Sharon was notably missing from the French metal festival Hellfest where the tribute to Ozzy was revealed, which stands at 20ft tall.
His widow Sharon told fans on social media: “I’m sorry I couldn’t be at Hellfest for the unveiling of Ozzy’s statue.
“Unfortunately I had an unexpected trip to the hospital earlier in the week.
“A big thank you Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud and everyone at Hellfest. Special thank you to @philippe_pasqua_officiel for the absolutely stunning statue!”

Black Sabbath singer Ozzy died aged 76 last July following a long battle with Parkinson’s.
Sharon recently put the LA mansion she shared with her late husband up for sale for $17m (£13m), and will be moving into an apartment.
The X Factor legend still has her Grade-II listed Georgian mansion in Buckinghamshire, where Ozzy is buried.
Ozzy’s final performance in Birmingham last summer completely sold out and raised millions.
But it was all donated to three charities: Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorns Children’s Hospice.
His other earnings have now gone to his family, who revealed this week that they are trying to buy back the Beverly Hills mansion where they shot their MTV reality show The Osbournes in the Noughties.
