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.
