Nobody is really quite sure yet. The existence of the Higgs boson is predicted by the Standard Model of quantum mechanics, but nobody has yet been able to experimentally detect one, so a lot of the details of it are still unknown.

The Standard Model does not predict what mass the Higgs boson would have, so it could be anything, really, though it's generally assumed that its mass is somewhere between 115 and 180 GeV/c2, because if it is that will make all the equations we have work properly for pretty much all cases. It is possible, however, that we'll find out that it isn't in this range (or we may not ever be able to find one at all), in which case people may have to make some changes to our current theories to account for why it's different than we expected.

probably in the cores of stars in which there is enough energy to excite the higgs field and produce a higgs boson.

Does higgs boson occupy any space?

The Higgs boson, is well, a boson. All bosons follow Bose-Einstein statistics and are therefore CAN occupy the same quantum state (as opposed to fermions, i.e. matter, which cannot.) So basically, no. The Higgs boson does not occupy any space.

Has the Higgs boson been found yet?

We are not sure if the theorized Higgs boson is real or not. If it is, it would be provide some support to ideas about what mass (and, therefore, gravity, which is associated mass) really is. We're still looking for experimental support that the Higgs boson is real, and now that the Large Hadron Collider is up and running, all (interested) eyes are on CERN and awaiting results.
