Sharon Osbourne and her kids Jack and Kelly put on a brave face as they visited a giant pumpkin mural of Ozzy.
The Black Sabbath legend died of heart failure at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22, just two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his bandmates at Birmingham’s Villa Park.
In tribute to Ozzy, a mural of the rock star – made from over 10,000 pumpkins – has been unveiled at at Sunnyfields Farm in Totton, Hampshire.
Ozzy’s wife Sharon took a trip to see the mural with her children following the tragic loss of her husband of 43 years.
Sharon, Jack and Kelly walked around the site before being put on a cherry picker to get an aerial view of the 35-foot high sculpture, which has been on display since October 4.
Kelly’s fiancé Sid Wilson and their son Sidney were also in attendance to view the mural on Saturday evening.

The mural was put up by farm owners Tom and Ian Nelson, with the former saying they had issued a public poll in September to decide who they would honour this year, and Ozzy received 70 per cent of the vote.
It took 16 people over four hours to create the mural – which will remain on display until Halloween.
Tom said: ‘It seemed like it meant a lot to them and they were a little emotional.
‘It was a very relaxed atmosphere and they seemed to enjoy their evening. They were just like a normal family having an evening out and thanked us for the tribute at the end.
‘It is always a relief when the public perception of a work like this goes down well.’
Ozzy had been battling a number of health issues in the years leading up to his death, including a fall in 2019 at the family’s home which saw his condition further deteriorate.
Following the news of his passing, Sharon opened up on social media to thank fans for the ‘overwhelming love and support’ shown towards her by his fans.
Sharon admitted she had been ‘carried through’ by those around her, adding she was ‘still finding her footing’ after losing the husband she often said she lived for.

New BBC One documentary Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home is set to chart the self-styled Prince Of Darkness’s return to the United Kingdom after more than three decades in the United States with his wife and children.
It will feature Jack and sibling Kelly speaking about their mum Sharon’s pain over Ozzy’s final years, nursing him though painful operations and trying to help him.
It will also show behind-the-scenes footage from his final farewell concert at Villa Park, following his long battle with Parkinson’s.
It follows new Paramount+ documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now, which features Jack and Kelly’s older sister Aimee speaking about her father’s final few years.
Reflecting on the concert, Jack said: ‘Before he went on stage, I ran back into the dressing room, and I just gave him a big hug.
Ozzy died of a heart attack and had coronary artery disease in addition to suffering from Parkinson’s disease for years, his death certificate, published in August, confirmed (pictured with Sharon in 2017)
‘I just kissed him. I just said, I was like, “Crush it. You’re going to do so good.” And I was crying.
‘I was in the crowd with… there was this area in the crowd and I was with my brother and we both were just crying.
‘It wasn’t because of feeling sorry for him. It wasn’t because we were sad for him.
‘I think it was because we knew it was the last time. In hindsight, it kind of was a living wake if you think about it. He got to say goodbye to everyone.’
