On November 26, 2025, the usually glitzy world of London’s high society witnessed a poignant moment: Sharon and Kelly Osbourne, mother and daughter, made their first red carpet appearance together since the death of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne in July. The event, hosted by Australian fashion designer Rebecca Vallance at the stylish Aki restaurant near Oxford Circus, was filled with celebrities and sparkling gowns, but for the Osbournes, it was a night tinged with both glamour and grief.
Sharon Osbourne, 73, looked every bit the icon in a floor-length, long-sleeved maroon sequin gown, her ensemble completed with diamond earrings and a black clutch. Beside her, Kelly, 41, radiated in a rhinestone-encrusted bubblegum pink halter dress with a bedazzled neckline, her blond hair swept into a chic updo. Kelly’s fiancé, Sid Wilson, was also in attendance, offering quiet support as the family continues to navigate life after their immense loss. The duo held hands and flashed smiles for photographers, but their bond and resilience were unmistakably shaped by recent heartbreak.
The night marked Sharon’s first public appearance since losing her husband of 43 years. Ozzy Osbourne, famed frontman of Black Sabbath, died on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76 after a heart attack at the family’s sprawling Buckinghamshire home. According to a death certificate filed by their eldest daughter, Aimée Osbourne, his passing was sudden, though it followed a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. As reported by The Daily Mail, Ozzy was buried under a crabapple tree on the family estate, a wish he’d made clear years earlier in his autobiography: "Don’t cremate me, whatever you do. I want to be put in the ground, in a nice garden somewhere, with a tree planted over my head. A crabapple tree, preferably." Sharon honored this request to the letter, ensuring the family had a special place to remember him.
Despite the glitz of the evening, Sharon’s grief was never far from the surface. Friends and insiders told The Mirror and The Daily Mail that Sharon has been reluctant to stray far from Ozzy’s side since his death, remaining primarily at the Buckinghamshire estate. The family’s Los Angeles home in Hancock Park was put up for sale for $18 million, but Sharon has chosen not to return to California, even though her three children—Aimée, Jack, and Kelly—have moved back to Los Angeles with their own families. One US-based friend remarked, "We wish she would come back to LA, we just want to give her a hug." But, as those close to her have observed, Sharon is "absolutely determined to keep Ozzy’s wish."
This determination has come at a personal cost. Sharon’s son Jack is currently appearing on ITV’s popular show I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here in Australia, yet Sharon has opted not to travel there to support him. A source told The Mirror, "Sharon can’t go, she can’t leave Ozzy. She has been supporting Jack all she can but she just can’t be there to meet him. It is just so sad for her, she adores her children. But she is absolutely determined to keep Ozzy’s wish." Instead, Sharon and Kelly have been watching Jack’s progress on television from the UK, with Kelly sharing moments of their reactions on Instagram.
Kelly’s presence has been a lifeline for Sharon during these difficult months. Kelly flew back to the UK to help her mother re-enter the world and find moments of joy amid the sorrow. On Instagram, Kelly posted photos of the event, writing, "I thought my mum looked beautiful and it was so nice to see her have a little fun! Thank you thank you thank you Rebecca [Vallance] we love you soooo much!" She also candidly described her own struggles with grief, admitting, "I wake up and for the first three seconds, I feel normal. And then, I remember everything. Mornings are the hardest for me. What is the morning? Because it happened in the morning. And I used to spend most of my time with Dad in the morning."
The Osbournes’ appearance at the Rebecca Vallance event was not just a show of style but also of resilience. Party insiders told The Daily Mail that Sharon and Kelly were in "good spirits," enjoying rosé wine and prawn skewer canapés, and that both looked strikingly svelte in their designer dresses. In recent years, the pair have prompted speculation about the use of the weight-loss drug Ozempic. Sharon has openly admitted to trying it in the past but insists she no longer uses it, while Kelly has never commented publicly on the matter.
For all the outward glamour, the family’s story is one of love, sacrifice, and the difficult choices grief can force upon us. Sharon, once a fixture on The X Factor and a renowned music manager, now faces the heart-wrenching decision of whether to stay in the UK near Ozzy’s grave or move to California to be surrounded by her children and grandchildren. She has five grandchildren: four from Jack—Pearl, Andy Rose, Minnie Theodora, and Maple Artemis—and one from Kelly, named Sidney. As one friend confided to The Daily Mail, "It’s a toss-up between staying in the UK and being in the US where her children and grandchildren are. Sharon has opted for the former. The whole thing is devastating, but Kelly has been there for her. She flew back to see her and get her mum back ‘out there’. That’s all she wants now, to keep Sharon going."
Even as the Osbourne family navigates this new chapter, the memory of Ozzy looms large. The Black Sabbath frontman’s final resting place, beneath the crabapple tree at Welders House, is a testament to the enduring love and loyalty that defined his marriage to Sharon. As she continues to honor his wishes, Sharon’s brave public return—hand in hand with her daughter—serves as a reminder that even in the darkest times, family and resilience can still shine through.
For the Osbournes, the red carpet was less about fashion and more about finding the courage to step forward, together, into a world forever changed by loss but still illuminated by love.
