Floods 'ruin' Osbourne's English mansion

The English home of Ozzy Osbourne has been so badly affected by recent floods that "it's going to take nine months to dry out", the rocker says.

Ozzy Osbourne's mansion in Buckinghamshire has been severely damaged by flooding and will cost more than STG30,000 ($A55,591.59) to repair.

Many regions were deluged when torrential downpours hit Britain. this year in the wettest winter since records began in 1910, and Buckinghamshire was one of the worst affected areas.

Osbourne and his wife Sharon are based in Los Angeles but the water damage means they will not be able to live in their STG5 million ($A9.27 million) English home for months.

The Black Sabbath frontman told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's been completely flooded. The rain has battered down the walls and seeped through everything. There is water everywhere.

"We've been told it's going to cost STG30,000 to repair but we can't go about getting it fixed because it's going to take nine months to dry out. The place is ruined."
