Sharon Osbourne unrecognisable in new pictures

The TV personality stepped out with her son Jack and granddaughter Maple, but you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a different person entirely.

Sharon Osbourne has been pictured sporting a striking new look.

The TV star, 70, looked almost completely unrecognisable as she met up with son Jack, his fiancee Aree Gearhart and their daughter Maple in Los Angeles over the weekend.

According to the Daily Mail, Sharon had joined her son, soon-to-be daughter-in-law and granddaughter for a day of visiting open houses in the area.

But you’d be forgiven for thinking photos of the family outing were of a completely different person, with the former The Talk star’s facial features looking noticeably plump, and skin particularly taut.

Dressed in a black jacket and scarf, grandmother Sharon was seen blowing kisses at Maple as she smiled and laughed through the day.

The photos come eight months after Sharon, who is married to iconic heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne, revealed she underwent a “horrendous” facelift in 2021.

“I’m telling you, it was horrendous. [To the surgeon] I’m, like, ‘You’ve got to be f***ing joking. One eye was different to the other. I looked like a f***ing Cyclops.’ I’m, like, ‘All I need is a hunchback,’” she recalled in an interview with The Sunday Times.

The television personality revealed that the painful five-and-a-half hour surgery – her fifth facelift at the time – took place in October 2021.

“I had a full facelift done in October and I looked like one of those f***ing mummies that they wrap [with bandages],” adding, “It hurt like hell. You have no idea.”

Sharon has long been open about her plastic surgery procedures over the years, including undergoing gastric band surgery, a full facelift, tummy tuck, an eyelift, abdominoplasty and Botox.

In September 2019, Sharon debuted the results of facelift number four on The Talk, telling the audience that she lifted “everything up” to look “more refreshed” for the show’s tenth season.

While she was still experiencing “a little bit of pain” under her chin from the procedure, she dismissed her discomfort, saying: “You can’t complain when you wanted to do it.”

That same year on The Kelly Clarkson show, she said she could “hardly feel [her] mouth” after the surgery.

“I couldn’t find my mouth. It was numb and it was up on one side and I looked like Elvis. All the kids and Ozzy are going, ‘Why are you snarling at me?’ And I’m like, ‘I’m not snarling. I’m not doing anything!’”

In May this year, Sharon described her multiple cosmetic enhancements as just like “servicing a car”, despite writing in her 2013 memoir, Unbreakable, that she was done going under the knife.

“There’s not much I haven’t had tweaked, stretched, peeled, lasered, veneered, enhanced or removed altogether,” she wrote.

“I don’t think I’m as bad as some women – like Jocelyn ‘Bride of’ Wildenstein. But I won’t be having any more cosmetic procedures.”
