‘And then, unfortunately, one of my granddaughters has come down with Covid. She’s okay; she’s doing good. I don’t have it.’
‘Her daddy doesn’t have it. Her mommy doesn’t have it. Her sisters don’t. She got it from somebody who works for my son. And it just goes to show you, she’s three years of age, that children can get COVID.’
Osbourne said her heart was with the show on it’s 11th season debut, but she was acting out of caution amid the pandemic, and following safety protocols.
‘Oh my Lord, I want to see you guys so bad,’ she said. ‘I’ve got one more week left of quarantining and then I’m out.
‘And as I say, I don’t have it. I keep testing negative, but, you know, you have to be safe.’

Sheryl Underwood asked Sharon, ‘Sharon, did Jack ask about me? He may need me to come and quarantine with him.’
She replied that Jack was ‘equally as upset because he was planning on coming to the studio with me just to wish you good luck.’
It’s been a challenging year health-wise for the famed family, as Ozzy Osbourne, 71, said he was living with Parkinson’s disease earlier this year. He said that he wasn’t aware of the full diagnosis until last year.
She said of her granddaughter’s postitive test, ‘It just goes to show you, she’s three years of age, that children can get COVID-19’
‘I’m not good at secrets. I cannot walk around with it anymore,’ he said in a January appearance. ‘I feel better now of owning up to the fact that I have a case of Parkinson’s.’
The show’s 11th season debuted Monday, with hosts Underwood, Eve and Carrie Ann Inaba present.
As of Monday, on a global level, 962,232 people have died amid 31,180,434 positive diagnoses worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University. The death total for COVID-19 in the U.S. was at 199,756 people, with 6,830,209 total positive diagnoses.
