The couple, who had relocated to California in the early 2000s, revealed that they missed their home country and wanted to reconnect with their roots. Ozzy had previously spoken about the challenges of living in America, particularly his concerns about the country’s political climate and the increasing cost of living in Los Angeles. The announcement came as a surprise to many, especially considering how long the couple had lived in California and how closely associated they had become with the city.

Despite their initial plan to return home, almost two years have passed, and the Osbournes have not yet made the move across the pond. In a recent episode of The Osbournes Podcast, which aired on Tuesday, July 16, the couple addressed their ongoing stay in Los Angeles and the reasons for the delay. Sharon explained that although they were eager to return to the UK, logistical issues had complicated the process, and they were still in the midst of sorting out the details. They also mentioned the ongoing challenges of finding a suitable property and the difficulty of making such a significant life change.

Ozzy, in particular, has faced health challenges in recent years, which has contributed to the delay. His struggles with mobility and recovery from various surgeries have made it harder for him to make the transition back to the UK. Sharon also noted that the couple’s family and friends in Los Angeles had become an integral part of their support system, making it even more difficult to uproot after so many years. The couple’s plans were further complicated by the ongoing global uncertainties, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic instability.
