Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne spent final days with family in England home: report
Ozzy Osbourne's final days in England are being shared. The Prince of Darkness died Tuesday, July 22, after battling a number of health issues over the years. He was 76. The Black Sabbath singer was at "peace" before his death, and was "surrounded by family" before he passed, according to People magazine. "[Sharon's] deepest hope was fulfilled, and this is her focus now," a source told the outlet. "Ozzy's final days were spent in England, surrounded by family, music and in the place he called home. He was in peace," the source added. Two weeks before his death, Ozzy reunited with Black Sabbath to perform at a star-studded farewell show in England, an appropriately dark and electric send-off for one of rock's greatest legends. During his final show on July 5 at Villa Park, Osbourne expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support as the band, including Tony Iommi, Terence "Geezer" Butler and Bill Ward, performed together for the first time in 20 years. For the closing set, the legendary rock star was lifted to the stage while sitting on a black throne accompanied by skulls and topped with a black bat. He sang hits like "Crazy Train" and "Mama I'm Coming Home" while remaining seated during the entire set. "You have no idea how I feel," Osbourne told the crowd. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart." An insider told the outlet, "That show meant everything. It brought his career full circle." Ozzy's sisters, Jean Powell and Gillian Hemming, recalled the last time they saw their brother was before his final concert. "He was frail, but it still came as a shock," Powell told The Mirror about her brother's death. She wasn't aware of the "details of his death," but was very "thankful he died in England." She noted that her last conversation with her brother was ahead of his Black Sabbath farewell performance. "I got a text from him as he drove down Lodge Road, where we used to live near the stadium," Powell said. "He said he couldn't believe all the crowds were walking down our old street to watch him perform." Powell added, "It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes." The 10-hour show was hosted by Jason Momoa and featured performances from Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Jack Black, Steven Tyler and others. At one point during the show, which was livestreamed in the U.K., legendary drummers, including Tool's Danny Carey, Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith and Blink-182's Travis Barker, battled with their drumsticks while playing a cover of Sabbath's "Symptom of the Universe." After his death, the Osbournes released a statement to Fox News Digital. "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time." Osbourne is survived by wife Sharon, daughters Kelly and Aimee and son Jack, in addition to daughter Jessica and sons Elliot and Louis from his first marriage to Thelma Riley.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi List Their English Countryside Estate for $30 Million
Looks like Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are picking up right where they left off in the U.S.—only now, they're flipping multimillion-dollar estates in the Cotswolds instead of Montecito. Just months after snapping up a dreamy 43-acre estate in England's celeb-loved countryside, the couple is putting it back on the market for a cool $30 million with Andrew Barnes of United Kingdom Sotheby's International Realty. That's right: they bought it, overhauled it, lived in it for about a month, and now they're moving on. The rural property, tucked down a long private driveway and known as Kitesbridge Farm, blends 18th-century charm with sleek, modern updates. Think rustic stone walls and soaring ceilings alongside sculptural forms and tons of natural light, all wrapped around a central courtyard.

There's also a giant eat-in kitchen, a handful of grand yet cozy sitting rooms, and a separate guest cottage for friends, staff, or whoever's lucky enough to get an invite. Atop the five-car heated garage, a massive room has been converted into a casual entertainment space complete with its own bar. There's also an indoor pool, a full gym, a kitchen garden, and even a helicopter shed among the pastoral, naturalistic landscape. The former talk show host and her actress wife bought the estate last June for about $20 million, reportedly paying more than $3 million above the asking price. Skilled and serial renovators, they wasted no time making it their own—bringing in 70 workers and finishing a soup-to-nuts renovation in just 10 weeks, The Wall Street Journal reported. Why sell so soon after such a rapid and Herculean effort? According to DeGeneres, it all came down to horses. The couple decided to relocate to the U.K. after the 2024 election and quickly realized their four-legged family members needed more space than Kitesbridge Farm. 'When we decided to live here full time, we knew that Portia couldn't live without her horses,' DeGeneres told the newspaper. 'We needed a home that had a horse facility and pastures for them.'

Their new place—just 30 minutes away—is a sprawling, ultramodern compound in Oxfordshire, with Japanese-inspired landscaping and all the space their herd could want. It's a major departure from the cozy English farmhouse vibe of Kitesbridge, but it checks all their boxes. DeGeneres recently spilled the beans at a speaking event in Cheltenham with the British broadcaster Richard Bacon, telling the crowd: 'We decided we needed a different house, and now we're selling that house.
