Sharon Osbourne has revealed she suffered a complete breakdown last year and says her "brain just shut down".
The 63-year-old X Factor judge took a five-week emergency hiatus from co-hosting her U.S. daytime chat show The Talk in 2015 and has now admitted she was hospitalised for three days after a mental breakdown.
"I had a complete and utter breakdown," Osbourne revealed on the CBS show on Monday. "I woke up in Cedars-Sinai Hospital and for probably three days I knew nothing. I couldn't think, I couldn't talk, I could do nothing. My brain just shut down on me."
Osbourne said that she was trying to juggle too much from travelling the world, managing her husband Ozzy's Black Sabbath tour, as well as sponsorship work.
"I was doing too much of everything," she said. "My brain just totally fused and I just couldn't cope with anything. My family put me into a facility and in this facility, the diagnose you, there's therapists, psychiatrists and you do a lot of group therapy.
"And I found for me that the group therapy was the best thing that I could do because there were several people suffering with what I was suffering," Osbourne added.
She continued, "My head was like a whirlpool going round and round and round, and not one thought would stay in."
Osbourne stressed the importance of speaking out about mental illness and says she is now in control of her situation.
"If you have a bad leg, you tell everybody you have a bad leg," she continued. "I just have a bad head."
The revelation comes months after Sharon reportedly kicked Ozzy out of their Los Angeles mansion amid rumours of infidelity.
