Sharon Osbourne in quarantine after testing 3-year-old granddaughter for COVID-19
On Monday, Sharon Osbourne was due to return to the studio on The View, but was forced to present the show from home after her granddaughter Minnie, three, tested positive for coronavirus.
TV personality Sharon Osbourne is in quarantine after her son Jack Osbourne's 3-year-old daughter Minnie tested positive for the novel coronavirus. According to Page Six, the 67-year-old TV star Osbourne confirmed the same over Skype during the season premiere of 'The Talk' on Monday.
The doting grandmother reassured the panel that Minnie was okay, but that the entire family were now isolating.
Following on from the news, Jack Osbourne was inundated with messages from fans asking how his daughter was, and the doting dad has since spoken out.
Taking to Instagram, the TV personality shared a video from inside his home in LA, of Minnie sitting at the table.
"A lot of you are asking how Minnie is. She is doing totally fine," he said.
Jack then asked his daughter: "Min, how you doing?" to which she replied: "Fine." "Well, she's getting good," he said.
Minnie is Jack's youngest child. The star is also dad to older daughters Pearl and Andy, who he shares with ex-wife Lisa Stelly.
On Monday, Sharon revealed her surprise at Minnie getting the virus, as the rest of her family tested negative for it.
She said: "She's okay, she's doing good. I don't have it. Her daddy doesn't have it. Her mommy doesn't have it. Her sisters don't. She got it from somebody who works for my son.
"And it just goes to show you, she's three years of age, that children can get Covid."
Doting grandmother Sharon has been spending the majority of the summer with her grandchildren, who joined her on a family holiday in August.
Sharon adores spending time with her grandchildren, and opened up about the incredible experience of being a grandmother when Pearl was first born in 2012.
She told People: "It's all overwhelming. But in a good way – in a really positive, lovely way.
"You go through every emotion. You go through joy and you thank god that everybody is healthy and happy. You realise how lucky you are. It's like life has gone full cycle in our family."
She said, "I was meant to be in the studio, I was so looking forward to it. And then, unfortunately, one of my granddaughters has come down with COVID."
Osbourne confirmed that her granddaughter Minnie is doing "OK" and no one else in the family has tested positive. As Page Six reported, she said that the tiny tot contracted the illness "from somebody who works for my son and it just goes to show you, she's three years of age, that children can get COVID-19."
