Rock star Ozzy Osbourne wrestled burglars
Ozzy Osbourne fights ₤1 million jewellery thieves
Nov 23 — Rock star Ozzy Osbourne wrestled burglars after the rock star and wife Sharon Osbourne were awoken by the robbery at their mansion in England.
Ozzy Osbourne’s unexpected guests just before dawn on Monday were two burglars who used a ladder to enter the veteran rocker's Buckinghamshire home and after a scuffle between Ozzy, the former Black Sabbath frontman, and one of the burglars, made off with a large amount of jewellery worth around ₤1 million.
The Sun reported: “Ozzy had one of the burglars in a headlock but the burglar broke free and jumped out of a first-floor window.”
"He was a big, strong man - but at one point I thought I could kill him to stop him hurting Sharon. But then I just let him drop,"
"It was terrifying. I was looking to see if he had a knife. I can't get his staring eyes out of my mind" said Ozzy.
The burglars reportedly made off with $1.8 million worth in jewellery, including two gold wedding rings and a 24-carat sapphire ring.
Ozzy Osbourne, 55, has enjoyed renewed celebrity in Britain and the US through the MTV reality show based around his family life in Los Angeles.
He had expressed fears he might not perform on stage again after he was badly injured in a quad bike accident on his Buckinghamshire estate in December 2003.
Wife Sharon is currently enjoying success as judge on the X-Factor talent show alongside Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell.
