Kelly Osbourne
- Profession: Singer
- Place/Date of Birth: London, 27 October 2020
- Associated with: Jack Osbourne, Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon Osbourne
Luckily, Ozzy had recently fitted the house with a state-of-the-art £2,000 fire alarm, which automatically alerted the emergency services. A Buckinghamshire Fire Service spokesman said: "The blaze was caught in the nick of time. "If we hadn’t been alerted so quickly it could have been a lot worse." Kelly was woken by firemen and escaped unhurt, however, a female employee was treated for smoke inhalation.
The fire follows a series of unlucky incidents at the property. In 2003, Ozzy spent eight days in a coma after a near-fatal quad biking accident in the grounds of the mansion, while the following year the rocker tackled a cat burglar, before the thief escaped with close to £2 million of jewellery. In March 2005, a fire broke out in the living room of the manor as the family slept. A friend of Ozzy’s said: "He thinks the place is bloody cursed. He is wondering if a plague of locusts will be next."
Kelly checked herself into rehab - May 17, 2020
Kelly Osbourne checked herself into rehab after threatening to break a fan’s finger. At the height of her addiction to "downers" - including Valium and Vicodin - the singer admits she suffered from dangerous mood swings. Kelly eventually realised she needed help after scaring herself with her own rage.
She told the Glamour magazine: "This girl came up to me and shouted, ’That’s Kelly Osbourne!’ and pointed a finger in my face - literally her fake nail touched my nose and I just flipped. "I grabbed her hand and said, ’Don’t f**k with me, or I’m going to break your f**king finger off." The 21-year-old star is not the first Osbourne to suffer from addiction. Her famous father, Ozzy, is notorious for his drug-fuelled antics, while brother Jack - a recovering alcoholic - was the first of the siblings to be admitted to rehab.
Kelly dumped by boyfriend David Williams - Dec 8, 2020
Kelly Osbourne is said to be devastated after being dumped by boyfriend David Williams. The star - who shot to fame on hit reality TV show ’The Osbournes’ with parents Sharon and Ozzy and brother Jack - reportedly jetted to Los Angeles after the Son of Dork guitarist ditched her on Wednesday (07.12.05). The musician is said to have decided he wasn’t ready for a relationship with the 21-year-old, after dating for a few weeks.
A source is quoted in the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "She’s very upset as she thought she’d found someone she really liked. David even had dinner with Sharon and Ozzy the other weekend. "When David said he wasn’t ready for a relationship, she was gutted, as everything had been going so well."
Last month, Kelly revealed she is ready to retire despite being just 21. The outspoken star admits she is sick of working and has quit singing after just one album. She said: "I don’t intend to do anything. I’ve been working since I was 15 - what do I want to work for?"

The series led to Kelly releasing an album in 2002, aged just eighteen. Shut Up failed to spark much interest despite a well played cover of Papa Don’t Preach debuting at number 1 in the American charts. Later in the same year a duet with Ozzy, Changes, became both father and daughter’s first UK number one.
Meanwhile Kelly broke in to television presenting, hosting MTV’s award ceremonies and taking a guest slot on Top of the Pops. She also took a part on teen soap Life As We Know It, first aired in 2004. However, it was at this time that Kelly checked in to rehab with an addiction to painkillers, her problems echoing those of Ozzy and Jack, both of whom have battled with drink and drug addictions.
Not one to stay down for long Kelly was soon working again, her second album, Sleeping in the Nothing, may have failed to win over listeners, selling just 9,000 copies but single One Word was a dance hit. Kelly launched her own fashion line, Stiletto Killers, with friend Ali Barone in 2004 whilst also continuing with her presenting career. She has fronted I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’s digital spin-off show and has replaced Liz Hurley as the presenter of Project Catwalk.
Following several ill advised matches, including her highly publicised relationship with Bert McCracken, Kelly and boyfriend Matty Derham of Fields reportedly took part in a marriage at a music festival in Ireland. Despite the fact that the marriage was not legally binding the couple were later spotted buying gold bands together.
