Osbourne family to mark first Christmas without Ozzy at Sharon's home

by · Mail Online

The Osbourne family will gather at Sharon's Buckinghamshire property she shared with Ozzy before his death as they mark their first Christmas without him.

Sharon, 73, had relocated back from the US to England with the Black Sabbath legend before his passing, which was documented by BBC cameras and screened in October. 

Ozzy died of heart failure at his home on July 22 aged 76, just three weeks after performing a farewell gig with his bandmates in his hometown.

His daughter Kelly, 41, has now revealed 14 members of the family will gather at the property, where the rocker is also buried, to celebrate Christmas with Sharon.

She said how she is getting her mother a new puppy following the death of her Serbian Husky Elvis in October, along with bespoke gifts.

Speaking to The Sun, Kelly revealed her brother Louis, Ozzy's eldest son with ex-Thelma Riley, will be on cooking duties whilst she will be the sous chef.

She said: 'We are going to have a proper English Christmas. I always love that.

'They don't even have crackers in LA. You've got to go to the (specialty shop) World Market to get them, and they're not even the best ones.

'So we will have crackers and all watch the King's speech. On the day, there's going to be 14 of us and I ordered everyone that's with us a pair of matching pyjamas to wear.

'We are going to be sitting in front of the telly.'

Kelly explained that Jack, who arrived back from Australia earlier this month following his stint on I'm A Celebrity, will spend Christmas in LA with his pregnant wife Aree Gearhart and their daughter Maple.

She added that Sharon will fly out to be with him two days after Christmas.

Kelly concluded to the publication: 'I just want to get through Christmas without crying.' 

Earlier this month Sharon revealed she didn't want to live anymore after her husband passed away.

In a heart wrenching interview with Piers Morgan: Uncensored, Sharon spoke of what stopped her from 'going with Ozzy'.

The television personality revealed it was the love for her children; Aimee, 42, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40, which stopped her.

She said through tears: 'I would have just gone with Ozzy… Oh, yeah, definitely, I've done everything I wanted to do…

'But they've been, they've been, excuse me, unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them.' 

Piers asked: 'They're the reason, and their kids are the reason why you’ve got to hang in there?'

The former X Factor judge replied: 'Years ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head.

'And there were two girls over there - they didn't know each other, but they were in there, each mother had committed suicide, and I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.'

She added: 'Grief has now become my friend… Is it very weird to me, you know, when you love someone that much and you're grieving for them, it's what I have to live with, and I'll get used to it. I will, I have to, you know, things move on.'

Sharon said she is unsure what to do with her life now Ozzy is gone and visits his grave every day.
