“He gave me 14 precious years. He was by my side until the end. Rest in peace my darling boy!”
Fans send their support to Sharon Osbourne following the death of her dog
Thousands of Sharon’s followers took to the comment section to send their support.

“So so sorry for your loss,” another said.
May Ozzy watch over him till y’all meet again.
“We are so sorry to hear about Elvis’ passing. Thinking of you and your family and sending love. Elvis will live on in every beautiful memory you shared,” animal rights organisation PETA wrote.
“My sweet guy. What a year [broken heart emoji],” another follower said.
“I am sorry about the loss of Elvis. The loss of a dog is sometimes as painful as the loss of a person. For you, too many losses in a span of a few months. Bear up your tough,” a fifth added.
Jack Osbourne shares update on his mum
The sad news comes just weeks after Sharon’s son, Jack, issued an update on how his mum’s doing following Ozzy’s death.
Speaking on Good Morning America earlier this month, Jack was asked about Sharon.
“You know, when people have been asking me that question, I say: ‘She’s okay, but she’s not okay,'” he said.
The father-of-four said that Sharon can “feel the affection and appreciation” from fans, adding: “Oh my God, yeah. I know she feels the love.”
Continuing, he said: “None of us expected it to be like this, with that outpour of love. Every child sits there and kind of has this thought about one day that parents won’t be there, and what will that be like?
“It’s just a part of being human. We just didn’t think of it. It was a different weight to it, you know?”
