Yesterday morning about 5:00 A.M., a fire broke out at the Osbourne Beverly Hills home.  It started because Sharon fell asleep with a CANDLE still burning.

Luckily, firefighters showed up before things got out of hand.  But Ozzy did suffer some minor injuries.  Sharon described those injuries yesterday on "The Talk".

She said, quote, "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.  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."

She added, quote, "I apologize to my husband because he put himself out.  He made his hand worse, it started to bleed, the whole nine yards, and I’m sorry and I love you and I will never light a candle again."

If it somehow matters to you, the candle was a gift from HOWARD STERN.
