Ozzy Osbourne Suffers Singed Hair After Accidental Fire At Their L.A Home

The Godfather of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne reportedly suffered minor singes on his hair and hand in an accidental fire started by his wife.

Osbourne, who is the frontman and vocalist of heavy metal band, Black Sabbath, has slight burns on his hand and got his hair singed in the fire that was due to a candle left burning overnight by Osbourne's wife Sharon. The burning candle's glass case exploded spreading a small fire in their living room.

The couple tried dousing the fire with water leaving all the doors and windows open, which spread the fire more. Fire fighters from Beverly Hills were immediately called in and they got into action quickly stopping the fire from getting any bigger. But they had to listen to a huge lecture on fire safety at home.

Both received first-aid by medical staff and are fine. Sharon, speaking on her TV show said this about the fire incident, "Everybody is fine. There was only Ozzy, myself and the dogs in the house last night," The Sun reported.  

"At five o' clock, I heard a noise like metal had fallen. I thought it was my housekeeper coming in and she had dropped her keys on the tiles, that's what it sounded like, so I didn't pay any attention. A few minutes later, my eyes are stinging and my throat's closing up: 'Something's weird smelling in here'."

"Then my dog started to bark. I go downstairs and the whole living room was on fire. The candle had burst and the cracking sound was the glass and the candle exploding."

"My husband had an operation on his hand yesterday so he's in a complete cast. He comes down and goes: 'Oh, the fire, the fire!' and tries to put it out with his hand in the cast. Then he opens the French doors and I go into the kitchen and throw water on it and it erupted. Ozzy's front of his hair from his ear down is, gone! His eyebrows are gone... he's got like, skinned cheeks," she added.

"We are, like, two idiots, it was like The Three Stooges. Everything you are not meant to do, go to bed with candles alight, open the doors and put water on, we did it all."

"The firemen come up, they give us a lecture, and Ozzy's like: 'She's been doing this to me for 32 years! You tell her, you tell her, no more candles!'"

Sharon went ahead and apologised to her husband and thanked the Beverly Hills fire fighters. She also asked viewers to double check if the candles are put off.

Osbourne's band Black Sabbath will be releasing their new album "13" that will be out in June 2013.
