Sharon Osbourne has spoken out for the first time since the death of her husband Ozzy aged 76 on Tuesday, replying to heartfelt messages from fans.
English musician Gavin Rossdale took to Instagram shortly after the news broke to pay tribute to the heavy metal icon, writing: ‘RIP OZZY – a great man -a true legend – I met Ozzy through Jack just a few times but he was so warm and kind and funny and I love that memory.
‘Sending much love to his family at this difficult time. Rest in power.’
Osbourne’s heartbroken wife Sharon replied to his post: ‘Bless you.’
The Black Sabbath legend’s passing was announced by his family on Tuesday night.
