Ozzy Osbourne's Malibu mansion lost in wild fires
The former home of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne in Malibu "burned down" during the California wildfires last year.
Ozzy Osbourne's former home in Malibu "burned down" during the devastating wildfires which ripped across California last year.
The Black Sabbath star used to own a beach front property in the coastal resort, but sold it for just under $8 million in 2012 before the rocker decided to move back to the UK with his wife Sharon shortly before his death in July 2025 - and his son Jack Osbourne has now revealed the house was lost in the disaster.
During an appearance on Jamie Kennedy’s Hate to Break It to Ya podcast, Jack said: "He had a Malibu house ... Which is now ... which burned down ...
"Yeah they did [get out at the right time]. Well no, they sold too early.
"They should have sold like, right before the fires, they they would have been [fine]. They sold it ... 13 years ago. The year my eldest daughter was born ..."
Host Jamie asked if they sold the house because they just didn't use it enough and Jack said: "But the irony is they sold it the year my daughter was born and then we started 'cos we had a baby it's like what do you do? Let's go to the beach. We went to the beach so much since having kids."
It comes after Jack admitted he learned from Ozzy Osbourne's "mistakes" as there were times when the late Black Sabbath star "wasn't the greatest parent".
The 40-year-old TV star opened up about his relationship with his father and revealed he didn't always have the strongest bond with the rocker because of his long-running addiction issues but he's determined to use the good and the bad to make him a better dad to his own children.
During an appearance on the Leave No Doubt Fatherhood podcast, Jack - who is dad to four daughters - explained: "There were times when [Ozzy] wasn't the greatest parent.
"He came from a time where fathers didn't really parent back then. They went to work, they did the deal. And when we were kids, there'd be arguments, and as a teenager, you'd fight with your dad kind of s***.
"And I remember one time he looked at me, he was, like: 'What have you got to complain about? You've never wanted for anything. You've got [everything]'. "And I was, like: 'I want a dad. I want a relationship with you.' "'Cos he had his own struggles, he had his own addiction issues that he struggled with for most of his life. And that is a huge wedge in any parental kind of arena."
However, Jack was adamant the struggles he went through with his dad Ozzy and mom Sharon can help him as he raises his own kids, Pearl, Andy, and Minnie with his ex-wife Lisa Stelly, and Maple with his current wife, Aree Gearhart.
He added: "I think so much of parenting is you learn from your parents' mistakes ultimately, and you pick and choose: 'Hey, I liked that my parents did that,' 'I didn't like that my parents did that.'
"And that's okay, 'cause our parents did the same s***. And my dad didn't raise me at all like his dad raised him.
"And same with my mother - she very much was very different from her parents. And that's kind of, whether people realize it or not, I think that's the gift we give our kids.
"If they're aware enough, we give 'em that playbook to operate from when they're ready to be parents."
