Sharon Osbourne supports Hasselhoff

Sharon Osbourne has shown her support for her America's Got Talent co-star David Hasselhoff, after he was hospitalised following an alcohol relapse on Tuesday.

The former Baywatch star, who has had a well-documented problem with alcoholism, checked himself into a Los Angeles facility when he suffered from alcohol poisoning and realised he still had a problem.

Osbourne offered a message of support to Hasselhoff, saying: "David, I am very proud of you for taking the first step and to have you as my friend."
