Sharon Osbourne said: “He took the time to write us a letter that was delivered to us personally, a message from the royal with his condolences on the death of Ozzy. And that says so much.”
Sharon Osbourne played the former US President’s recorded message from her cell phone in the current episode. Trump said: “Hi, Sharon, it’s Donald Trump. I just wanted to wish you well. Ozzy was great. He was an incredible person. I met him a few times and I want to tell you that he was unique and talented in every way. I just wanted to wish you well, and that’s really hard. I know how close you were and I’ll do what I can. Take care of yourself. Give my regards to your family.”
After the voice message ended, Jack Osbourne appreciated the US President’s gesture. Regardless of whether you love him or hate him, Trump didn’t have to make that call.
