Emotional Sharon Osbourne breaks down in tears as she jets home to US after Ozzy is struck down with Covid
EMOTIONAL Sharon Osbourne today broke down in tears as she revealed she is flying home after husband Ozzy was struck down with Covid.
The brave presenter said the 73-year-old rockstar, who has suffered with health issues including Parkinson’s, was diagnosed overnight.
It means Sharon will not be able to present her new hour-long panel debate show The Talk, which is on Monday to Friday at 9pm on TalkTV.
But she vowed to return on air next week – and may even join up with her fellow The Talk stars by video link from Los Angeles in the coming days.
Choking back tears in an emotional video, Sharon, 69, said: “Ozzy was only diagnosed in the middle of the night our time.
“I spoke to him and he’s OK. I am very worried about Ozzy right now.

“We’ve gone two years without him catching Covid and it’s just Ozzy’s luck it would be now.”
When asked what she will do when she is reunited with her husband, she said she will “hold him and kiss him” – with “about three face masks on”.
Sharon added: “My family is my life.
“I can’t believe my luck. I’m missing the show and I’ve only been there three days.

“I can’t believe it. Three days and I’m missing the show but I will be back. I know I will.
“It will take me a week to get my old man back on his feet again and I will be back.
“Unfortunately, he was diagnosed in the middle of the night when the family was sleeping so I haven’t spoken to them yet. But they’ll rally round. They’ll be with him.
“You’re going to see me back on air in a week.
“I know my husband. We’re going to get him back on his feet and we’re going to get a negative test by next week.”
‘MY GREAT MAN’
It comes after Sharon opened up yesterday about Ozzy’s health woes during an interview with Piers Morgan on his TalkTV show Uncensored.
The Black Sabbath wildman was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019.
He recently revealed he was left with debilitating mobility issues following back and neck surgery.
Piers asked Sharon: “How is Ozzy? My great man. He’s just one of my favourite people in the world. Been through the health wars a bit. How’s he doing?”
Sharon replied: “He’s doing okay. He is. He sends you his love. He’s got one more operation left to do and then he’s dying to come back home.”
The former X Factor judge is back on TV after controversially being sacked from US chat show The Talk.
She was axed from the CBS show in March last year for voicing her public support for Piers.
Appearing in her TalkTV debut, Sharon said: “It’s great to be back on your screens and even greater to be employed.”
Sharon’s TV career began when she created and produced the cable reality series The Osbournes.
She was a judge on The X Factor for seven seasons. She later served as a judge for five seasons on America’s Got Talent.
Sharon won an Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Hosts Daytime Emmy in 2017 for her work on The Talk.
She is currently an Executive Producer on a forthcoming big screen Biopic of hers and Ozzy’s life story through Sony Pictures Studios.
