Sharon Osbourne experienced a health scare over the weekend that resulted in her being rushed to the hospital.

TMZ first reported the manager/media personality “fell ill” while filming a TV show in California. The specifics of Osbourne’s health scare weren’t detailed but were described by the tabloid as “a terrifying medical emergency.”

Sharon’s son, Jack, shared an update about his mom via his Instagram Stories, which were screenshot by Blabbermouth. Jack said the incident took place while he and his mom were filming an episode of his Travel Channel series Night of Terror. His statement also included the following:

“She has been given the all clear from her medical team and is now home. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support. As to what happened to my mum — I’m gonna leave it to her to share about when she is ready.”

Jack went on to share a screenshot of a text conversation between him and a producer for TMZ named Jamie Schram via Instagram Stories. The producer directly texted Jack to confirm a report about his mother fainting on the set of Night of Terror. Jack was none too pleased about TMZ directly contacting him and told the producer, “Try and contact me directly ever again and you’ll be the one ‘fainting’ you desperate little c—. Feel free to quote that you s— stick.” He would caption the screenshot with, “Nothing better than being woken up like this after being with your mother in hospital all night. TMZ at its finest once again. Did I come off too harsh? Hahaha.”
