Sharon And Ozzy Osbourne’s Fears For Their Safety
The 70-year-old The Talk UK star revealed that she and her husband – who went public with his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020 after battling it privately since 2003 – want to move back to the UK over safety concerns, which is something that the Black Sabbath rocker previously touched on in an interview with The Observer back in September.
“I’m fed up with people getting killed every day,” the 73-year-old “Into The Void” musician said at the time. “God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… it’s [expletive] crazy.” He added: “And I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in [expletive] Forest Lawn. I’m English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we’ve got to go and live in Timbuktu, I’ll go.”

Sharon Tells 'Consequence' That California Has Changed For The Worse
In a new interview with Consequence, the former X Factor judge said that although she and her husband loved their life in America, the decision to move has been made somewhat easier because "California is not what it once was."
"When I first came here, I thought I was in heaven. In the ‘70s, if you loved music, this was the place to be. It’s not that hub anymore," Sharon explained. "It’s not exciting anymore. It hasn’t gone sideways, it’s gone down. It’s not a fun place to live. It’s dangerous here. Every big city’s got crime, but I don’t feel safe here. Neither does Ozzy."
Sharon And Ozzy Aim To Move In To UK Home In February 2023
Sharon and Ozzy reportedly aim to move into their UK family home in February 2023, following a string of renovations that are currently taking place. Two months ago, the Osbournes matriarch told Fox & Friends that their "house isn't ready yet," adding: "We've had our family house for over 30 years but we haven't lived in it so long. And you go back and you go, 'Oh, it's falling apart.' And so we're redoing it. And then we will move."
The mom-of-three also revealed that the move will be better for her husband and his health concerns, as they will have more land, more privacy, and a different (and hopefully better) lifestyle! "There's a lot more room for Ozzy," Sharon added. "He can go fishing on our land, he can go shooting – he loves to shoot – and it's just a different lifestyle. He can walk around, do his thing, nobody there looking at him. And he can have some privacy."

Ozzy Osbourne's Health Update
The "Paranoid" musician reportedly underwent a "major operation" on his neck in June, which Sharon told The Talk UK "would determine the rest of his life." Ozzy reflected on the surgery in an interview with The Guardian, and explained that there were some complications that added to the problems he faced due to his battle with Parkinson's. "It got so bad that at one point I thought: 'Oh God, please don’t let me wake up tomorrow morning.' Because it was [expletive] agony," he said, before explaining some of the difficulties he faces with walking. "You think you’re lifting your feet, but your foot doesn’t move. I feel like I’m walking around in lead boots," he added.
He also revealed that he experienced depression, which is often a symptom linked to the disease, as he felt he had "reached a plateau" where "nothing really felt great," which then prompted him to start taking antidepressants. "You learn to live in the moment. You don’t know when you’re gonna wake up and you ain’t gonna be able to get out of bed. But you just don’t think about it," he said.
