Sharon Osbourne has paid an emotional tribute to her late husband Ozzy on what would have been their 46th wedding anniversary.
The 73-year-old shared a photograph on Instagram over the weekend showing the couple holding hands, accompanied by a deeply personal message.
"Today would have been our 46th wedding anniversary," she began.
"Instead, it is a celebration of a love that even death could not diminish. I miss your hand in mine, but I carry your love with me every step of the way."

Sharon was flooded with support from fans on Instagram soon after sharing the tribute. However, it was daughter Kelly who penned the most meaningful.
On her own page, Kelly wrote a "letter" to her mother on her first wedding anniversary without Ozzy.
The letter began with: "My Dearest Mummy. Today feels different. A day that was once filled with celebration now carries a quiet ache.
"This is your first wedding anniversary without Daddy by your side, and I can only imagine how heavy your heart must feel. There are some dates that remind us just how deeply we have loved, and today is one of them."
She went on: "I hope you know that love like yours doesn't end when a life does. It changes shape. It becomes the warmth of the sun on your face when you need comfort, the memories that make you smile through tears, the quiet moments when you somehow know he’s near.
"Daddy may no longer walk beside you, but he will never stop walking with you."
Reflecting on the 12 months of grief her mother faced, Kelly continued: "He would be so incredibly proud of the woman you are becoming. Not because you've forgotten him, but because you've found a way to keep living while carrying him with you.

The Black Sabbath frontman passed away last July, aged 76.
His death on July 22, 2025, came after a lengthy public struggle with Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological condition he had been diagnosed with years earlier.
The legendary rocker's passing occurred just 17 days after he headlined a massive farewell concert called Back to the Beginning at Villa Park in his native Birmingham.
The event saw him reunite with his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for one final performance together.
"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," the Osbourne family announced at the time.
"He was with his family and surrounded by love."
Kelly Osbourne also penned an emotional letter over the weekend
| GETTYThe couple tied the knot in Hawaii on July 4, 1982, shortly after Ozzy finalised his divorce from his first wife, Thelma Riley.
Together they had three children: Aimee, Kelly and Jack, while Ozzy was also father to Jessica and Louis from his previous marriage.
Their relationship weathered significant turbulence over the decades. In 1989, Ozzy was arrested for attempting to strangle Sharon during a drug-induced blackout.
The pair briefly separated in 2016 following revelations of an affair by the former Black Sabbath frontman, but reconciled the following year and renewed their wedding vows.

In September 2025, Sharon had spoken publicly for the first time about navigating life without Ozzy.
"I'm still having trouble finding the words to express how grateful I am for the overwhelming love and support you've shown on social media," she wrote. "Your comments, posts and tributes have brought me more comfort than you know."
