Sharon Osbourne was seen for the first time since her husband Ozzy’s funeral on Thursday as her daughter Kelly discussed their new shared passion for falconry.
The mother-daughter duo have been spending some time together in Cornwall, which Kelly, 40, had said ‘put a smile back on mum’s face.’
Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy passed away on July 22 at age 76, and was laid to rest the following week on the grounds of his mansion in Buckinghamshire.
Kelly shared an update on Thursday, as she visited Cornwall Falconry in Bugle near St Austell with her mum, 72.
In the Instagram video, she is heard asking her mum to ‘put her hand out’ with the owl then leaving her head and landing on Sharon’s hand.
Kelly wrote: ‘Today I introduced my mum to falconry and she loved it! @gerardsulter Thank you for putting a smile on my mum’s face too!’

Sharon has remained silent on social media since Ozzy’s death but has liked posts shared by his team as she continues to grieve his death.
Over the weekend the team managing his Instagram account posted a recent picture of him performing on stage.
They wrote in the caption: ‘I don’t wanna say goodbye. When I do, you’ll be alright. After all, I did it all for you.’
News of Ozzy’s death earlier this summer sparked an outpouring of tributes from fans in the music world and showbiz industry alike.
The musician, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22 surrounded by his family.
His funeral on July 30 was attended by his family and a host of rock royalty.
Sharon and their children were joined by stars including Marilyn Manson and Ozzy’s lead guitarist Zakk Wylde during the event at the family’s 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross.
Official documents listed three causes of death for the rock legend. This included an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease with autonomic dysfunction.

In a statement shared last month, Ozzy’s family said he died ‘surrounded by love’, adding: ‘It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.’
Last month the BBC were reportedly forced to pull an Ozzy documentary from schedules after the late rocker’s family expressed concerns that the show was ‘rushed’.
In August Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home – billed as a ‘moving and inspirational account of the last chapter’ of the star’s life – was suddenly removed from TV listings just hours before broadcast with no explanation as to why.
It’s since emerged that the broadcaster allegedly had no choice but to take last-minute action due to the Osbourne family’s concern about the speed at which the show was made.
It later emerged that both the BBC and Paramount+ were producing documentaries on the rocker after filmmakers were given access to him for the final three years of his life, with the channels said to be in a ‘race’ to air unseen footage.
It was then suggested that it was for this reason, as well as the family’s worries about the ‘overall tone and theme’, that the documentary had been delayed.

A source told The Sun: ‘There have been conversations behind the scenes that maybe the BBC were rushing their show on Ozzy out – especially because Paramount+ also had a film in the offing.’
They told how the BBC’s production had originally set out to make a ten-part series called called Home To Roost charting Ozzy and wife Sharon’s move back to the UK, however upon his death, it was decided it would be a one-off film.
The insider continued: ‘What mattered the most to the family was the overall tone and theme of the programme, which features Ozzy and Sharon in one of their last interviews together.
‘It started to feel like the goal being pursued by the BBC and the makers of the film was to get the show on air faster than the Paramount+ doc. Naturally that has caused some concerns with the family.’
The Daily Mail contacted Sharon and Kelly Osbourne’s representatives for comment.
The show was scheduled to air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on Wednesday August 18 at 9pm.
