Sharon Osbourne has suffered another devastating loss after her beloved dog Elvis died just weeks after the death of husband Ozzy.

Daughter Kelly, 40, also shared her own heartbreaking post, concluding that her father must have needed Elvis by his side in heaven.

She penned: ‘It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that we lost Elvis this week. Our guardian angel has left us. Elvis did not leave my side since my dad passed’.
‘He helped get me through the darkest moment of my life. I keep trying to find a positive in all of this and the only thing I can come up with is that maybe my dad needed him. Life can be so cruel but also give you many treasures. We were so lucky to have Elvis for 14 years. Thank you for all the love Elvis you were on of a kind. I love you sleep well sweet prince until we meet again!’.
Fans rushed to offer their condolences and reassured Sharon that Elvis had now been been reunited with her beloved Ozzy.

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.

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.
And her son Jack said on Good Morning America: ‘She’s okay, but she’s not okay. I know she feels the love.’
