Burglar escapes from Ozzy Osbourne's home

A burglar escaped from Ozzy Osbourne's Buckinghamshire home with an estimated £2 million of jewellery after a struggle with the rocker, who told the Sun he had considered harming him.

A burglar has escaped from Ozzy Osbourne's UK home with an estimated £2 million of jewellery, despite the rocker's attempts to stop him. Ozzy discovered the burglar in his Buckinghamshire home in the early hours of the morning when he got up to go to the toilet. Ozzy told the Sun that when he discovered the burglar he jumped on him and got him in a headlock - "He was a big, strong man - but at one point I thought I could kill him to stop him hurting Sharon. But then I just let him drop. It was terrifying, I was looking to see if he had a knife. I can't get his staring eyes out of my mind."Having escaped Ozzy's hold, the burglar jumped out of a first floor window.

Local Police have described the intruder as well-built, about 5' 10" tall and said he was wearing a ski-mask, a light-coloured jacket and trainers. They reckon he probably injured himself when he leapt out of the first floor window.

A spokesman for Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, who are staying in the UK while Sharon works on the X Factor show, told reporters: "Ozzy and Sharon were in the house. They were woken up by the incident eventually. My understanding is that the intruder was discovered in the dressing room, in Sharon's dressing room."
