Sharon Osbourne has opened up about her singer husband Ozzy Osbourne's recent admission of drug problems, saying she is "devastated" by the news.
"Everybody knows he's been struggling with this his entire life and I never knew that he was using prescription drugs. I knew he was drinking occasionally, but I didn't realise to what extend. It's our business - we're dealing with it. We're not getting divorced. However, am I happy? No. Am I upset? Yes, I am - I'm devastated right now," she said.
Sharon, 60, added that all of Ozzy's Facebook confessional was unfortunately "very true", reported Us magazine.
"He's been using alcohol and prescription drugs for the last year-and-a-half and he has been in a very dark place. That's true. It's very true. It's a disease that not only hurts the person that has the disease but it hurts the family," she continued.
Ozzy confessed that he had fallen off the wagon for a bit.
"I am happy to say that I am now 44 days sober. I would like to apologise to Sharon, my family, my friends and my band mates for my insane behaviour during this period and my fans," he had said.
The 64-year-old rocker's six children -- Elliot, 46, Jessica, 41, Louis, 37, Aimee, 29, Kelly, 28, and Jack, 27 -- have yet to speak out publicly about their father's admission.
Sharon is confident that the family's most recent hurdle will only make them stronger.
