Sharon and Kelly Osbourne mark 20th anniversary since The Osbourne's reality show debut

Sharon Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne have marked the 20th anniversary of the MTV show The Osbournes' debut.

The show documented the life of Black Sabbath member Ozzy Osbourne, now 73, with his family including his wife Sharon, 69, daughter Kelly, 37, and son Jack Osbourne, 36.

The reality series - which aired on Channel 4 in the UK - was first broadcast in the US on MTV two decades ago, with it having premiered on the network on March 5, 2002.

The anniversary was celebrated on social media by Sharon - who has been married to musician Ozzy since 1982 - earlier this week, with her reminding fans of the programme.

She shared a compilation of clips from the Osbournes with her 1.1 million followers on Instagram over the weekend and wrote a message to viewers alongside the footage.

Alongside the video, Sharon wrote in the caption: "20 years ago today ... we welcomed your family into our home. Thank you all for being the perfect house guests."

Youngest daughter Kelly instead opted to post photos from their time on the show, sharing them with her 2.4 million followers on the social media platform a few days ago.

She wrote in the caption of her post: "It was 20 years ago today that #theOsbournes first aired on @mtv. F*** I'm old! Where does the time go?" She included laughing emojis.

The Osbournes began airing on MTV in 2002. The antics of the family achieved much attention during its four seasons, with the popular reality series having concluded in 2005.

And although the show had been centred on the lives of the rock star's family, it however did not feature Ozzy and Sharon's eldest child, Aimee Osbourne, now 38.

Sharon was notably a judge on the X Factor in the UK between 2004 and 2017. She more recently co-hosted US chat show the Talk from 2010 until her departure last year.
