My thoughts are with you, I am sorry for your loss. Minnie was a true DIVA and she will be missed by your fans as well.
Much love and thoughts,

MINNIE OSBOURNE
Sharon's longtime friend and confidant, Minnie, has very unfortunately passed away. Sharon's friend and co-judge on America's Got Talent, Piers Morgan, shares this:

For the last two years the bane of my life has been Sharon Osbourne's small, white Pomeranian dog, Minnie. Every time I went near this ferocious creature, it would go berserk -- snarling, growling and attempting to bite me. A behavioral pattern, in fact, rather similar to its owner. (Though Sharon assured me it wasn't personal -- Minnie sank her fangs into half of Hollywood, including Patrick Swayze and The Hoff). Minnie died this week, after a long illness. And I found myself feeling unexpectedly sad. 'I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but I'll actually miss her,' I told a heartbroken Sharon on the phone tonight, 'she was a real character.' I don’t normally 'do' dogs, but this was no ordinary dog.

Minnie, I salute you.
