Rock couple Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne were forced to run for their lives when a fire ripped through their mansion in England.

The pair were relaxing upstairs after returning home from an exhausting tour in the US when the smoke alarm rang out warning them of the fire engulfing the wood panelling of their living room walls, reported the Internet Media Databse.

"I am beginning to wonder when this bad luck is ever going to stop," a stunned Sharon said.

"What else is going to happen to us? I was lying with Ozzy in his room, having a nice cuddle and watching TV. The fire alarm went off so we had a check but we couldn't see anything. We reset it and lay back down for another cuddle.

"Within minutes it had gone off again. We went into the living room and saw smoke coming from behind the wood panelling. We could see great big flames leaping up. We thought, '(Bleep),' and made a run for it. The room was destroyed. They think it was probably faulty electrics."
