care before. When Ozzy was sick in the hospital. When Ozzy was recovering from that horrific motorbike accident. Charles reached out then too.
Sharon’s voice softened. “He didn’t have to do that. But he did. And if he did it for us, he does it for many, many others.”
These weren’t just celebrity headlines. These were moments of connection, of people stepping out of the limelight and showing up when it mattered. Whether it was the voice of a former president on a voicemail or a handwritten letter from a king, what mattered most was the same: compassion. And in the middle of loss, that kind of grace still speaks the loudest.
