Sharon Osbourne kissed a picture of her late husband Ozzy as she attended a Parkinson’s charity event on Wednesday.
The star, 73, posed beside a photo of the legendary rocker before leaning in to give him a peck in sweet snaps.
Black Sabbath legend Ozzy, who was living with Parkinson’s, died of heart failure on July 22 last year, just two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his bandmates at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham.
Sharon wore all white for the event, which was the official launch of Czech & Speake’s ‘No.88 The Prince Of Darkness’ limited edition fragrance.
The event was held at Carl Friedrik in Regent Street in London.
The fragrance is a tribute to Ozzy in aid of Cure Parkinson’s.

Last month Sharon told the Daily Mail how she is planning a biopic film about Ozzy’s life and career.
Earlier this year it was reported she had made the heartbreaking decision to return to the US part-time following Ozzy’s passing, having relocated to the UK with him before his death.
While Ozzy is buried in the grounds of Buckinghamshire, the couple’s three children, Aimee, Jack and Kelly, as well as their five grandchildren, have returned to their homes in Los Angeles.
And after spending the Christmas holidays in LA with her children, Sharon has now decided to split her time evenly between her UK home and a new apartment in Los Angeles, spending ‘half the year at least’ on the West Coast, according to The Sun.
According to one source, the move could become permanent, with expectations that she will ‘probably just spend most of her time in the US again within a couple of years’.
Sharon is a doting grandmother to Jack’s daughters – Pearl, Andy Rose, Minnie Theodora and Maple Artemis – and also to Kelly’s little boy, Sidney, and misses being a part of their daily lives, insiders say.
Sharon and Ozzy were supposed to return to the UK in 2024 as they had been working on a ten-part reality series called Home To Roost, documenting their return to England.
But it was believed that Ozzy was simply not well enough, and they finally returned earlier last summer, in time for his final Black Sabbath reunion concert at Aston Villa’s Villa Park stadium in Birmingham.

Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy died in July last year aged 76 just two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his bandmates at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham
There, he was joined by fellow original band members Tony Iommi, Terence ‘Geezer’ Butler and Bill Ward on stage.
Sharon and her daughter Kelly made a heartfelt speech in honour oOzzy as he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s BRITs.
The pair were introduced to the stage by Dolly Parton, who appeared in a pre-recorded message from Nashville, ahead of Robbie Williams‘ performance with members of Ozzy’s band.
Sharon lovingly described her late husband as ‘The most humble egomaniac you could ever meet’ as Kelly stood supportively beside her.
The former X Factor judge told the crowd: ‘I’m honoured to accept this award from my gorgeous husband, this Lifetime Achievement Award. God knows, I wish he was here to accept it himself.’
She went on to say that she knew her late husband would be looking down on them and how he hated speeches, but she couldn’t help but ‘waffle on’ as she regaled the audience with tales of Ozzy’s achievements.
‘He came from a small working class neighbourhood in Birmingham. He rose to become one of the most recognisable and respected musicians of his life, and he was filled with extraordinarily wonderful high times but very, very real low times.
‘But he never stopped tirelessly pushing himself to do better. He always wanted to do better both personally and professionally’.
She went on: ‘We spent most of our lives touring the world. But Ozzy’s heart never left England. Wherever we were in the world, he was always proud to be that working class Brummie, and he never let anyone forget it’.
Sharon said that she was accepting the award not only for Ozzy but also his ‘incredible family’ his fellow musicians who helped him along the away, as well as fans who lined the streets of Birmingham during his memorial.
‘If Ozzy was here tonight with us, he would be showing us that gorgeous smile that he had and I know he would be so proud to receive this from the country that he loved. So he may not be here, but he left us one amazing body of work that will never be forgotten by the country that made him.’

In recent weeks Sharon has come under fire from fans for confirming she would be attending an anti-immigration march organised by far-Right commentator Tommy Robinson.
Next month’s ‘Unite The Kingdom’ march follows a similar rally in September at Trafalgar Square, which drew over 100,000 participants.
Robinson has been drumming up support for the march in social media posts and earlier this week shared an Instagram video on the Gauci Reports account galvanising followers to mark May 16 as the date ‘Britain rises and reunites’.
‘It’s the date the world hears our roar, and that we have had enough of migration and mass immigration and the oppression from a tyrannical government,’ he said.
Robinson said he wanted to ‘bring London to a standstill’ adding, ‘they have tried to silence us for decades, but we will be silenced no more’.
Osbourne commented on the post: ‘See you at the march.’
