Sharon, 72, opened up about her journey: ‘I’m still struggling to find the words to convey my gratitude for the incredible love and support you’ve all shown me online.’

‘Your messages, posts, and tributes have provided more comfort than you could imagine. It’s all been seen and deeply appreciated, helping me get through countless nights.’

‘While I’m continuing to regain my balance, I wanted to show you some magnificent creatures I spent an afternoon with. Connecting with these majestic birds is all about building trust and confidence.’

After the iconic rocker’s passing weeks ago, the widow shared a touching message alongside a video of her engaging in falconry.

Ozzy, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, passed away on July 22 at the age of 76. He was laid to rest shortly after at his Buckinghamshire estate, where they had been pictured together in 2017.

‘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. ✌️❤️’

Sharon’s daughter Kelly, 40, said their new hobby in Cornwall has ‘put a smile back on mum’s face.’

Kelly shared an update on Thursday as she visited Cornwall Falconry in Bugle near St Austell with her mum.

In the Instagram video, she is heard asking her mum to ‘put her hand out’ with the owl then leaving her head and landing on Sharon’s hand. 

Kelly wrote: ‘Today I introduced my mum to falconry and she loved it! @gerardsulter Thank you for putting a smile on my mum’s face too!’ 

The team managing Ozzy’s Instagram account posted a recent picture of him performing on stage.

They wrote in the caption: ‘I don’t wanna say goodbye. When I do, you’ll be alright. After all, I did it all for you.’

News of Ozzy’s death earlier this summer sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans in the music world and showbiz industry alike.

The musician, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22 surrounded by his family. 

His funeral on July 30 was attended by his family and a host of rock royalty.

Sharon and their children were joined by stars including Marilyn Manson and Ozzy’s lead guitarist Zakk Wylde during the event at the family’s 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross.

Official documents listed three causes of death for the rock legend. This included an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction.

In a statement shared last month, Ozzy’s family said he died ‘surrounded by love’, adding: ‘It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.’

Last month the BBC were reportedly forced to pull an Ozzy documentary from schedules after the late rocker’s family expressed concerns that the show was ‘rushed’. 

In August Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home – billed as a ‘moving and inspirational account of the last chapter’ of the star’s life – was suddenly removed from TV listings just hours before broadcast with no explanation as to why.

He was laid to rest the following week on the grounds of his mansion in Buckinghamshire (wife Sharon and daughter Kelly seen at his public funeral)

In a sweet nod to her late husband, Sharon liked a recent social media post shared by the team now running his account 

It’s since emerged that the broadcaster allegedly had no choice but to take last-minute action due to the Osbourne family’s concern about the speed at which the show was made.

It later emerged that both the BBC and Paramount+ were producing documentaries on the rocker after filmmakers were given access to him for the final three years of his life, with the channels said to be in a ‘race’ to air unseen footage.

It was then suggested that it was for this reason, as well as the family’s worries about the ‘overall tone and theme’, that the documentary had been delayed.

A source told The Sun: ‘There have been conversations behind the scenes that maybe the BBC were rushing their show on Ozzy out – especially because Paramount+ also had a film in the offing.’

They told how the BBC’s production had originally set out to make a ten-part series called called Home To Roost charting Ozzy and wife Sharon’s move back to the UK, however upon his death, it was decided it would be a one-off film.

The insider continued: ‘What mattered the most to the family was the overall tone and theme of the programme, which features Ozzy and Sharon in one of their last interviews together. 

‘It started to feel like the goal being pursued by the BBC and the makers of the film was to get the show on air faster than the Paramount+ doc. Naturally that has caused some concerns with the family.’

The Daily Mail contacted Sharon and Kelly Osbourne’s representatives for comment.
