In her original story, Osbourne claimed that the blaze began in her living room from festive candles. She claimed her rocker husband's "arm and half his hair" caught on fire while the assistant was asleep in the guest room.

The talk show host then demanded the assistant should "find the dogs" and "get the paintings out." After doing so, Osbourne originally claimed that the assistant was given an oxygen mask - only for her to take it from him, put it on her dog, and send him back into the blaze.
