Sharon Osbourne revealed she has tested positive for Covid-19.
The 68-year-old reality show legend said she had been briefly hospitalized by the deadly virus but is now recovering.
Sharon – who is married to 72-year-old rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, who has been battling health issues this year – said she is isolating away from her husband.
Taking to Twitter on Monday evening, the former X Factor judge gave an update on her health and asked fans to stay safe.
She tweeted: “I wanted to share I’ve tested positive for Covid 19.
“After a brief hospitalization, I’m now recuperating at a location away from Ozzy (who has tested negative) while “The Talk” is on scheduled hiatus.”
Sharon added: “Everyone please stay safe and healthy.”
Ozzy has tested negative for the virus, Osbourne, a host on US chat show The Talk, said.
Sharon’s update was met with messages of support from her followers.
The crew of her talk show, The Talk, were among those wishing her a fast return to health.
The official Twitter feed of the show replied: “Wishing you a speedy recovery, Mrs. O, we love you.”
Back in January, husband Ozzy revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease a year previously.
His health announcement came almost a year after he had been hospitalised with a “severe upper-respiratory infection” which doctors feared could have develop into pneumonia.
Sharon is one of many A List stars who have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
Earlier this year, Hollywood actor Tom Hanks announced he and his wife had tested positive for the virus while in Australia – where they were treated.
While British actor Idris Elba was among one of the first famous faces to learn he had tested positive for the virus.
