During the episode, recorded on Tuesday, the family discussed the overwhelming support they’ve received following the Black Sabbath frontman’s passing at 76 from a heart attack.
Sharon, 73, played the presidential message during the recording with her children, Kelly, 41, and Jack, 40, as they spoke openly about their bereavement.
The podcast marked their first collective appearance since the rock icon’s death, with the family addressing both their sorrow and the remarkable response from well-wishers worldwide.

In the voicemail, Trump stated: “Hi, Sharon – it’s Donald Trump, and I just wanted to wish you the best and the family. Ozzy was amazing – he was an amazing guy.”
The president continued: “I met him a few times and I wanna tell you he was unique in every way and talented.”
Trump concluded his message by expressing awareness of their close relationship and offering assistance: “So I just wanted to wish you the best, and it’s a tough thing, I know how close you were, and whatever I can do – take care of yourself, say hello to the family – thanks, bye.”
Sharon became visibly moved whilst expressing gratitude for the gesture, saying: “For him to take his time to do that for us, because do you know what, he doesn’t live in a bubble, he knows what’s going on in the streets.”

Sharon acknowledged the divisive nature of politics but emphasised her appreciation: “Again, for President Trump and Melania, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
The family spoke candidly about their ongoing struggle with bereavement, with Sharon admitting: “I hate going to bed at night. I hate going into the room, empty.”

A third praised: “The fact they’re talking about it for the first time here, instead of selling it to the media, says it all, this isn’t for money, it’s for the people that loved him.”
“It isn’t just Ozzy we love, it’s the Osbournes,” a fourth weighed in while a fifth echoed: “This felt like being included in a family discussion. And this is why your family is so loved.”
And a sixth concurred: “Ozzy wasn’t loved, not in the past tense. Ozzy is loved. And as long as people remember him, he always will be.”

The family also disclosed receiving condolences from King Charles, who had a letter hand-delivered to their residence.
