It is currently unknown how Osbourne contracted the virus.

"The Talk" is currently on a scheduled hiatus and not filming new episodes. At the time, it is unknown whether Inaba or Osbourne's return will be in person or virtual when the show resumes filming.

This wouldn't be the first time Osbourne had to film apart from her co-hosts. In September, her two granddaughters, Minnie and Andy, tested positive for COVID-19 and Osbourne was placed in mandatory quarantine.

When revealing Minnie's diagnosis on the talk show on Sept. 21, the "Revenge" author said at the time, "It just goes to show you, she's three years of age, that children can get COVID" and that they were able to trace the infection to "somebody who works for my son."
