Celebrity Real Estate: Jessica Simpson and Retired NFL Star Eric Johnson Purchase Hidden Hills Home from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne

According to US Weekly magazine, Jessica Simpson and retired NFL star Eric Johnson have purchased the Hidden Hills home that was previously owned by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne for 11,500,000 on March 12, 2013 which is $888,500 less than the original purchase price of $12,388,500 back on August 3, 2007 by the Osbournes.  

The Osbourne's originally listed the home for $12,999,000 back on June 30, 2011 which translated into a massive $1,499,000 reduction to the sold price. This home sold in over two years time which at one point included a lease option. To further confirm said purchase, the name listed on the property records is Jessica Simpson's business manager, David Levin. Additionally, this home is already being remodeled by Simpson who is converting the walk-in closet into a nursery for Simpson's second child. Also, there is rumor that the home may be the location of her wedding to retired NFL star Eric Johnson.
