TV personality Sharon Osbourne is on a mission to track down the Good Samaritan who returned her diamond wedding band after she lost it during a high-profile meet-and-greet at Premier League soccer team Aston Villa’s new store at Villa Park near Birmingham, UK.
Osbourne, who became a household name during the early 2000s when she starred with her family on the MTV reality show, The Osbournes, turned to her 1.5 million Instagram followers for help in identifying the person who found the ring on the floor of the store and literally ran after the celebrity as she left the event and headed to her car.
Osbourne was so shocked to get the ring back that she neglected to offer a proper "thank you" to the woman.
In a heartfelt 90-second video, the 71-year-old Osbourne recounted how she "had the best time ever" at the meet-and-greet, and didn't realize that her band had slipped off her finger.
As Osbourne left the venue and headed to the car park, a woman came running up to her with a ring in hand.
"And she goes, 'Is this your band?' Osbourne recounted. "And it's my wedding band. And I was like, 'Oh, my god.'"
"She found it on the floor of the store and presumed it was mine," Osbourne continued. "[She] came running after me and gave it to me, and I never got her name 'cause I was just in shock."
Osbourne explained why the diamond wedding band is so important to her and her husband, heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne.
"I just want to say a huge, huge thank you because my original one got stolen and Ozzy replaced it with this," she said, "and if I'd lost this it would have been terrible."
Osbourne requested anyone who knows the woman to provide her name in the comments of her Instagram post.
In the caption that accompanied the video, Sharon wrote to her hero: "Not only did you save me from losing one of my most cherished items, but you also restored my faith in people. I would love to thank you sincerely, if you are on Instagram or someone knows her Instagram page please post in my comments below!!!"
The Osbournes aired on MTV from March 5, 2002, to March 21, 2005 — for a total of 52 episodes. Ozzy, who fronted Black Sabbath, retired from touring in 2023 due to health issues. Sharon hosted her own daytime talk show, The Sharon Osbourne Show, and became a celebrity judge on the UK's The X Factor.
