Osbourne joked about the 47-year-old singer's dowdy appearance this month in an interview on Sirius XM Radio, then apologized for her remarks in a Twitter posting, the BBC said.
"Susan Boyle is a lovely gracious woman and I took advantage of that by poking fun at her," Osbourne said.
"I would never want to be responsible for hurting Susan and I must apologize for getting a cheap laugh at her expense."
