The grieving process for a loved one often brings comfort from unexpected places, and for Sharon Osbourne, one such moment came from a voice many would find surprising. During a recent emotional episode of her family’s podcast, Sharon shared a personal voicemail she received from Donald Trump following the passing of her husband, the legendary rock star Ozzy Osbourne. The heartfelt message left the usually tough-minded television personality visibly moved and brought to tears as she listened to it alongside her children.
The former president’s message was a straightforward and sincere offering of condolence. In the recording, Trump expressed his sympathies to Sharon and the entire Osbourne family, praising Ozzy as an “amazing” and “unique” individual. He mentioned having met the rock icon on several occasions and acknowledged the deep bond that Sharon and Ozzy shared. The call was an unprompted gesture of support during a difficult time, a simple act of reaching out from one public figure to another.
Sharon took a moment to reflect on her own personal history with Trump, recalling the time she spent with him and his wife, Melania, while she was a contestant on his show, The Celebrity Apprentice, back in 2010. She remembered both of them as being gracious and delightful to work with, separating her personal experience from the divisive world of political opinion. She stated that in politics, nobody truly comes out a winner, acknowledging the deep conflicts that surround any political figure.
Her gratitude, however, was focused solely on the personal kindness he had shown her family. Fighting back tears, Sharon emphasized that for a man as busy and constantly scrutinized as Trump, taking a moment out of his day to offer his condolences was a significant and meaningful act. She repeated her thanks, underscoring how much the gesture meant to her during a period of immense personal loss.

It was a raw display of a widow appreciating a simple act of human kindness, regardless of its source. For Sharon Osbourne and her family, the voicemail was not a political statement, but a touching tribute to a rock legend and a comfort to those he left behind.
