Where There's Smoke, There's Osbournes

Flames that scorched Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's English country mansion were the result of a faulty lamp, the fire service said.

Neither the couple nor their children, Amy, Jack and Kelly, were at the house in Jordans, 26 miles west of London, when the fire broke out Thursday morning, a family spokesman said. Paramedics treated a member of the household staff for smoke inhalation.

Kelly Osbourne, 22, had left shortly before the blaze started.

"We were able to prevent the fire from spreading," said Fraser Pearson, a spokesman for the Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue service. "It was relatively small."

The blaze, which caused minor fire and smoke damage to the entrance hallway of the mansion, was the latest in several domestic mishaps to befall Ozzy Osbourne, who earned fame as a heavy metal rocker in the 1970s, and his wife in recent years.

The couple had to flee their home last year when a fire broke out in the living room. In 2004, Ozzy Osbourne unsuccessfully tackled a thief as he raided the house and stole a large amount of jewelry, and in 2003 he broke his collarbone, several ribs and a neck vertebra in an all-terrain vehicle accident on the grounds of the estate.
