Ozzy died ‘surrounded by love’ in July at the age of 76, soon after a farewell concert in his beloved home city of Birmingham with a Black Sabbath reunion.
Tributes flooded in from around the world as fans paid their respects for a public procession and many celebs joined in mourning the musician.
And at the time, many people also reached out to Sharon as it’s said she received condolences from global leaders, including the likes of Trump.

The former The X Factor judge met the US president back in 2010 when she took part in the version of Celebrity Apprentice that he fronted in the states.
Yesterday (12 November), Sharon got together with two of her children, Kelly and Jack, for the first episode of The Osbournes podcast for the first time since Ozzy died.
Sharing memories and the ‘incredible outpouring of love from around the world’, they played a recording of a voicemail left by Trump.
He says in the message: “Hi, Sharon. It's Donald Trump, and I just wanted to wish you the best and the family.”
Trump goes on to describe the rocker as an ‘amazing guy’ as he continues: “I met him a few times and I wanna tell you he was unique in every way and talented.
“So I just wanted to wish you the best and it’s a tough thing, I know how close you were, and whatever I can do. Take care of yourself, say hello to the family. Thanks, bye.”
Sharon went on to say she was able to put politics came aside when it came to receiving the message from Trump as Jack said: “Love him or hate him, he didn’t have to call and leave a voicemail."
Sharon explained: “Listen, when it comes to politics, we know nobody comes out a winner. Whoever you like, there's, half of people are gonna go like this [gesturing a clash].
“And now it's more so than ever in history is it that people's choice of which party, which politician, you can't come out a winner.
All I know is a man that I know, I worked with for a month. I spent one month with him and his wife [Melania Trump], who was always gracious, elegant, just a delight to talk to, his wife.”
Sharon, who also shared that the family received a 'lovely letter' from King Charles, went on to say Trump has always been kind and ‘treated me with respect’.
She concluded: "For him to take his time to do that for us. And because do you know what? He doesn't live in a bubble. He knows what's going on in the streets. And I can't say that for our prime minister."
