Sharon Osbourne auctions her possessions

The Osbournes sell their stuff for charity.

Tuesday, 9 October 2007

Sharon Osbourne and rocker-husband Ozzy are to sell the contents of their 3 homes and will be donating some of the money raised to charity.

The couple, who have property in Malibu, Beverly Hills and England, are holding a two-day sale in Los Angeles on 30 November to auction off furniture, art and memorabilia.

Many of the items for sale were featured in MTV reality show The Osbournes – including Jack Osbourne’s black leather bedroom furniture – and have played an important part in family life.

‘Both Ozzy and I have very special memories of each and every item as it came into our home and became part of our lives,’ Sharon, 54, says on her official website.

‘It is like giving up a part of us and we hope each and every item finds a very special home.’

Despite Sharon’s enthusiasm, it’s clear that husband Ozzy will find it a little harder to let things go.

‘I don't know why we are selling everything as I want it all,’ the 58-year-old insists.

‘Ozzy gets very attached to things,’ Sharon explains. ‘He doesn't like change at all.’

A share of the money raised from the auction will go towards the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation.
