May 30, 2004|Ruth Ryon, Times Staff Writer

Kelly Osbourne has sold her Hollywood Hills home for just under $1.5 million.

Osbourne, daughter of rock star Ozzy Osbourne and a costar with her family of MTV's reality series "The Osbournes," purchased the Spanish-style house, built in the 1920s, for close to $1.2 million a year ago in March. The actress-singer, 19, did some refurbishing before selling. She decided to continue living in the family's Beverly Hills home while doing the MTV show.

The house she sold has three bedrooms and five bathrooms in nearly 2,800 square feet. The master suite has a sitting room and a loft, 1 1/2 bathrooms, a fireplace and a patio. There are hardwood floors throughout the house; a living room with high, beamed ceilings and a fireplace; French doors leading to patios; and stainless-steel appliances in the kitchen.

Kelly Osbourne recently checked herself into a rehab clinic, for addiction to painkillers, after completing her role in the pilot for the new ABC series "Life as We Know It." "The Osbournes" is in its third season.

Joe Babajian and Kyle Grasso of Prudential John Aaroe, Beverly Hills, had the listing, and Mauricio Umansky of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills, represented the buyer.

Soon, a reunion for father and son

Phil McGraw, the daytime talk-show host who rose to prominence as a psychologist and author on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," has purchased a $2.4-million Hollywood Hills home for his son, Jay, who plans to move there from Texas in June after graduating from law school in Dallas. The 24-year-old hopes to follow in his father's footsteps as a TV host.

The younger McGraw's new home has three bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms, with city and canyon views. The 2,700-square-foot house, built in 2003, is a multilevel, architectural home with a butler's elevator and a patio with an infinity pool. The master bedroom has a fireplace, walk-in closet and spa tub.

Jay McGraw became an author at 19 with the bestselling "The Ultimate Weight Solution for Teens: The Seven Keys to Weight Freedom." He has appeared often on his father's TV show, "Dr. Phil."

Joe Babajian and Judy Cycon of Prudential John Aaroe, Beverly Hills, had the listing.
