Sharon Osbourne has suffered another heartbreaking loss just months after losing her beloved husband, Ozzy. The 73-year-old took to Instagram to reveal that her “darling boy” Elvis, her dog, has passed away after 14 years together.
Her pet’s death comes just months after the passing of the Black Sabbath star who died in July this year. Posting sweet snaps of herself with Elvis, Sharon wrote: “I can’t believe I am posting this but my darling Elvis passed away this week. He gave me 14 precious years. He was by my side until the end. Rest in peace my darling boy!”
Elvis uploaded four snaps of her precious pomsky pooch, who was a cross between a pomeranian and Siberian husky. In the first image, Sharon is staring lovingly at Elvis as he puts his paws up on a table.
In the second, he is lying in a personalised dog bed next to her as she appears on a talk show.
The last two photographs show the dog with Ozzy, first as the late Black Sabbath frontman laughs and then lying on his chest.
Fans rushed to the comments to send their love and support to the former X Factor judge.
One wrote: “Oh no, I’m so sorry for your loss. He’s with Ozzy now, they will both continue to watch over you.”
A second penned: “This poor woman has been through it all lately.” While a third said: “Ozzy needed a little bit of you with him. So sorry for your loss xxx”

Sharon was married to Ozzy from 1982 until his death in July.
They share their three kids together, Kelly, Aimee and Jack. Sharon has recently taken a step back from the public eye to grieve in private with Jack confessing that his mum is “not okay”.
He recently said: “She’s just trying to figure out where to go from here, how to navigate, what’s the new norm, what’s the new baseline, ‘What do I do without my person?’ But she’s got a lot of love and support around her.”
Kelly has also spoken about her mother’s grief, saying: “I think what’s happening to my mum is the most heartbreaking part of this whole thing. And I think that watching the man that she loves most in this world wither is really, really hard.”

Before his death, Ozzy credited Sharon for the reason he lived so long, stating that without her he would never have gotten sober or been as successful as he was.
He said: “If it wasn’t for Sharon Osbourne, I wouldn’t be here now. I would definitely not have the success I have. I wouldn’t be sober. I’d be six foot under without a shadow of a doubt.
“Because I didn’t drink any less or do any more drugs than any of them, but all the guys I used to do it with, they’re all dead, so there must be something I did right in the world. The one thing I did was have my Sharon.”
