Jack Osbourne’s Cooking With the Stars co-star Ekin-Su Culculoglu has sent an emotional message to his mum Sharon and the Osbourne family after the death of rock legend Ozzy

Cooking with the Stars contestant Ekin-Su Culculoglu gave co-star Jack Osbourne and his family a heartfelt message on Good Morning Britain today in the wake of Ozzy Osbourne’s death. The former Love Island star is set to appear on the ITV cooking competition with Jack, which was filmed before the death of his rock legend father.

Speaking to hosts Kate Garraway and Adil Ray, Ekin-Su sent her well-wishes to the grieving family. “I did Big Brother with Sharon and I just did Cooking with the Stars with Jack. Sharon is such a motherly figure and I think she’s just so loving.

“He was everything to Sharon and the family so for this to happen so tragically, I just want Sharon to look after herself.” It comes after Ozzy Osbourne’s lowkey funeral was held yesterday, with guests arriving at their mansion.

Ekin-Su added: “She’s very vulnerable and I’m sending all my love to their family. Jack – such a sweet guy. A loss is always quite heartbreaking and when it’s such a known person and an iconic person who’s passed away, it hits us all.”

As presenter Adil highlighted how the family are grieving in the public eye, Ekin-Su added: “We all obviously are involved in it but I feel like it is quite private though. They do need some privacy and some time to grieve privately as well.”

It’s been an emotional week for the Osbourne family and Black Sabbath fans, with a procession being held in Birmingham on Wednesday in honour of the music icon. Fans were able to pay their respects to Ozzy, who died aged 76 on July 22, at the public procession before his private funeral the following day.

The family also visiting the procession on Broad Street, with his kids Kelly and Jack accompanying mum Sharon and rarely-seen sister Aimee at the Black Sabbath bridge and bench. Sharon broke down in tears at the funeral procession as she watched the outpouring of love for Ozzy from fans.

At Ozzy’s intimate funeral yesterday, the family were joined by his Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler as well as Sir Elton John at a church in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire.

Ozzy was “desperate to come home” in recent years following his Parkinson’s diagnosis, and he made it back to England before his death.
