Osbournes drive out neighbours

The Osbournes have been branded the "family from hell" after they drove their neighbours out of their home.

Charles and Krissy Lewis said their celebrity neighbours had made their once-peaceful lives a nightmare and after months of feuding decided to sell their 5millionGBP Californian mansion.

In the hit TV show 'The Osbournes', son Jack was seen spraying the Lewis' tennis court pink with a paintball gun and playing drums in the garden.

Sharon threw a leg of ham into the neighbours' hedge, Ozzy hurled firewood through their greenhouse while daughter Kelly littered their garden with French bread, pate and stink bombs.

When the police were called the Osbournes said they were retaliating against next door's noise.

Multimillionaire Charles Lewis revealed: "Krissy and I have lived here for a long time. We never had a single complaint before the Osbournes arrived. Soon after they moved in, the gardener was clearing up with a leaf blower. Sharon started swearing at him from across the fence about the noise."

The Lewis' then sent a letter to the troublemaking family begging them to call a truce. They heard nothing from the Osbournes until they were singing with a friend in the garden and they were bombarded with missiles.

Charles added: "They have been very rude. I don't care who they are, they can't treat us like this."

But Sharon retorted: "I want to hold him down and s**t on his head. They make me behave in a way that I don't like."

However, their new neighbour is said to be Sharon's fellow 'X Factor' judge and enemy Simon Cowelland now the Osbournes are said to be packing their bags.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Sharon just wants to sell up and move out to save having to chat to him over the garden fence.

"I don't think they'll go round with a house-warming gift - she can't stand him."
