Osbournes’ jewelry is stolen

Heavy metal rocker turned reality TV star Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon, spoke Tuesday of their distress after a burglar stole valuable jewelry from their English country mansion.

The thief, who was unsuccessfully tackled by Ozzy as he raided the house early Monday morning, made off with items including wedding rings, gem-encrusted watches, necklaces and a rare 24-carat sapphire, the couple and police said.

“I’m sure a lot of people will look at us and say, ‘Well, they have got more, they can buy it again, there’s more serious things happening in the world,’ ” Sharon Osbourne told a news conference at a hotel near the couple’s home in Buckinghamshire, west of London. “But the thing is, we worked for everything,” she said.
