Ozzy Osbourne’s wife Sharon Osbourne has told Consequence that she and Ozzy are leaving America for the UK because “California is not what it once was.”
“When I first came here, I thought I was in heaven. In the ’70s, if you loved music, this was the place to be. It’s not that hub anymore. It’s not exciting anymore. It hasn’t gone sideways, it’s gone down. It’s not a fun place to live. It’s dangerous here. Every big city’s got crime, but I don’t feel safe here. Neither does Ozzy.”
Sharon told Fox News a couple months ago they hadn’t moved because “our house isn’t ready yet. We’ve had our family house for over 30 years but we haven’t lived in it so long,” she explained. “And you go back and you go, ‘Oh, it’s falling apart.’ And so we’re redoing it. And then we will move.”
She added, “[There are] many reasons. Yes, we don’t like the gun violence in Los Angeles. But there’s a lot more room for Ozzy. He can go fishing on our land, he can go shooting — he loves to shoot — and it’s just a different lifestyle. He can walk around, do his thing, nobody there looking at him. And he can have some privacy.”
Sharon said as well about guns: “I think because there are so many guns, and I think because people commit crimes and they don’t have to pay bail, and then suddenly — boom! — they’re back out on the streets again. And there seems to be no repercussions for bad behavior. And so, ‘Well, I might as well do it again. There’s no bail. Why not?’ Hopefully they do change the law with that.”
