Anyone who watched the MTV reality series The Osbournes knows Kelly Osbourne wasn't raised in a typical home. That's the way it is when your father is the co-founder of the legendary metal band Black Sabbath and the "Prince of Darkness," Ozzy Osbourne.

In a new documentary titled If These Walls Could Rock, Osbourne talks about some of her exploits at the legendary West Hollywood hotel, the Sunset Marquis. There, she experienced a lot of firsts, including some she probably wouldn't tell her parents.
Kelly Osbourne Said Ozzy Could Be Himself at the Sunset Marquis
The 41-year-old Kelly looked back at her time at the Sunset Marquis with her father in the film. The Osbourne family often stayed there while Ozzy was touring the United States.
Kelly said the Sunset Marquis was "the only hotel that my dad could stay in, at the time, where my dad could be himself."
She added, "We'd be kicked out of everywhere, but not the Sunset Marquis. My dad could misbehave politely here."
Kelly shared that she felt like the children's storybook character Eloise in the hotel. It would later become where she had her "first drink," "first kiss," and first line of cocaine.
"[It] was given to me by one of my dad's friends in a very, very, very big band, and I could never tell my parents because they would f***ing kill him," she said.
Sharon Osbourne Said Ozzy Liked the Hotel's Vibe
Kelly's mother, Sharon, said the Sunset Marquis was the place where rockers like Ozzy could maintain their "sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" vibe. But Ozzy also liked it because it was spacious. Sharon said he would often walk around and greet people in the hotel's different bungalows.
"He would love it here because he could wander. He could wander around outside in the garden. In those days he'd smoke," explained Sharon. "It was like you were in your own home with a lot of friends."
If These Walls Could Rock is available to stream on demand. You can watch the trailer below.
