Ozzy Osbourne 'Devastated' By Death of His Dog

It's a gloomy day for the Prince of Darkness: the U.K.'s Telegraph is reporting that Ozzy Osbourne's Pomeranian, Little Bit, was eaten by a coyote at his family's Los Angeles home on Tuesday. The rocker and wife Sharon were apparently watching the Michael Jackson tribute on television and couldn't hear their dog's yelps as he was attacked in the backyard, said the report.

Daughter Kelly Osbourne took to Twitter on Wednesday and wrote that her father is "devastated…she was his other women![sic]." The attack reportedly prompted authorities in the Los Angeles area to issue a warning about coyote attacks, saying, "Wild animals are opportunistic, and coyotes fit this mold very well."

Our condolences go out to the Osbournes in their time of loss.
