Ozzy Osbourne Sells Los Angeles Mansion For $18 Million
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has sold his longtime Los Angeles mansion for $18 million, according to property records filed Friday. The sale marks the end of an era for the Black Sabbath frontman, who owned the Benedict Canyon estate for over 30 years.
The 9,500-square-foot home, built in 1955, features six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, and a recording studio where Osbourne worked on multiple albums. The buyer remains undisclosed, but records show the deal closed this week after the property was listed in February for $19.5 million.
The sale is trending nationally as fans speculate about Osbourne's future plans. The 77-year-old musician has faced health challenges in recent years, including Parkinson's disease, leading many to believe he may be downsizing permanently. His wife Sharon Osbourne confirmed last year they were considering leaving California.
The Mediterranean-style estate sits on 1.2 acres in one of LA's most exclusive neighborhoods. It includes a pool, guest house, and panoramic city views. Celebrity realtor Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency handled the listing.
Osbourne purchased the home in 1991 for $3.7 million. The sale comes just months after he canceled his 2023 tour dates, citing ongoing health issues. Fans have flooded social media with memories of the home, which appeared in episodes of the Osbournes' reality TV show.
Property experts note the sale reflects LA's cooling luxury market, where high-end home prices have dipped 12% since 2022. The Osbourne residence sold below its original asking price but still netted a significant profit for the rock icon.
No official statement has been released about the Osbourne family's next move. Public records show they still own properties in England and Buckinghamshire. The LA sale completes their exit from California's celebrity real estate scene after decades as fixtures in the Hollywood Hills.
