Sharon's big sell-off

Sharon Osbourne with the quad bike on which Ozzy Osbourne nearly died.

SHARON Osbourne is downsizing by auctioning off more than 600 of her possessions.

Highlights include the quad bike which left Birmingham legend Ozzy seriously injured in a 2003 accident, and a pair of the Black Sabbath singer's wire-rim sunglasses (£385).

Jewellery, memorabilia, costumes, paintings, furniture and decorative works of art are also all going under the hammer in the two-day sale.

The Osbournes cleared out their Gothic-style mansion in Beverly Hills, their Malibu home and their Buckinghamshire mansion for the sale.

A portion of the proceeds, expected to top £1 million, will go to the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation.

A seated gilded Buddha, estimated to fetch £4,800 and seen in the Osbournes' back yard during their MTV show, is one of 400 lots of furnishings, fine and decorative arts on sale.

The two-day auction takes place on November 30 and December 1 at the Gibson Guitar Showroom in Beverly Hills.
