Sharon Osbourne is mourning the loss of her beloved dog, Elvis.

On Sunday (Oct. 19), the 72-year-old television personality and longtime wife and manager of the late Ozzy Osbourne took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message honoring her loyal companion.


“I can’t believe I am posting this but my darling Elvis passed away this week,” she wrote alongside a carousel of photos featuring the Siberian Husky. “He gave me 14 precious years. He was by my side until the end. Rest in peace my darling boy!”

Elvis was adopted by Sharon and Ozzy and became a cherished member of their large family of animals, which over the years has included dogs, cats, and even rescue pigs. The Siberian Husky was often seen curled up in Sharon’s lap during interviews, TMZ reports.

Elvis’s passing comes nearly a year after the Osbourne family experienced another loss — the death of Ozzy’s 15-year-old Pomeranian, Rocky, in August 2024.

“Two days ago I lost my good friend Rocky who has been at my side for 15 years,” the Black Sabbath frontman wrote on X at the time. “I’ll see you on the other side my friend. I love you always.”

The loss of Elvis also comes nearly three months after Ozzy himself passed away on July 22 at the age of 76. Sharon addressed her husband’s death for the first time in mid-September, posting an emotional message on Instagram alongside a video of herself and daughter Kelly at a falconry in England.

“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. None of it has gone unnoticed, in fact, it’s carried me through many nights.”
