Poor Kelly's family...
LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Burglars broke into the English country home of rocker and reality TV star Ozzy Osbourne Monday and stole a large amount of jewelry, police said.
They used a ladder to climb through a first floor window at the Osbournes' mansion at Chalfont St Peter in Buckinghamshire, just north of London, police said.
"The disturbance woke the residents and a man grabbed one of the burglars," a police spokeswoman said, without saying if the man in question was Ozzy. "The offender eventually managed to struggle free and then jumped out of the window and made off."
Ozzy and his wife Sharon, two of Britain's best loved reality TV stars, are living at the mansion. Their children were not in the house at the time.
Osbourne, 55, first shot to fame in the 1970s as frontman of ground-breaking heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
He has since mellowed from wild man of heavy rock to comical much-loved star of MTV's popular reality show "The Osbournes," which offers a peek into his life at home with his family.
Frequently in the news in Britain, he injured himself badly in a quad bike crash a year ago. He fractured eight ribs and a vertebra in the accident and spent several days on a ventilator.
