Ozzy Osbourne's House: Where the Osbournes Lived in Los Angeles and England

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, at 76, at the family home in Buckinghamshire, northwest of London. For more than 30 years he and Sharon split their lives between that house and Los Angeles, and the Los Angeles half moved around: a Beverly Hills house the whole world saw on MTV, a Cape Cod-style place in Hidden Hills, a rented house back in Beverly Hills, and finally a 1930 house in Hancock Park that Sharon put back up for sale in April 2026.

When we first wrote this page in February 2020, we labeled the Hancock Park house their former home when they still owned it, and in one paragraph sent the MTV house to Jessica Simpson, who bought a different Osbourne house entirely. This version follows the county roll and the reporting instead.

The Hancock Park house is the one still in the family, and it is where most people who ask where Ozzy Osbourne lived end up. Its parcel, its map pin, and the property records sit on Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's Hancock Park home profile, which is also where the address lives.

Hancock Park: one house, three descriptions

The Osbournes bought the house in 2015 from the Saw producer Oren Koules and Shereen Arazm, a former Top Chef Canada judge, who had restored and upgraded it before the sale, according to Robb Report. Louder Sound also dates the purchase from Koules to 2015. No one put it on the open market first.

How old is it, and what does it look like? That depends on who you ask. The Los Angeles County Assessor's roll dates the finished house to 1930. The Hollywood Reporter says it was designed in 1929 by the architect A.K. Kellogg. Wallpaper* calls it a Tudor-style mansion. Robb Report describes creamy stucco under a terracotta roof, which is closer to the Spanish and Mediterranean revival houses of 1920s Los Angeles than to anything half-timbered. A 1929 design finished in 1930 would square the two dates. The style is harder to square, and the photographs in those pieces are the best way to make up your own mind.

Some of the house's past is written on it. Decades before the Osbournes, it belonged to the radio host Frank Bresee and his wife, Bobbie, and the fireplace in the screening room still carries signatures from their guests. The Real Deal names Elvis Presley, Natalie Wood, and Mel Tormé among them, and The Hollywood Reporter adds Rita Moreno.

The neighborhood around it was planned down to the lawns. Allan Hancock carved his family's share of the old Rancho La Brea into house lots in the 1920s and insisted on deep front lawns, with houses set 50 feet back from the street and driveways running down the side to garages at the rear. In 2008 the city made Hancock Park a Historic Preservation Overlay Zone, which in plain terms means an owner who wants to change what the street sees has to get the design reviewed first. That is why the agent selling the house in 2026 told Louder Sound that walking the neighborhood feels “as if you're in the 1920s.”

The move to England that did not happen, then did

In March 2022 Ozzy told the Mirror they were done with California. “We are leaving L.A. We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much,” he said, as Consequence reported, adding that he would build a barn at the English house and move his recording studio into it. The Hancock Park house went up for sale that year at $18M, dropped to $17.5M, and then came off the market when the move was put on hold, according to Louder Sound and The Hollywood Reporter. The couple kept it through the years of his Parkinson's disease, The Hollywood Reporter noted.

Eight months after his death, in April 2026, Sharon offered it again, at $17M. By mid-August it had not sold. The Blast, as carried by Yahoo, reported that it was also being offered for rent and that the monthly rent had come down from $65,000 to $55,000. As of that report, the house is still Sharon's.

The MTV house in Beverly Hills

The house the world knows from The Osbournes was not built for a rock star. Herbalife founder Mark Hughes built it, according to a 2011 Travel + Leisure feature republished by NBC News, and Los Angeles County dates it to 1988.

Ozzy and Sharon purchased it in 1999 but did not move in until 2002. Hello magazine dates the move-in to March of that year, and MTV filmed the family inside it for the show's run from 2002 to 2005. They stayed until 2007, when they sold it to Christina Aguilera and her then-husband, Jordan Bratman, according to E Online. That is why our page for this house carries Aguilera's name: see Christina Aguilera's former Beverly Hills home. She sold it in 2013, after two years on the market.

The family has not let go of it. Kelly Osbourne told Hello in March 2026 that they have asked about 10 times to buy the house back, and that the people who own it keep saying no.

Hidden Hills, 2007 to 2013

The same year they sold the MTV house, the Osbournes paid nearly $12.4M for a Cape Cod-inspired house built in 2001 in Hidden Hills, the gated horse-country city on the far western edge of Los Angeles County, according to the Los Angeles Times's Hot Property column as syndicated by RISMedia.

What they did next is the best-documented renovation in this story. Before the decorating started they cut the house down from seven sleeping rooms to three, to make room for dressing rooms, offices, and a recording studio. Then they handed the interiors to the designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, who plastered the central atrium black and painted the studio lipstick red. Architectural Digest ran the result in June 2011, a retrospective on Yahoo recalls. Less than two years later, in April 2013, they sold the house to Jessica Simpson for less than they had paid, per the same Hot Property report. It is still hers: Jessica Simpson's Hidden Hills home.

The Beverly Hills rental, 2012 to 2016

This one they never owned. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2016, as summarized by Blabbermouth and TODAY, that the Osbournes had spent the previous four years renting a Georgian traditional house in Beverly Hills, at a rent the paper put as high as $50,000 a month. They moved out in 2016, and the owners put the house up for sale that October.

The house is older than its tenants' fame and has a better architect than most. The Times credited it to Paul R. Williams, who designed it in 1955, and the county roll gives the same year. Williams became the first Black member of the American Institute of Architects in 1923, according to The Cultural Landscape Foundation, and his name is on the Beverly Hills Hotel a short walk away.

The landlord sold the property in 2025, nine years after the Osbournes left; the Los Angeles County roll records the change of ownership with a 2025 base year. Our page for it is Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's former Beverly Hills rental.

Buckinghamshire: the house in England

The English house is the oldest of the five by far, and the one with the longest paper trail. The architect Mervyn Macartney built it in 1898 to 1899 for his father-in-law, C. T. Ritchie, who went on to serve as Home Secretary and then Chancellor of the Exchequer, according to its entry on Historic England's National Heritage List. The list has carried it at Grade II since 1984. Grade II is England's standard tier of protection for buildings of special interest, and it means an owner needs permission to alter one, inside or out. The house sits in the parish of Chalfont St Giles, beside the Quaker village of Jordans. See Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's former Buckinghamshire home.

When the Osbournes arrived is less certain. Heart and NME, both relaying British tabloid reports, date the purchase to 1993. The earliest public record we found is from 1999, when Sharon Osbourne gave the house as her correspondence address on being appointed a company director, according to Companies House.

The house has not had a quiet life. In November 2004 burglars climbed a ladder to a first-floor window, and a man in the house grabbed one of them before he wrestled free and jumped, ABC News reported at the time; NME later put the jewellery taken at £1M. In March 2005 the couple fled a fire that began in the living room, and CBS News reported three people treated for minor smoke inhalation and a suspected electrical fault. Then came the floods of early 2014. “The rain has battered down the walls and seeped through everything,” Ozzy told the Mirror, as NME reported that March. He put the repairs at £300,000 and said the house would need nine months to dry out before work could start. “The place is ruined.”

It is also where the story ends. Ozzy died at the family home near Chalfont St Giles on July 22, 2025, Billboard reported, citing his death certificate. He was buried in the grounds, beside the lake, on July 31, 2025, according to Fox News, citing the Daily Mail.

It is a private home behind gates and trees, and nothing about it is open to visitors.
