Washington, Nov 19 (ANI): Sharon Osbourne has finally learnt how to send messages via her cell phone.

The rock matriarch discovered the art of texting after her daughter Kelly insisted she learn so they could keep in touch.

Sharon shares a close bond her singer daughter and they speak to each other several times a day.

However, with Kelly currently participating on U.S. reality show 'Dancing With The Stars' and Sharon working in London, they're finding it hard to talk on a regular basis - so the Osbourne mum has finally learnt how to text.

I speak to my mum about 20 times a day. I find any excuse to call her as I just like talking to her, Contactmusic quoted Kelly as telling Britain's Cosmopolitan magazine.

She's in London right now and, because of the time difference, I speak to her less. I keep waking her up, which makes me feel guilty. She's recently discovered the art of texting, which makes life easier. I trust my mum's word over anyone else's. We're very close, she added. (ANI)
