Sharon Osbourne looked visibly emotional during husband Ozzy Osbourne’s funeral procession.
Hundreds of the Black Sabbath frontman’s supporters filled the streets Wednesday, July 30, in Birmingham, England, to pay their respects to Osbourne. His wife of over 40 years cried while surrounded by the couple’s three children together, Kelly, Aimee and Jack.
The outspoken former cohost of “The Talk” on CBS held the hands of her children during the public affair.
Osbourne’s body traveled in a hearse accompanied by a brass band to Black Sabbath Bridge and bench, where thousands of fans have already paid their respects with flowers and tributes, per a press release.

The Prince of Darkness, as he was affectionately known by legion of fans, died in Birmingham weeks after the legendary rocker’s reunion with Black Sabbath for a final concert in England. The July 5 concert was a reprieve from the British singer’s Parkinson’s disease battle, which had rendered him unable to stand or walk without assistance.
The Osbourne family – known by younger generations for their MTV reality show “The Osbournes,” which aired from 2002 to 2005 – announced his death in a statement shared with USA TODAY July 22.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy 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,” read the note, signed by wife Sharon and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee as well as Louis, his son with Thelma Riley. He also had two other children, Jessica and Elliot.
