Sharon Osbourne, one of television’s most identifiable faces, recently shared the heartbreaking news of losing her cherished dog, Elvis, just few months after losing her esteemed husband and rock legend, Ozzy Osbourne.
The Osbourne family was already dealing with a profound loss as they mourned the death of their patriarch, Ozzy, in July. Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne had been married for over four decades before the rock star’s demise.
Suffering a new loss in such a short span of time, Sharon Osbourne shares her pain as her dear husky, Elvis passes away. The former chat show host and popular figure in reality TV expressed her sorrow over the sudden demise of her pet dog through a heartfelt post on Instagram.
In the heartbreaking message, Sharon wrote, “I can’t believe I am posting this but my darling Elvis passed away this week. He gave me 14 precious years. He was by my side until the end. Rest in peace my darling boy!”
Her daughter, Kelly Osbourne, also shared her sentiments and grief over the irreplaceable loss of Elvis on Instagram. In her post, Kelly mentioned how Elvis stayed by her side even after her father’s death – acting as their ‘guardian angel’.

Despite her heartache, Kelly tried to find a silver lining amidst the sadness. She speculated that perhaps their beloved father, Ozzy, needed Elvis by his side, somewhere far from this world.

Fans of the family soon flooded their platforms with messages of consolation, expressing their belief that Elvis is now reunited with Ozzy. Fans emphasized the invaluable presence of Elvis in Sharon’s life, remembering how the dog was always there for her.
As condolences poured in, Sharon and her family stayed away from the limelight following Ozzy’s funeral in late July. A few weeks later, in a heartfelt video, Sharon and Kelly extended their gratitude for their fans’ unwavering support in such a trying time.
