Sharon Osbourne has revealed the final words of her husband Ozzy Osbourne following his death in July.
The legendary rocker sadly passed away at the age of 76 at his Buckinghamshire home, with his family sharing a statement confirming that he had died in his home 'surrounded by love', just weeks after a performance alongside Black Sabbath at Villa Park in Birmingham.
A funeral procession for Osbourne was held in his hometown, with Sharon attending alongside their children, Kelly, Jack, and Aimee. His son from his first marriage, Louis Osbourne, was also in attendance.
Sharon and Ozzy had made the move back to the UK, fulfilling the musician's final wish to return to England, and five months on from his death, the former X-Factor judge has opened up about her late husband's final moments.

Chatting with Piers Morgan on his show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, she revealed that a doctor had warned that Ozzy, who had Parkinson's disease, might not even get through the show.
Sharon said: "The main doctor said to him that if he did the show, 'that's it, you're not gonna get through it. ... He didn't want to die on stage, he didn't."
She said that he'd told her that 'he was having dreams in the last week of his life', where he kept 'seeing people that he never knew', adding: "And he knew. He was ready."
The Osbournes star also recalled the moment she found him dying, as she continued to say: "He had a heart attack. I ran downstairs, and there he was, and they were trying to resuscitate him, and I’m like, ‘Don’t — just leave him. Leave him. You can’t. He’s gone’.
"I knew instantly he’d gone. And they tried and tried, and then they took him by helicopter to the hospital, and they tried, and it’s like, ‘He’s gone. Just leave him'."
Sharon also said of his final hours: "He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30 and he said, 'Wake up'. I said, 'I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up'. And he said, 'Kiss me'. And then he said, 'Hug me tight'.
"I can’t help wondering if I should have, could I have? If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter. And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away."
The Osbournes also spoke on their podcast about how they'd been doing since Ozzy's death, with Sharon getting emotional after receiving a voicemail from President Donald Trump.
Kelly said that the 'outpouring of love' the family had received had been 'so helpful', with Sharon adding: "Ozzy, he wouldn't believe it. He wouldn't. He didn't realise how much he was loved, and that was his beauty, because he never took it for granted from anyone.
"He never took it for granted. He had no idea."
Jack, who is currently in the Australian jungle for I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, also opened up about his father's death to campmate Lisa Riley, where he said that Ozzy's death 'was definitely a shock'.
