'But I honestly find this such frightening times. I just think it's a really, really frightening time to be alive... I cry every day when I watch the death toll go up, and more and more people catch this virus, and I'm just you know, devastated by it. For me, I'm like, you know, heartbroken.'
The Osbournes have been taking extra precautions when it comes to staying safe from COVID-19, due to Ozzy's health problems over the last few years.
The rocker has been diagnosed with Parkinson's, meaning he falls into the category of those more vulnerable to the virus. Those with underlying health issues are more at risk of not being able to recover, if they were to contract coronavirus.

The couple's other daughter Kelly was previously seen pleading with fans to stay home and adhere to strict lockdown measures put in place by governments in countries all over the world in order to keep people, like her father, safe.
Posing with a sign that read '#stayhomeforOzzy', Kelly said: 'I wish there was something I could say to comfort you all. Some wisdom I could drop on you to relive you from the fear that surrounds us all right now.
'The truth is I am scared too. Both of my parents are high risk especially my dad.
'If I would have known 3 weeks ago when I sent them off to panama that that was gonna be the last time I got to hug and kiss them for a while… I would have held on a little longer.
'However these are the sacrifices we must make. I stay home for my mum and dad. If you don't have anyone to stay home for I beg you.
'Help put a smile on my dads face while he is in quarantine by posting a pic of your best Ozzy impersonation and I love you all.'
Ozzy revealed in an emotional interview, alongside Sharon, earlier this year that he has been battling Parkinson's.
Parkinson's causes muscle stiffness, slowness of movement, tremors, sleep disturbance, chronic fatigue, an impaired quality of life and can lead to severe disability.
Speaking to Good Morning America, The Black Sabbath star admitted he could no longer hide his health struggles and that he is on a 'whole host' of medications to treat his nerve pain.
The common disease, he said, began when he suffered a fall last year and started experiencing nerve pain.
Insisting he was 'far from' his deathbed - as had been misreported - the singer said he wanted to 'own up' to his condition for the sake of his fans.
