Sharon Osbourne ‘Heartbroken’ by Ozzy’s Death as Family Rallies Around Her: ‘There’s a Lot of Pain’ (Exclusive Source)

Sharon Osbourne is in mourning following her husband Ozzy Osbourne’s death at the age of 76.

“Sharon’s heartbroken but very proud of the life the family built together,” a source close to the family tells PEOPLE of the TV personality, 72. “Everyone’s rallying around her. She’s been the rock of this family for decades, and now it’s her turn to be held up.”

Osbourne and Sharon married in 1982 and share three kids, Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.

Since the family announced that the Black Sabbath rocker died on July 22, “the kids are making sure she’s never alone — they’ve been with her constantly, sharing stories, laughing through the tears and just being together,” the source adds. “There’s a lot of pain, but also a lot of comfort from the family time that they got to enjoy up until the very end.”

Osbourne’s family announced his death in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

“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,” the statement read. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

After his death, the source told PEOPLE that Osbourne and his wife had returned to his home country, settling down in Buckinghamshire.

“Sharon had wanted to move back to England for years, especially as she got older. England was always home for them, but it became more than that,” the source told PEOPLE at the time. “It was about creating peace and the best life possible together in their final chapter. The path back to England wasn’t easy. His health has been fragile for years. … It was a gift, because they got a year and half together, at home.”

Indeed, “Ozzy’s final days were spent in England, surrounded by family, music and in the place he called home. He was in peace,” the source added to PEOPLE at the time.

Before his death, Osbourne was vocal about his health journey — particularly his battle with Parkinson’s disease — over the years. However, at the top of 2025, his condition had worsened. Despite wanting to tour, he canceled a string of European dates, because his body could no longer handle the travel and physical strain.

“This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans,” he wrote in a statement at the time. “My singing voice is fine. However… I’m not physically capable of doing the upcoming tour dates.”

In the weeks prior to his death, the rock icon performed from a throne at the Black Sabbath farewell concert on July 5 in Birmingham.

“That show meant everything,” the source told PEOPLE last week. “It brought his career full circle.”
