Sharon Osbourne says she and Ozzy’s credit cards were fraudulently maxed out

Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she and her husband's credit cards were fraudulently maxed out.

The former X Factor judge, 68, said she learned about the fraud when she went to buy a birthday present for her daughter Kelly, who turned 36 on Tuesday.

Speaking on The Talk on Tuesday, Sharon revealed that the credit card was declined and she later found out the same thing had happened on Ozzy Osbourne's card.

She said: "It's my Kelly's birthday today, I went out last night to pick up her gift.

"I give my credit card and they come back and say, 'Do you have another credit card? It didn't go through.'"

Sharon continued: "I say, 'Just try it again,' still didn't go through [so] I hand them Ozzy's.

"Then, they come back and say, 'Do you have another one? It didn't go through.' I'm like, 'What's going on?'"

She then contacted her credit card merchant to figure out what had happened.

"Someone rang up charges and maxed out Ozzy's card and my card," she said.

"I called through to the credit card company and they go, 'No, no, no, you're maxed out, so is Ozzy.'"

Sharon then realised something fishy had happened.

She went on: "I'm like, 'I don't go to that store, or to that store."

Her co-stars noted that "this wasn't a couple of hundred dollars on a blouse".
